Democrats Say True Lockdowns Have Never Been Tried

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—During a rally in Nancy Pelosi's district today, several prominent Democrats called for more nationwide lockdowns to combat the new COVID variants.

"It's important to understand—true lockdowns have never been tried," said Pelosi. "The last time we tried it, we had too many exceptions and the Trump Administration managed it very poorly. If we enact new 'Democratic Lockdowns' with the right people in charge, that will be just what we need to fight the virus and it will definitely work this time."

Democrats are proposing new "Democratic Lockdowns" as a cure for every problem America faces—from COVID and climate change to systemic racism.

"If we just make all the pesky people stay in their houses forever, we'll have no more problems," said Congresswoman Jackie Speier. "I realized that after I realized almost all the problems are caused by people!"

Democrats will be proposing new legislation next week mandating permanent lockdowns for everyone entitled the "For the Good of All People Act".

Republicans responded with a conservative proposal to lock everyone down for just a few months instead.

A ‘True Lockdown’ is like ‘True Communism’, every time it fails, the proponents say ‘NEXT TIME’ it will work! The “D’ems see this as their chance, lock ue down for 2022 and mail in our ballots. Yep, that is their dream!

Unfortunately, it’s too real to considered satire. To liberals, satire are read as suggestions.

Their perennial rationalization.

Because everything we’ve done so far hasn’t worked at all as promised the only answer is to do more of it!

And true socialism has never been tried, either.

We talked to one of our friends in Australia this morning. They are only allowed to leave their homes for essential purposes.

Looked to see if this was a story from the Babylon bee. She has got to be kidding. She wants to be in control so bad but knows if something happened and she was president she would be caught in about 2 seconds so she keeps her position where she is so she can control and do what she wants. You all heard her on a live mic when biden was going to take questions and he asked her if he was supposed to. She didn’t realize she was hot and said NO, WE DONT WANT HIM TALKING. I think she hates him but they can control him.

Australia has returned to being a Penal Colony.

Yep. That’s clearly the reference they are mocking.
