Yes. The Left’s gross overreach of power during COVID should never be forgotten. Sorry, not sorry.



What about the shutdown starting and continuing for months under the Trump administration?

Its so obvious the platforms dont even make sense anymore. Are tariffs some huge republican economic policy that has always existed? No. Its a policy they got assigned with pushing through so that big biusiness could off smaller businesses that cant afford to absorb them.

Lots of small businesses will go bankrupt then the tariffs will be repealed.

0 people on North Sentinel Island have ever been diagnosed with cancer. Living there prevents cancer.

You realize these things have to be diagnosed right?

Again, no one’s denying money influences politics, but pretending Republicans and Democrats are interchangeable because ‘muh corporations!’ is just lazy. And also a very transparent deflection by you OT Moderates. It’s apart of your greatest hits.

If both parties are the same, explain why one side is ruining public schools with DEI nonsense and gender ideology while the other is at least trying to give parents a choice. Explain why one side defends open borders while the other calls for security. Those aren’t accidents or master plans, they are policy choices (ones you vote for).

And dismissing everyone as too dumb to see it isn’t wisdom, it’s smugness. For the life of me, I can’t figure out where that comes from.…

Was it the Trump administration forcing people out of work, closing churches, shuttering schools, closing public parks, or mandating medical choices?

The Left’s COVID shutdowns were unprecedented government overreach into daily life, with long-term damage we’re still living through. Pretending those two situations are the same is either dishonest or willfully blind.

Because without the illusion of choice the people would have rebelled long ago.

Balancing the illusion of choice is just as important as implementing their policies. They can afford to play the long game.

"DEI" was invented by corporations.

So now it’s all just an ‘illusion of choice’?

A convenient way of pretending voters and politicians don’t actually matter.

And as for DEI, sure corporations push it, but who codifies it into law, policy, and curriculum? Not CEOs. Politicians.

Pretending it’s all a shadowy long game just lets the Left off the hook for the mess they’ve openly championed. Have they not?

You cant get elected without financial backing from corporations. They put the politician in office that puts it into law. If one guy wont do it, they put someone else in.

You are basically saying Roger Goodell runs the NFL and makes all the decisions, not the owners.

Or the homeless? So many seem as old as Methuselah or looking like living the hard life if younger, yet keep going. I’m meaning true homeless.

That’s a cute analogy, but it actually makes my point. Roger Goodell may answer to the owners, but he still signs off on suspensions, rule changes, and league decisions.

Same with politicians. yes, money helps them get there, but once in office, they’re the ones voting, legislating, and shaping culture.

Pretending they’re just mindless middle managers is a convenient way to excuse the very real and very public decisions they make.

We all know why you want to conveniently ignore this and shift the focus on the shadowy elites and corporations. Same reason you started the other thread, it’s painfully transparent. Yet you have the nerve to insult the intelligence of others in half of the smug bullshite you post.

They allowed natural immunity to handle it. I had a number of them working at my house, during Covid, it’s how they handled it. No masks, no social distancing, just normal behavior.

New research from West Virginia University sociologists suggests this face-to-face interaction, coupled with a distrust in preventative medicine, led to “excess deaths” among the Amish population in 2020.

The death rate for that year soared above the baseline average from 2015 to 2019, with the largest spike – 125% - occurring in November.


The Amish population externally observed in this "study" was about 100 people. The annual death rate skyrocketed from 4 to 5! Shocking!

The "study" information was painstakingly drawn from published obituaries, which, as stated in the study, did not include what caused the extra death(s).

So, once again, Zebadiah was trampled by a mule, which certainly was caused by covid. None of us are safe.
