The Economic “Reopening” Is A Fake Out: It is not meant to last. It is a steam valve to calm public outrage and to condition us to periodic tyranny.

You probably shouldn’t have posted that. Just saying...

[jmcenanly]

Will they do this for every flu season now?
Probably just those before critical elections. If they do it too often, people will just ignore them.

[A strike]

He’s a full of it lockdown apologist.

The reopening in red states will be different from the blue states. What this article describes is likely to happen only in blue states. The successful states will stick it out as the pandemic runs its course. Over time the red states, like Sweden, will develop herd immunity earlier and become more financially strong while the blues states will lose populations and become weaker. I can see location quarantines and lockdowns in all states but no more broad lockdowns in any one red state.

Interesting thought. I hardly ever watch TV but was watching some 80s movies on some random channel last night. I was stunned at all the stay-at-home-is-great ads. 90 percent of them at least.

“Wear a mask! The choices are:
Wear a mask and keep the spread down and the economy reopens and stays open.
Don’t wear a mask and go through repeated closings.
Don’t wear a mask and don’t close and risk overwhelming the hospital system and deaths soaring.
We can take the masks off when the virus quits circulating in our areas.

Which is never. The flu and the common cold, also a corona virus, have yet to be stopped. We never shut down the country for those two viruses.

He allowed this time. He supported this time. And he's done a lot to back this up. His administration has dragged its feet over ousting the traitors, the democrats orchestrate not just false narratives, but full on fake trials, fake accusations, fake charges. We sit back and keyboard our way through wondering when something will be done to remove the deep swamp. A vaccine being touted, when one has never been crafted before against corona-viruses...

Yes, I waffle between trust and question. Trump could have changed tactics over the past 8 weeks, he didn't. He is stubbornly staying the course. One needs to ask why? He claims now, no further shut-downs...I don't see his promissory rainbow at the moment.

We wont get fooled again, try it. We played your game and found your game was a means to instill control. We have begun to water the liberty tree they better hope it doesnt get more thirsty

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yes it was a trial run and it worked one time. Next time its going to face major pushback. Americans will only stand so much BS from govt before saying no.

[richardtavor]

The people have just about reached their limit. June will see the rebellion in full force in many states. Eventually, even the Blue States will rebel...

[The Great RJ]

The only reason these lock downs succeeded was due to an utterly corrupt media pushing mass panic with the narrative we are all going to die unless we did this. Now the models of mass deaths have been proven wrong, makeshift field hospitals and huge hospital ships were empty, thousands of respirators rushed into production sit unused and there were no mass graves. Americans have also seen the totalitarian side of liberals particularly state governors who used this media induced panic to implement draconian orders that trampled on our fundamental rights. We have also seen the folly of state controlled economies where faceless bureaucrats decide what products can be sold by whom, how many people can gather in churches and imposing utterly silly regulations like the wearing of masks by restaurant patrons who are there to eat.

We relinquished our rights cheaply in the name of a phony panic and now we see how hard it is to get them back. Perhaps the Depression level unemployment and the thousands of closed small businesses will be remembered when people go to the pols in November. However now even our right to free and fair elections is being challenged with a push for voting by mail. This tactic would make elections a sham with votes being manufactured by party hacks to produce pre ordained results. How quickly we could become a banana republic Is frightening.

[I want the USA back]

Part of the plan includes cancelling the presidential debate, so Trump won’t get to say to biden: “Good evening, Joe, do you know where you are?”

We need to have a presidential debate!

[cp124]

Live PD had commercials with the insufferable stay at home we are all in this together the new normal BS and then back to live in SC where people are high fiving, shacking hands, partying up (including the cops) like nothing happened. This is the biggest flimflam in world history and you still have a good percentage (mostly idiot liberals) that are falling for it.

[DeplorableGirl]

Since I first saw those commercials it was nothing but propaganda.
It’s meant as you said to mollify the masses. Also think the sappy emotional
tone is to keep the stupid & easily swayed; easier to brainwash. And that’s what this is, government propaganda brainwashing & conditioning.
Love your tag line! :)

[Jane Long]

Agree w/both of you, on the sappy propaganda commercials.

Which company has NOT bought in to this cr@p??

Even Tractor Supply has a guy looking at grills....wearing a mask.

Every time I see one of these ads, I know I WON’T be shopping there.

[Mariner]

Every restaurant in my county is open. Well, those that survived anyway.

And I’m in CA where there is a county by county approach.

[Jane Long]

Fiction. Trump wont allow it.

Even in NY, CA, IL, WI, PA and NJ?

Don’t Govs have the final say, regarding shut downs in their states?

Elections have consequences...should be the rallying cry, for MAGA, this election season. So much RICH material to work with, with all of these blue state tyrannical abuse of rights taking place.

[MarDav]

Perhaps it’s a Democrat ploy to relocate their voters to Red states to steal the election.

[Fury]

Bkmk for later read.
