Baloney. On the whole, nobody cares.

A lot of people are rushing out to get the experimental jab that the “experts” say is pretty much mandatory.

Of course, a lot of us are avoiding that whole thing.

But something like 60% of Americans trust the experts enough to take the jab. I find that very depressing. I’m expecting a population crash because I think the vaccine is worse than COVID. Too much trust in experts.

Didn’t have a lot to start with.
This plague (and the so-called election) just proved how right I’ve been despite being called a “defeatist” and “doom and gloomer” here at FR.

A (continued) population cleansing in Rat cities and states will be most welcome. Only concern is that it might take another 5-10 years to play out and it’s doubtful America has that much time left on the clock.

Not a chance. Even after the climate change consensus, I keep hearing calls for science and evidence.
Science is the interpretation of evidence. Excluding and massaging evidence. Think of them more as lawyers than anything else. For grant money, they will prove whatever you want them to.

Baloney. On the whole, nobody cares.

Firearm sales, people fleeing blue states, decline in Propaganda Media viewership, etc. all point to a lot who care.

“The Biden administration has recently called for a 90-day intelligence community review into the origins of the pandemic, which is welcome news for those of us who have called COVID-19 a “Chinese Chernobyl”“

Anyway ...you were saying something about our faith in ruling experts being destroyed? So F-Troop and the CIA are gonna government-splain what happened?

They were not experts on keeping us safe

They never talked to us about a cure. That’s all anyone needs to know. They had different motives than bio weapons containment

They talked down a cure whe pres Trump talked it up

There’s no loss in trust in experts here.

I doubt those trusted “ruling class experts” much in the first place.

Not true.

It has destroyed my faith in many, many of the governmental agencies and the scientific and medical profession.

Sorry

Oh I trust the 'ruling class' 100%. I 'trust' that anything that they touch will be screwed up. Trump was the rare exception and is why he was a breath of fresh air. How could anyone possibly trust anything to demons like Obama, Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer? And don't forget who the geniuses are who give guidance and support to these demons: Cortez, Shiff, Nadler, Omar, et al. And also don't forget that the clowns providing oversight on this crew were crooked sumbitches like Comey, Brennen, Clapper, et al.

I just pray that this country doesn't get into a shooting war with this crowd in charge because the USA will lose. Midnight basketball anyone?

All IMHO of course.

For me, the vietnam war did it. That’s why I didn’t trust them regarding covid 19. And everything I believed at the beginning is turning out to be true, and becoming the current “news”.

I don’t watch TV and get my news from various internet sources. From day one ALL of my believes that I established within two months of this becoming a story stood the test of time, while those that followed what they were being told by the MSM and PSA’s turned out to be duped.

We all eventually learn that they can’t be trusted and we need to learn for ourselves. With my generation it was Vietnam. There have been other examples ever since. For this generation it was the virus.

And yes, the change is “forever”.

America has always had elitists. For example, Alexander Hamilton was an insufferable prick who believed that our nation should be run by a few well-educated specialists in Government.

However, at least Hamilton was a loyal patriot, a faithful deputy to George Washington, a fearless leader who led the attack on two British redoubts that sealed the victory at Yorktown, and also managed to stabilize the American currency and make it a viable exchange.

Today's "elitists" are a bunch of inbred retards.

“Baloney. On the whole, nobody cares.”

You’re wrong about that.

As an ex NJ citizen of some 50+ years I have many friends and acquaintances. We speak often enough and exchange emails and although anecdotal I can say there is a universal feeling of being let down and used by the Government with this be especially true among those on the Left.

I can’t say what they will do or not do in the future should another “crises” like this materialize but it is pretty clear from their reactions to the news now emerging they they angry and feel used by what they believe now are political motives for the many inconveniences they had to suffer.
