Their assumptions are so often priceless, lol.

Those who you have criticized for being unhinged (myself, EG, GG) never advocated for the conspiracy theories listed in the article - we never said that the death count was exaggerated, or that the vaccines will be used to implant tracking chips.
You're simply trying to attack the validity of our viewpoint - which is, in a nutshell: yes the virus is here, yes its real, yes its dangerous for some people but not for the overwhelming majority of people, and its NOT going away so its time for people to be free to make their own decisions about how they will individually respond in their own life to this reality.

Its actually sad. Those who refuse to see the contradictions in the narrative, while worshipping their Lord and Savior (the Saint of Science, the Prophet of Progress, Saint Anthony Fauci, Peace Be Upon Him) have the audacity to label those who retain their critical thinking skills as somehow having been seduced by conspiracy theories...

In 20 years no on will admit to having supported the vindictive criminals in DC about any issue, including covid policies.

I think you haven’t traveled much outside of the US.

Unless you are a minority, this country will give you free pass second chances and a do over. The people complaining they don’t have freedom are the ones disproportionately jailed and abused by cops.

It’s funny I’m a minority and worked hard to make money. You threee are at an advantage because you have a white face. All you have to do is put forth some effort to work. You won’t get pulled over and racially profiled by a cop. You weren’t segregated from the population as recently as 50 years ago.
So.. you acknowledge that COVID isn't going anywhere and is here to stay. But you then say that the current restrictions are staying until COVID is "under control".. which will be - never. If this is how you want to live your life permanently, so be it - you're free to do so. Its not illegal to be a germaphobe. But the rest of us have the right to live our lives as we see fit, instead of being prisoners to your fears. Wear three masks and latex gloves and take a booster shot every 3 months. Have at it, none of us will stop you.

Ain't it funny that there was no acknowledgement of how wrong their assumption was? Instead they changed gears into the fact that we need mental health treatment. As well as bringing racism into the conversation.

Maybe you want to send a PM to Yac and ask for help with changing your username, as thinking independently doesn't seem to be a strong suit of yours at the moment - nor do you seem to tolerate independent thinking in others.

Would rep you again if I could. Yeah, I've been dealing with this type where I live in the Cincinnati area as well. Fed up with the ignorance of people that can't utilize logic to make rational decisions or accurately comprehend what is really taking place. They have a very distorted view of reality.

Covid is a vacation of the cold viruses that have been around since the dawn of time. It likely will not go away and we'll have to deal with it as it morphs, just like the common cold. Sadly many politicians and the medical industry are using this as an excuse to abuse people and seize power that otherwise would be held in check in "normal" times. And this is not just happening the USA but also in many countries around the country.

A quick PS. For those of you that have that have to endure dealing with the ignorance just outlined by Tyovan, you may want to relocate to small town or rural America. You can still find some people that don't view everyone that doesn't march in lock step with their agenda as being a problem. Precisely what I am doing. Done with urban living thanks to the continual bad experiences with the people in the Cincinnati metro and prior to that Indy metro.

Bingo - you get it.
I grew up in a small town in Lancaster County - and everyday that I live here (Ive been here 12 years) I realize more and more how I dont fit in and never will. The culture is simply too different.
Another 12 years and I max my pension and my kid will have graduated college - so I can sell and leave for greener pastures.
