“COVID didn’t crush the economy. Government did.”
Exactly.
And the Democrats, if not not far too many Republicans as well, did it intentionally for growing the power of government is ultimately their thing.
Having nothing to offer than fear itself to a the most wussified of Americans in all American history is, after all, rather handy if your goal is the accumulation of power.
The corona virus and the covid didn't cause this pandemic of economic destruction and pandering.
The government did all the damage. Not by accident. But by design.
Government didn’t just use COVID as an excuse to crush the US economy.
It also destroyed US society: every facet of work, school, and leisure have been affected. At least half of the population is mentally ill and/or utterly dependent upon the government.
