Democrat
governors are not giving up their lockdowns no matter how much they
hurt people’s lives. With a total lack of irony, they ignore the real
science calling for reopening the economy and schools, while at the same
time they label “deniers” anyone who disagrees with fake climate change
science.
Science
is defined as “the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the
systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and
natural world through observation and experiment.”
Samples
of science: Don’t wear masks, wear masks; coffee will kill you, coffee
is good for you; chocolate will kill you, chocolate is good for you;
fatty foods will kill you, carbs will kill you; the world will freeze in
a nuclear winter, the oceans will bubble away as “kettle’s on the boil,
[when] we’re so easily [led astray].”
Even
though science does not always live up to its reputation, a decision
must be made and when the preponderance of the science says open, you
should open.
Governors,
who had no problem sending peoples’ mothers, fathers, grandmothers, and
grandfathers, the highest risk age group, to certain death alone in
nursing facilities while preventing their loved ones the opportunity to
even say, “Goodbye.” Later, they unabashedly, took a victory lap while
bragging to the world how successful they were. Now, they insist on
quarantining the least at-risk segment of the population by keeping
schools closed.
The
risk to school-age children COVID represents is infinitesimal, but they
claim schools should stay closed, “for the children.” The median age of
those succumbing to the virus is 78 years old. 99.96% are adults.
Nothing matters, fulsome Democrats fully plan to keep the economy shut
down through November 3, 2020.
Many children who took online classes during the pandemic never even
signed onto a computer for classes. It is a function of motivation and
just as many adults cannot work effectively from home, so it is with
youth. Sitting in your living room with mommy’s laptop is not a
situation conducive to learning. In addition, going to school has as
much to do with social interaction as it does with acquiring knowledge.
Yet,
knowing all this, Democrats are making a conscious decision to hurt our
children’s lives and future prospects to gain a presidency. And the
left pretends they are on the side of all that is right and just when
ironically, they will do anything not right and unjust to get what they
want. And they want closures until the election.
One
of the worst lessons learned by America’s Democrat mayors and governors
through the COVID and the riots, is the enormous, almost unlimited
power they have in an emergency. They literally can rule by decree. And
not only do they relish the opportunity to be dictators but also are
loath to give up their newly acquired power -- especially because it
allows them to ratchet up the misery for all those non-elite Americans
so it can be used as a cudgel to bludgeon Trump and perhaps cost him the
presidency.
That and racism…it is always something and
“racism.” The “something” changes depending on what Democrats and media
thinks they can sell, but the charge of “racism” remains static.
People
think America is a democracy. This is wrong; this country is a
republic, and as a republic, it is an agglomeration of 50 variegated
states. In reality, we have 50 separate and distinct fiefdoms, ruled by
governors who are essentially kings.
They
are not giving up the lockdowns and the attendant increased authority.
They can dictate which businesses can open and which will remain closed.
People can be forced to stay in their homes, and when allowed out, told
where they can go and what they are permitted to buy.
The
riots were even better for our new royalty, they could simultaneously
ignore the large, non-social distancing crowds and all the destruction
and violence while forcing healthy constituencies to remain quarantined.
For
the first time in the history of plague and pandemic, we decided to
quarantine the healthy -- something that would have been unimaginable a
short time ago.
The
rioting, combined with the damage to lives, careers and wealth done by
the lockdowns, all the arson, looting and destruction of property, and
the ruination of the economy is meant to give the King of Aphasia, Joe
Biden the opportunity to run against Trump’s lousy economy and riots.
And now, closed schools as well.
They
are refusing to reopen schools even though youth has almost zero risk
with COVID -- it might have something to do with mothers and fathers
being unable to both go back to work if their children are still stuck
at home.
As
for all the damage, destruction, and job losses, the Democrat governors
are making worse, as Michelle Obama when selling her school lunch
program, once was rumored to have said, “Let them eat…nothing!”
Democrats
are assuming that with full control of the media, they can convince
people that all this is Trump’s fault. And if they can keep the election
close enough, they can steal it with illegal voting, illegals voting,
and illegally stealing votes -- that’s why they are now questioning,
with frightening synchronicity, whether Trump will leave office when he
loses, while simultaneously warning that it will take weeks to count the
votes (they’re loading their car trunks with “lost ballots” as we
speak).
The
Democrats have created an agglutination of economy-killing lockdowns;
closed schools; property-destroying, sanguinary riots; electoral fraud;
and media calumny and lies. All to be used against a president who was
virtually guaranteed reelection mere months ago.
Instead
of coming up with policies they believe would match or surpass the
success President Trump has had with the economy, the stock market,
employment, wealth creation, etc., Democrats choose to destroy this
country so Americans can suffer for the sin of not electing Hillary
Clinton in 2016 and be given the government they deserve, “good and
hard.”
It
is one thing to ruin the lives of adults over something political but
another entirely to do it to children. The saddest part of it all is
they just might succeed.
