Count me among the Pollyannas who was sure that when the election was done the pandemic would be “done,” too. November 4 would dawn bright and clear, the thunderheads of contagion looming on the horizon dissipated by a dry air mass of political reality.
And I was not alone. None other than President Trump was with me, as were pols and pundits across the conservative landscape who speculated that the draconian restrictions on liberty were as much a political tactic employed by the Left as they were a public prophylactic against viral pestilence.
If Biden won, the Democrats would stumble into sanity and downplay the potency of the virus — we need only protect vulnerable populations, those with comorbidities, they would say; everybody else can return to normal. Or they would adopt more amenable metrics for analyzing the crisis — the number of cases doesn’t matter, because practically everybody recovers; it’s deaths caused by COVID alone that are important. They would urge a return to normalcy, and a few months later claim credit for a booming economy.
If Trump won, the Dems would see the futility of their political gambit and back off — I told you I was a Pollyanna. I mean, they wouldn’t keep this up for four more years. Would they?
The result, either way, would be kids streaming into classrooms and fans flooding into NFL stadiums. We could get back to where we were before China dispatched its ambassadors of death.
But it didn’t happen. The election is nearly two months into our rearview mirror, and the lockdowns continue, and are even being gleefully ramped up in Democrat strongholds like California SSR.
What’s more, there is very little hand-wringing from liberal politicians and their media minions. Lockdowns have retained their pre-election cachet and journalistic imprimatur....

There is only one way historically that a govt ever gives up power.
The election is not “over” over. So they keep up the panic porn to distract the population from the election fraud.
They have tasted total power by decree, and they like it.
Because of the dangers of COVID-19, Joe Biden will “keep us safe”. /s
I really hate what the deep state and our Marxist media is willing to do to this once great country.
Only peaceful way this is going to end it through cooperative effort on a national scale. Each of those lockdown politicians need to be shunned by society.
Imagine an easily accessed list of troublesome bureaucrats which individuals can reference before doing business.
Need a plumber? Tough. No service.
Need a gardener? Tough. No service.
Need a bottle of booze? Tough. No service.
Travel to another State and get into a car accident? Need a tow truck? Tough. No service.
Make it so they can’t even purchase food without fear of being turned away.
Make daily life impossible.
Covid camps.
You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave.

No way. They have to keep this “emergency” going through the mid-terms. Mail in ballots are going to seal-the-deal.
Marxists are winning big and our politicians are too unprincipled to care about anything other than their and their families bank accounts.
The election is not done yet.
“ The election is not done yet.”

That point is moot. They’re (the Marxists) still going to keep the emergency going through the mid-terms.
Re-Education Day Spas (REDS) Sheez!
I will be glad to talk to you underneath the Diversity Pavilion, comrade.
A mutated covid virus is next and they extend the lockdowns indefinitely.
For your own good.
Because the government cares about you so much.
under the ‘control’ category, the drums have already started beating to draw the misguided out into the streets again. Witness the recent article in Teen Vogue and notice the author’s name:

Need Botox injections? Tough, no service.
Now that is just being mean!
I’m open to the idea of allowing Botox injections as long as they use needles the size of a turkey baster.
It will never end. Power grabs by Control Freaks are never willingly given up. Any excuse will do.
On the contrary, it will het worse. The dry run succeeded better than their wildest dreams. Next fake excuse will be much worse. Outright gun confiscation nis coming. It always does.

Exactly. Now it’s the “new strain” that will make them continue their charade.
“The pandemic shut down cannot end while Joe Biden is president, at least not through the inauguration.”
I think I’ve surmised by listening to War Room, that there will be no traditional inauguration if Biden is inaugurated. Of course, the rationalization will be eeee-vil Covid; the REASON will be that Joe will drool and stutter and we can’t have the American people see that.
“Need Botox injections? Tough, no service.”
And Pelosi replies, “I don’t like the sound of that!”
