    "Until it's safe" means never!

    An apropos article over at Breitbart this morning:
    The politicians told us we must lockdown while our economy collapsed in order to flatten the curve of the coronavirus. They lied.


    I think the answer to the questions he poses is that the Democrats want to create as much economic chaos and misery out of this as they can because they see this as a pathway to seize the power and control over people that they have always craved.

          Not much else he can do IMO. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. If the 2 Million Deaths had become reality Trump would have looked terrible for not believing it. He made sure there were enough ventilators and hospital beds. Mission accomplished.

          Meanwhile we've learned that this virus is flu-like. The media has had two months to brainwash the population and all Dem governors are going to milk this hoax into the fall.

            "Until it's safe" is the new "it's for the children."
            An impossible-to-satisfy demand that's impossible to argue against without being smeared as uncaring or hateful.

              The world will never be "safe" people will always get hurt or die. That's part of life. Libtards need to get over it. I'd rather live free with some risk of death than huddle in my home like a little retarded libtard for the rest of my life.

                    I can't believe we are letting the country be destroyed by fear-mongering democrats. We are the greatest nation on earth and we are giving it all up for the flu. Is everyone going to stay locked down forever? Shut down the economy and let us turn into a s---hole country like Venezuela in a few years?

                    It would be better to let people get the virus and die and keep the economy open. I don't care if that sounds harsh. It's true. What is the point of protecting a small vulnerable portion of the population if we turn into a country like Venezuela or Cuba in the process? I would rather die than watch that happen to America.

                          Sigh. Of course you are correct. That's not the point.

                          At this point, it's only about one thing: getting re-elected. Logic has NOTHING to do with it, as you correctly observe -- if we wait until it's safe, we'll be waiting forever.

                          But Trump has to appease the sheeple. He has to position himself for the attacks which will come. He has to be able to run a campaign which can win the critical swing states, and that means the people in those states must have their concerns addressed, and those people are not as logical as we all wish they were.

                          So all you'll see him do is following a script which, in the opinion of his advisors, will maximize his chances of re-election.

                          A huge part of it will be getting the appearance of the economy going, and so he'll happily inject trillions of debt dollars to get the wheels turning again. Will billions and billions be lost to corruption and incompetence and waste? You better believe it. But the election is in the balance, and so nothing else matters

                              You folks do understand this is the same method(s) used for 9/11 right ? We will never be able to fly normally again because of the terror threat. Even amended some liberties/freedoms in the name of terror and now we have to be strip searched to board a plane and can't carry a normal can/bottle of shaving cream , Shampoo or tooth paste.

                              WAKE UP ! Neither party is our friend , they are the Elite and they each have ulterior motives imho.
