That's because the liberals made protesting illegal, by overhyping and overblowing the Beer-19 virus. You can't protest if you can't assemble. This raises the question: Why are they called "liberals" if they're against liberty?

Next law in line: Anyone venturing outside the home must wear a barcoded police-scannable RFID badge.

It would be every bit as political if a Democrat were in office. If the "leftist media" were hailing a Dem POTUS as the savior of mankind, as you say, the Republicans would obstruct the POTUS every step of the way, as they did throughout Obama's administration. Business as usual.

One particular demographic they have brainwashed to the tune of roughly 92% even! An amazing feat under any circumstance!
You must be talking about the Trump Administration, because all of what you said fits to a tee.

Glad we agree on something.

A number of replies here point back to the 2016 election. You can see why, since that year the nation has watched the DNC try to overturn the election any way they can. The shock of Hillary losing was so devastating to them.

Imagine what we'll see from them if Biden loses.....

Things are always political on some level. I do think that if this was a Dem president we wouldn't be seeing this level of nastiness. The Republicans would be playing games, no doubt. I just have never seen anything like what we have now. This hatred of Trump and the get him at all cost the media is displaying is just crazy. Bush didn't get it this bad and Obama mostly certainly didn't take a beating the way Trump is. I say this a person that isn't really a huge fan of Trump, but anyone with an ounce of objectivity could see it or least they should if they are being intellectually honest.

Remember back in the good old days when attacking a President's kids was considered off limits?

There should be some things that remain non partisan.

Otherwise, we're doomed.

Using a global pandemic as a political weapon is just an undeniable dick move.

It also became political because most countries were not prepared for a pandemic despite a history of pandemics over the centuries.

The countries that have coped best had better provision and organsation in terms of testing, equipment and hospital beds, and lessons are going to have to be learned in terms of national security reviews in many countries across the world.

I'll bet the British left and right are working far more cooperatively for the public good in the face of Covid-19 than the left and right are, or ever do, in the US. But, then again, most advanced countries' governments work together politically for the benefit of their respective countries better than does the US government, so that's not a risky bet.

Brave New World would learn a whole new definition of the phrase "political dysfunction" if he lived in the US.

Never let a crisis go to waste as the old saying goes. In my opinion what we're seeing right now is shameful.

The Democrats will never stop us from defeating the virus. The vaccine will be developed, manufactured in huge quantities and COVID-19 will become history while they endlessly point to America's shortcoming and declare that the vaccine is another right wing failure and is only meant to enrich the few and subjugate the masses.
