As left-wing Democrat-controlled states continue to keep people in lockdown, it is becoming apparent that they are using the pandemic as a means to gain ultimate control of people's lives.

In fact, leftists the world over are exploiting the pandemic in order to create their alleged utopias. Vanessa Vallejo, a Colombian activist and columnist explains that

Whenever they come to power, communists work hard to create a clientele network that will vote for them and support them in the future. So instead of looking for real solutions to lift people out of poverty altogether, they offer them subsidies or useless jobs where citizens are dependent on politicians. At the same time, they make life difficult for entrepreneurs, resulting in more and more unemployed people who can be hooked into their clientele network. Many of them will not be able to get subsidies, but plunging them into poverty will make them easy prey to convince so long as the government offers them aid and blames right-wing entrepreneurs and politicians for their misery.

BINGO! If Government employees were furloughed, like most workers, there would be no epidemic. Everyone would be Flubros and Flubras.

Let’s quit dancing around the elephant in the room and call it what it is.

It’s one giant power grabbing, disgusting, unconstitutional #Tyrannogasm.

And it is making all the little tyrants go blind.

And we need to stop them before they murder any more of us.
