If Trump wins it will justify their coup and revolution as they will claim the country is out of control and they will use the disorder they have started to legitimize their forceful takeover.

If they win the election they will use the seriously damaged economy as justification to quickly transition the US into a socialist nation. The constitution will be reworked and social justice causes will be enshrined in law.

Whether the leftist tyrants take power through revolution and coup or they are elected (like Hitler) we must remember that they are radicals who demand radical change. The plan-demic is a very important part of their plot.

So is staying barricaded in your house 24/7 and bathing in hand sanitizer.

But eventually you'll kill your immune system so you won't have a choice bubble boy.

Who the hell wants to live like that?

do some want the COVID way of living to be a permanent normal?


is this the end of in person schools, colleges, bars, gyms, movie theaters, audiences at sporting events, concerts etc? Are small businesses screwed?

When did “flattening the curve” turn into “have no infections and deaths” which is likely only possible with permanent, perpetual lockdowns?

these questions must always be asked.
There are no lockdowns in the US. No one, including those who test positive are forced to quarantine.

When infection rates are soaring ( locally) is not flattening the curve.

Most countries ban the entry of US people because of the potential Covid risks.

No vaccine is 100% effective.

How long will the employees in the WH and others who will have close proximity to Trump continue to be constantly tested with results in minutes not days or weeks?

Yes!

This is precisely the goal of those who feel the man or woman in the street doesn't possess the reason and wisdom to look after his/her own interests, and that only a supposedly-benevolent Big Brother/Sister with absolute power can effectively control every facet of our lives.

Not that I want to be 'forced' to wear one, tho.
More proof that Madison Avenue and the Media are out to reduce us to a nation of idiot sheep.

He will use a magic wand that will immediately put an end to all civil unrest, violence, arson, property destruction and looting, too.

I don’t know why he is withholding that magic wand right now, other than the ongoing civil unrest h
has given him a lifeline.

I see a lot of people say they think this will be over after the election. Not sure why? As long as the cdc keeps reporting numbers why would anyone want to get this regardless of who is in office.
