If you look at a map of America that shows when states are reopening, ALL of the states on lockdown until June and July have Democrat governors. That’s not a coincidence. They want as much economic devastation and government dependence as possible. The good news is that they will pay for it in November.

Yup, that's their only interest right now, defeating Trump, and they don't care how much they have to hurt the country in order to accomplish that goal. As a result, the single most dangerous threat to the US at the moment is the DNC.

Anything bad for the country gains them power, anything good for the country hurts them....and they've proved time and time again that they'll do literally anything to gain power.


I think any impartial person has to admit just how destructive that party is, that's not to say the Republicans are awesome....there's MANY reasons I'm not a Republican, but damn man, Democrats are just outright enemies of the US.

If the Democrats continue to insist on tyrannically keeping things shut down endlessly, there is going to be a bloodbath in November. So, I hope they keep it up.
Quarantine' is when you restrict the movement of sick people.
Tyranny' is when you restrict the movement of healthy people.

I’ve seen the same behaviors. The ones who were dead freaking out about not even getting the mail are now out and about (yet are still mask shaming people). It’s about time.

I saw this coming though. When the weather gets warmer and people realize that the death count is largely just fabricated, people are going to wonder what the hell were doing anymore and wake up out of this.

You’ll still have the paranoid trope of Karen’s who are staying in and spying on neighbors no matter what.
