Not true. Is Saudi Arabla a 'left' government? I don't think so.

Yes, that’s why Democrats love COVID19.

Muslims in this country often vote democrat.

I could see how you think it's right because of the strict religious laws. my argument as a libertarian and who leans right is that a government that is leaning right would want small government and less rules and laws which would prevent authoritarianism.

It really ticks me off that so many don't see this is used to take away our civil liberties.

Can't watch this cartoon, read this book and so on we go. This country is turning into a version of Maoist China,
I have coworker from Taiwan who said the same thing about the cancel culture. About a year before Covid, she came up to me one day out of the blue and said "You know, this taking down statues is what the communists did in China during the Cultural Revolution".

So we have a hard time believing that so many people a the highest levels of power would be so psychopathic. But many are. And they're the ones running the show. It's the story of human history. It's repeating itself again. And most people still don't get it.

I believe so. instead of targeting just the jews now they are trying to control everyone. you might say this is nonsense but I would assume someone who lived through Nazi Germany and still has their mental sharpness has some wisdom and can see evil when it pops up.

listen to this woman yourself. I got emotional watching it. I remember when i saw everyone wearing masks outside in my state i sensed a evil. I told my friend they might start killing people.

Masking children who do not even spread the virus is horrible.

Here is the video....

You know Hitler did not start killing the jews right away you lose your rights incrementally. He did not put them in camps in the beginning.

Can you please ignore that the website says we love trump trump has nothing to do with this and is not in office. this is a real person who survived the holocaust. This is far bigger than any politician.

For those that do not know Canada's restrictions are far worse then the United states but we could get there. they force you into a hotel and give you very little food If they suspect you were in contact or may have coronavirus. IF you leave the hotel you will be arrested.

In Australia their lockdowns are insane I saw a video of the police ripping a baby out of a mothers arms.

I just left welovetrump.com. They have an update. I read that in Canada if you are exposed to someone who is known to be infected by covid-19 they will put you in a motel and feed you nothing but a bread and water diet. And I hear that the motel is a Super 8, for god's sake. They couldn't even spring for a Travelodge or a Day's Inn. And the water is not bottled water but straight tap water. Oh the humanity!

It ticks me off when cons don’t realize that the USA fared among the best countries in the world at preserving civil liberties during a global pandemic. Yet instead of using that occasion to celebrate the incredible level of freedom that is evidence of, they instead try to keep dividing people with entitled attitudes.

And it isn't just conservatives and libertarians who see the power grab for what it is. Naomi Wolf, who is quite far to the left, has been saying the same thing since the beginning of Covid:

Look this is not over. so some loss of rights are ok? what if you owned a business for 25 years and the state told you you had to shut down long enough that you could not recover?

Walmart was able to stay open but a mom and pop store was not?

This ain't over yet you just wait.

Sweden preserved people's freedoms more than any country.

they violated the right to worship by restricting the number of people in a church.

they limited people's right to movement with lockdowns which caused people to die from suicide. children are committing suicide and they can not go to school.

drug addiction and alcoholism have gone up. a virus did not do that the government did.
