Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

It took me about three nanoseconds.

 

Many of the people questioning were the Alternate Facts crowd. That is a large factor in all this.

The party that did push for lockdowns did so because they wanted to be careful and save lives, not because of some conspiracy-minded BS from the Jade Helm crowd.

As for the censoring issue, forgive a lot of us for rather wanting to listen to doctors and disease experts instead of online gossip mongers.

 

To quote Vince Dooley: "Suh, have you been heah all day?"

 

Ahem.

 

I’m one of the people who thought schools should’ve been closed at first.

Then I saw the pathetic attempts at “virtual learning” and the immense damage the closures had on school-aged kids, both academically and socially. I see it firsthand and I see it every single day.

They needed to be back in person as soon as was humanly possible — at the very least, by the start of the 2020-21 school year.

Where the back-to-school folks lost me was when they demanded that kids go back as if nothing happened. No masks, no distancing, no mitigation measures at all.

It made no sense and only served to harden the lines that caused the stalemate to begin with.

Our kids were caught in the crossfire and may never recover.

And, if you feel the need to assign “blame,” there is plenty to go around on all sides.

 

Respond to the opinion. Not some idea of where you think it comes from.

 

This is a fucking bizarro world. One party is never defined by its loony edge, but conservatives are all lumped together by one flaming asshole.

 

74 million people voted for the flaming asshole. That's not a looney edge. That's the current state of the "conservative" movement.

 

Donald Trump is not and was not a conservative. His first act was corporatist bullshit. He has a hardon for state power.

There is an entirely vibrant group of conservatives who oppose Trump. To dismiss their opinions simply because the party they tend to align with voted for Trump is simplistic and dismissive.

 

I agree with the first part. The second part just isn't true. If the party you "tend to line up with" is still run by Trump, which it is, it's time to blow it up. Or have the other party leaders actually grow spines and fucking lead, rather than cower and cater to him.

 

They’ve almost all been voted out of office. Liz Cheney voted with the guy 97 percent of the time or some ridiculous shit, and she lost her race by a 2-1 margin because she dared to say the will of the voters should be respected. The rest of the lot are taking a cue from Linds and grabbing their ankles every day. Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy are too afraid to dare question their great leader. Very vibrant, that bunch.

 

Doesn't that say as much about the alternatives the Democrats offered up as it does about Trump?
