With the 'proper' evil assclowns in place, it could happen. Especially with the reports of how much the environment has "improved" in just a few days/weeks since the curtailing of human activity. Time to go let the hemi idle in the driveway for a couple hours. That is if some evil eco drone isn't monitoring me. :-)

Especially with a Dem majority in the next presidential election.

This is actually a pretty good demonstration of what would happen if the Dems had their way on climate change.

“Prager Issues Warning: If We Can Shut Down America for COVID-19, Dems Can Shut It Down for Climate Change”

Only if they win the House, Senate and White House which they will not do in 2020...oh wait, I forgot about voter fraud.

Most Americans will not follow any “lockdown”, or however you want to phrase it, over “climate change”. This virus is immediate and most would rather not gamble with their lives.

No doubt many who crave handouts in lieu of actually having to work for a living will happily do as they're told. These are your typical democrat voters.

What a stupid article - oh yeah - I see its by that pompous slob Dennis. I was hoping he is using this time to clean his filthy house, but no he’s coming up with wonderful premises authored above.

It’s not just having the “proper assclowns” in place, but the number of people willing to place and allow them to remain there. And that number is inclusive of a large number of “situational socialists” who before this crisis considered themselves rock-ribbed conservatives until the potential of helicopter money arose.

Actually, I doubt this premise. The left has been trying to fearmonger about climate change for years, but they are fighting against the reality that most people recognize that a changing climate is an intrinsic property of the earth.

On the other hand, a killer cold virus is an unusual event that is serious right now, but will pass as long as we take the proper measures.

We have gone through plenty of periods in the past where we’ve had to hunker down in the face of a threat, and we came through them without any lasting effects on liberty. That’s because most people recognize that a real threat must be eliminated and life will return to normal. WWII, the 1917-1919 pandemic, the polio epidemic of the 1950s, etc., are examples of threats that caused us to willingly restrict our activities.

The only real threat to freedom is creeping socialism. Anthropogenic climate change is nothing more than a tool to advance socialism.

I don't think so.

People are afraid of dying or losing loved ones from an un-treatable virus. That is a genuine fear.

They are not personally afraid of Climate Change. Their is no real danger from Climate Change and they people know that in their guts.

Climate change is not contagious and American citizens own more guns than there are American Citizens. We will put up this crap for a season because we are sailing through uncharted waters. A shutdown over something that might happen in 50 years? No ,we will not put up with that.

I’ve predicted that, as soon as we see all the legal precedents put in place and test operations of restricting the people in every possible way, the virus crisis will quickly and almost miraculously subside.

"Prager Issues Warning: If We Can Shut Down America for COVID-19, Dems Can Shut It Down for Climate Change"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Hypothetically speaking, politically correct global warming might actually be the remedy for real Coronavirus.

Insights welcome.

MAGA, also KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.
