There was absolutely no reason why people on FR who had just spent four years rightly deriding the mainstream media as “fake news” to suddenly start accepting the bullsh!t flooding the airwaves without hesitation.
Like I said ... that’s when I knew this country was doomed. Even a bunch of people right here on FR who spend hours online promoting themselves as principled conservatives turned out to be nothing more than pathetic, gullible fools.
That’s exactly when I knew the country was doomed, too.
Yeah, 15 days to slow the spread/flatten the curve for hospital resources was fine. Another 30 days, ok overkill but still ok as a just in case. Anything by the media, the hysteria, never ok.
Once the 30 days continued, it was a coup.
All the lost small businesses while Amazon, Walmart, Target,chain restaurants, profited. All the riots since May.
Saddest part, so many so called conservatives on this site chose communism/socialism/fascism/police state over freedom.A pandemic with a 99% recovery rate for most of society totally decimated tens of millions of middle class families.And during this “pandemic” the main issues and EOs, Advertisements, etc. are all about POC, etc. Amazing so many are so willing to give up their very freedom for BS.
This last year opened my eyes to so much. I gave the ok to finally move out of this communist state. Bought land and started building a house in Florida. House listed on Monday. Showings on Tuesday and today. Many offers $30,000 plus over listing price (NJ) and by next week if not earlier contracts signed. Leaving four adult kids, tons of family and friends. If I’m gonna live in a communist country, it’s gonna be in paradise. And they’ll always be a way to see my kids.
We chose Florida for a few reasons but the main one is how it will be the least likely to ever lock down again while also being a tropical climate.
