When did we go from flatten the curve in order to keep hospitals from being over-run...

I remember pretty well that early on in this thing the belief was that nearly everyone who could get the virus would get the virus and that we needed to protect the old people and just slow the spread so that people who got the vid and needed hospitalization would have a bed available to them. Somewhere along the line that changed to nobody should ever get the virus and we should keep everything locked down until we can guarantee that.

When the authoritarians (fascists) like Jay Chinslee and Adolph Newsom figured out the sheeple wouldn't fight back, they tightened the screws and changed the narrative.

You do remember when 'liberal' meant being in favor of the rights of the individual and protection against government intrusion into one's civil liberties, right? That word got re-defined and it's now 'progressive' to limit the individual's unalienable rights and allowing the state to determine what is best for the individual....as long as it is exactly what the state wants.

I still think that their desire to shut everything down was more about hurting Trump then it ever was about the vid and now they have to continue that narrative because they're totally committed to it.

How is it that I could go into a Costco packed with people all through out this pandemic but I couldn't go to a barber with just me and the barber in the room?

Bingo!

It took exactly a week post election for some rat governors and mayors to start "suggesting" it was time to open things up again. A little too obvious.

You guys need to settle on one story. You're all over the place.

Too much money to be made by continuing the hype. Blue state public employee pension plans don't get bailed out without the fear of the vid still being out there.

Got it. Just wondering how you got from there to here.

Good luck the rest of the way.

Looked at the $2trillion Covid Bill the Rats are pushing. Never let a crisis go to waste is your party's prime directive.

It certainly started out that way. Once the money started flowing and crazy people got a taste of the power it evolved quickly. Jays interview with MyBrandi in early May where he openly admitted this was chance to reshape society was an early tell. It’s so laughable that the Trump being an authoritarian narrative is still out there.

Nobody expected your team to get even more crazy. You know why many expected the story to go away after the election and you know why it will never go away. Why do you suppot this insanity?

What changed on January 20 was blaming the president

It takes time to unwind the fear and politicians hate to give up power

I do remember hearing some of my friends say this. "It will be over after the election" Now they are saying the ;eft wants to keep the restrictions in place because of power. Completely hypocritical.

They translate what happens out here in fucking west coast naziville to the rest of the liberal states. I try and tell them that most blue states are not like Wash, Oregon and Cali. Most blue states are more moderate than what we have out here. Its why some of them go red in certain presidential years.

I have seriously considered moving in a year as my Son will graduate from high school this year. Our state is an utter embarrassment. The whole west coast is an embarrassment for that matter politically. Its the equivalent of the Mississippi's and Alabama's on the right side. Just closed minded and wrong.

What blue states are more moderate that what you have out here? New York? Illinois? Maryland? Most blue states are just as Rat fuck crazy as what you have out there.

I’ve been saying since late April that it wasn’t over from the dems perspective until states got their bailouts. I shifted in about June to it’s likely never going to be over even with bailouts.

Those who thought it was going to be over after the election underestimated the derangement of the democrats.

Guilty as charged. I way, way under estimated their desire to rape the treasury to bailout their blue states and to reward their donor class.
