Feeling despondent... What can we do?

Fire Fauci.

[RandFan]

RETIRE Fauci should be an election slogan for the GOP in the mid-terms.

We need to make it one.

Good idea.

Don’t take Harry Reid’s passing so hard.

#1 Don't watch tv. It's depressing.
#2 Listen to music or meditate.
#3 Improve your mind by watching self help videos on YT such as cooking, car repair and any other interest you might have.
#4 Light reading such as . . I can't remember the name of it but it was something like The MonkeyWrench Gang. I don't remember much about it but a long time ago it seemed humorous.

President Trump HAS come out against mandates.

Take heart amid the deepening gloom that your dog is finally getting enough cheese.

There are things we can do: 1) realize nothing is happening outside of God’s plan, 2) that we cannot control what happens and 3) the majority of people are being deceived, cannot see the truth and will deny the truth to the end. But we can hold on to and trust God. We know it will only get worst to our humane eyes.

[RandFan]

I know he has but why doesn’t he come out more forcefully?

Just a suggestion but I think he needs to talk up his opposition to mandates MORE and contrast his position with the administration ...

Learn about stoicism and start putting it to work in your life.

Seriously, my advice to you is to walk away from ALL news and media, TV, internet, facebook, twitter, etc. (including Free Rebublic) for 24 hours and re-evaluate things.

[Trillian]

There are way more of us than there are of them. They want us demoralized. Continue to fight against them any way you can.

[RandFan]

I already did over Christmas... 😂

[Rowdyone]

Guess you haven’t been reading much over the holidays. Trump is pro vaccine if you want it and very much opposed to mandates. Given the legacy media’s blackout on all things Trump says you really have to look hard.

Learn about stoicism and start putting it to work in your life.

Stoicism? That's a new one on me. Anything like ecstasy? Heroin? Anyway, stay away from fetanyl. That's a killer.

[Repeal The 17th]

“I already did”
The try 48 hours.

[LibertyWoman]

For me, the most disturbing, depressing and disgusting thing about this entire covid crap is how fast Americans caved to the utter b.s. It’s been shocking to watch. There was a time when the majority of Americans would stand together against this type of crap or any kind of ‘government’ infringement.

Every Republican I know has come out agaisnt mandates.

Most Republicans, including Rand Paul, Trump, and DeSantis are in favor of you getting a vaccine if you’re old or fat or otherwise at risk. (And haven’t picked up natural immunity.)

If you decide to stay unvaccinated and are “at risk”, then just hang tight and you might get a mild Omnicron and be fine in a day or two (but watch your pulseox!).

The whole thing will blow over eventually.

My two cents, that half of FR will oppose. :)

[drSteve78]

Only read some Free Republic for headlines.

And ignore everyone and everything else. Drink some tea. Calm.

This has cost Trump dearly with conservatives. It’s obvious the vaxx does not work. It’s also obvious the vaxx has very serious, even deadly side effects. It’s also true that we have no idea how these side effects will play out over the next three years. The vaxx will be a millstone around Trump’s neck. Some Republican looking to run in ‘24 needs to call Trump out on this.
