You can bet that most leftists are dreaming up ways to get their power back.

“ I understood the fear. I had elderly people in my family, and I wanted to protect them. That’s why I eventually took the COVID shot”

…then you’re a dumbass

It’s always the balance between Liberty and Security.

And the secret is: Liberty matters. It’s everything. Security is nothing. Do not seek Security, because it’s a trap. There is no “balance” between the two. Choose Liberty.

Easy - vote for a Socialist (they have a “D” listed after their name) or sit on your hands and refuse to vote R because Trump lives rent-free in your brain and you’ll shoot yourself in the foot before voting for someone that he’ll then take credit for.

That’s how you make it happen. And we can all sit on our couches watching TV all day with paper diapers on our faces.

A lot of Americans desperately want to go back to that. They need the structure of being told exactly what to do and when to do it. It also seems to give them a sense of purpose that they lack.

Covid never left, its still here. Difference is, dim-0s arent trying to use it again to kill the economy like they did against Trump.

How many new and innovative viruses have been engineered since 2020?

Up until 2020, you took shots to protect your own life or comfort from a disease, not to protect others. It would have to be a threat or some very extraordinary circumstance for me to have a substance, albeit NOT fully tested, injected into my arm for someone else. “Immunity for the Community”…KMA!

I am reminded that I was vaccinated and still caught Covid from someone who was also vaccinated. So the whole “save grandma” narrative was a joke.

COVID changed the way I hear the word “temporary.”

Give power hungry deep state globalist commie child trafficking islamophiles an inch and they'll take a mile.

So don't. Ever!

Our local Home Depot allowed 54 people in at any given time. On walkie-talkies they monitored the entrance and exit. 20 miles south at Menard’s they allowed up to 2000. And the titty poles were worked daily. Our government hates Americans.

I remember a restaurant asking us, before seating, for our phone number as it was REQUIRED by the State.

We turned around and left.

A list of “what was the worst” might be good:

* Firing people from jobs because they wouldn’t take an unproven DRUG for an overhyped virus
* The Shutting down of “non-essential businesses” - which were absolutely essential for those that owned them (plus the stupidity of then making everyone go only to the SAME stores)
* Putting infected people into nursing homes while knowing the elderly were the most vulnerable
* Denying MEDICAL CARE if you hadn’t had the shot
* Continuously asserting that “masks work” when they clearly don’t (leading to people being assaulted and treated as less than human if they weren’t wearing one)
* Politicians that benefitted from it all have never been made accountable.

None of this aligns with our Constitution or our concepts of freedom. All done without any authority, done just by saying the magic word “emergency”. I’m surprised Biden didn’t extend his powers by just issuing “emergency powers” in everything D’s don’t like (guns, energy, etc.).

It’s insane to look back on - I think we tend to block it out.
