Will 2021 be a better year than 2020? We shall see. But the question I’m leaving open for discussion is this:
Which was worse? Covid or The Steal?
So some excess deaths occurred. How does that compare to the end of the USA and the beacon of liberty in the world?
the steal.
The COVID was our version of the Hong Kong Flu in the late 60’s.
The steal means we are denied our vote.
The Steal.
COVID is not the threat to our safety and freedom that stealing the election is going to turn out to be.
The Steal was going to happen anyways.
They tried it in 2016 and weren’t expecting the massive turnout for Trump so it didn’t work.
This time they were ready for the presidential election, although, again, they were so over confident about the House that they ignored that and it didn’t work this time.
Next time, they will make sure they have every election and office sewed up right down to dog catcher.
You don’t kneed COVID to steal an election as has been happening for decades.
Each was a product of a task. One on purpose, and one discovered later.
The covid was a way to fight Trump and force him to make moves he normally wouldn’t. Few of those were done as he wouldn’t play the game.
The game was to get him out of office. To do that they had to attack his main selling point...the economy he established. There have been many flu’s in the past, to include some recently that killed thousands in the U.S. The CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths “annually” since 2010 in the U.S. World wide in the millions. Yet, no state shut down. The same threat was there. But the up to date count as of this morning by the CDC indicates that of the 19,894,313 cases in the US total , there were 344,963 deaths. Our total population is right at 331M
Now considering that a number of those deaths were not by covid, as has been proven, I will use their numbers for point as it should indicate a worse problem instead of a easier one. Facts are, by their numbers, that 2% of the actual cases cause death and for the population of the US far less than 1% of the population die from covid, almost 1/10 of a percent.
In comparing this to something that takes a lot of lives in the US. In 2019, the last year totaled, there were 38,800 people killed in auto accidents. But there were 4.4 million people going to the hospital for them. So there were, at least 4.4M accidents. That makes it right at 1% of the accidents incur deaths. And this is down from 2017 forward. How come they didn’t shut down the roadways? Simple, they couldn’t blame Trump.
Oh, almost forgot. The second thing was using it to get the elections into the mail so it could be manipulated in a number of ways, and was. This I think was an afterthought that worked like the first attempt.

Covid. It permitted government to use it to steal the election.
It’s the steal. It’s now common knowledge among politicians that they don’t need our votes. They can buy all the votes they need from Dominion, and pay for them with our money. They can inflict mass destruction on us, beyond the destruction of COVID-19, and there is no one to stop them. We are no longer a government of the People, and most of our neighbors don’t care, as long as they get their stimulus checks.
The economics was the greatest “steal” of all. A booming economy, gaining speed all the time, then KABLOOEY! it all blows up, grinding to an almost dead halt while the coffers at every level of government were swiftly emptied out.
That was the real chaos, not the disease, and not all the consequences have been properly evaluated even yet, perhaps not for years to come. C)VID-19 Wuhan virus was only the trigger, and it wasn’t even that much of a threat, only the response to its eruption.
How did “two weeks” of “lockdown” turn into as much as ten months in so many localities?
The vote steal was a separate crime, carried out under the cover of other chaotic events occurring coincidentally.
Before I say this, I want to make clear that I am NOT an anti-vaxer. I am, however, a “do not trust the government” kinda gal.
Initially I was happy about the vaccine.
Then I had time to ponder it.
I’m EXTREMELY WARY of anything the MSM and government tries to PUSH on us. And this looks like something they want to FORCE upon us despite:
*vaccine only provides a couple of months immunity
*authorities say that it would take until next FALL to have everyone vaccinated.
*At the rate things are going, by the time 2 quarters of the population are vaccinated, those in the first round have already lost their immunity.
*members of congress and MSM SHUT DOWN any talk of therapeutics and SMEAR any doctor, no matter how well-credentialed, if they dare talk of therapeutics, particularly HCQ, or more recently, Ivermectin.
*They won’t allow doctors to prescribe Ivermectin, threaten their licenses and say “There isn’t enough data. More clinical trials are needed, yet won’t fund or even allow more trials.”
*MSM says “Ivermectin claims have been debunked” without providing the data to support this.
*Anyone here who does not know what I’m talking about, check this out and read about this team of doctors. I surely trust THEM over any elected official ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!

*Govt wants to FORCE us to get a shot and yet they say the shot only protects the person who gets it, NOT people we come in contact with. They say we could still get and carry the virus.
*What the HELL happened to “my body, my choice”?
I find it bizarre that the LEFT was all up in arms about operation warp speed, telling us NOT to trust a vaccine that was rolled out quickly under Trump. But after it didn’t roll out until after the election, suddenly the vaccine is SO GOOD and we all must be forced to take it! Now the switch has completely flipped. IF the Dems want to force me to take something, I know it must be poison.
Hard call, but I say THE STEAL is the worst!
It has set the county on a dark path of which we won’t likely recover in the lifetimes of those of us here reading this post. In fact, it sets an easy path for future plagues, used to control the populations, behavior and size.
The steal. We have a vaccine against COVID. By this summer its nothing. The steal is the death of the republic and the country.
@40 Hope you are wrong. Wish I could argue you are, but really can’t. Cheers
Perhaps.
I suspect the riots created more support for Trump than he lost.
At best, I think it was a wash for them.
The steal. Communist/Socialist countries kill a hell of alot more of their own citizens than most virus’s do.
The Steal was the worst crisis because it presents an existential threat to the Constitutional republic set up by our founding fathers and the American way of life. If its perpetrators get away with it, The Steal will be the beginning of the transformation of America into a banana republic unless the American people rise up and demand election reform—secure voter ID, no electronic or mail-in ballots and poll watchers to insure a fair count.
As My 1st POST of the Year i will again say that the chicoms and iranians made the chicom plague and spread it Worldwide.
The Steal, by far. COVID will pass (not the least of the reasons being that the easily-manipulated PCR test used improperly to diagnose it will be manipulated again to show the “success” of vaccinations and/or the “wise and heroic” Biden Administration).
But the Steal is forever - the face of our politics will change forever, literally. 20 million or more illegals from Turd World shitholes will be made into citizens and the gates opened for millions more, resulting in Trump being the last Republican President (even without cheating...which will continue and get worse anyway). In point of fact, the in-your-face nature of The Steal was about more than “defeating” Trump, it was about destroying our Republic by destroying any confidence in our electoral system. How many millions (mostly conservative) will refuse to waste their time voting if the people who did this aren’t punished and nothing is done to prevent it from happening again? That this will (or already has) destroyed the Republic means nothing (nothing bad, that is) to the Leftists at all, so long as it advances their lustful dream of absolute power to a reality.
Oh, Covid was used as a tool to effectuate The Steal, but it’s use as a tool proves that it is of far lesser importance than The Steal itself.
2020 was our early 1917 (the overthrow of the old system, equivalent to the abdication of the Czar). 2021 will see our weak equivalent of Kerensky come in and rule for a little while, very badly, and then his replacement with a Communist government. Perhaps we will have until 2022, who knows; but the result is IMHO baked into the cake. After that will be our civil war (and, just like with Russia’s of a century ago, it will include foreign troops on our soil) - let’s hope that the anti-Communist side does better this time around.
Covid? Pffft, a minor footnote to History in 10-20 years. The Steal, and it’s murder of our Republic that has existed for nearly a quarter of a millennium and which protected and expanded freedom around the world for the last century, at least - THAT is the biggest story in several lifetimes, not just 2020.
Covid is temporary. The steal changes everything. Obama said that he wanted to fundamentally change the country ... the Dems are giving it their best shot.
