Democrats and “the experts” are talking, once again, like they’re interested in getting back to “normal” — or some “degree” of it! — because it’s an election year and they don’t want to see their power in Congress and in governors’ mansions completely wiped out come November. But don’t forget that they always have keys in their back pockets to bring back the miserable masks and their beloved social restrictions and mandates.
They’re called “new variants” and “waning immunity.”
It’s not like we haven’t seen these people pretend to care about getting past the pandemic before. They’ve always done it, usually by starting a sentence with something like, “We all yearn for normalcy…” followed by an infinite number of reasons why we still need to keep public schools shut and avoid anything resembling fun. (See teachers’ union head Randi Weingarten on Sunday.)
When it first started two years ago they insisted that if we had national “contact tracing” and on-demand “testing” we would be in good shape.
Not so fast! Neither tracing nor testing serves to “slow the spread” after all. Try more restaurant closures and “remote learning.” Also a mask.
Then it was vaccines that would deliver us to normalcy.
Hold it! Not enough people want it so we’re gonna need more welfare money to get “Folks” to “Stay Home.” By the way, don’t forget your mask!
Between the Trump administration and the new Biden one, all of that was achieved.
Oops! New variant! Delta! Omicron! Waning immunity! Gonna need you to put that mask back on, ma’am.
We were told a “booster” would do the trick. Actually, make it two. Twenty-four months later, the endless hoops have earned us on-again, off-again mask mandates in our biggest cities, home quarantines for students, and continued, cumbersome restrictions on international travel.
Their excuse: A new, more contagious, more severe “variant” of the coronavirus is always around the corner. Or maybe it’s a complicating factor that risks overwhelming our hospital system. Furthermore, the existing vaccines you’ve been told to pump into your body may not work on what comes next. Better that you Stay Home, wear a mask, and avoid “non-essential” travel, ie. visiting your grandparents or other family and friends. (Mind you, the people telling you what you should be doing are doing the exact opposite— because they’re the exception.)
If you haven’t noticed the pattern, here’s from a CNN report on Tuesday:
After the Omicron coronavirus variant made a record number of US children sick in January, children’s hospitals across the United States braced for what has come with every other spike in the Covid-19 pandemic: cases of a rare but dangerous condition called multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, commonly known as MIS-C. But a number of hospitals say the expected surge in cases hasn’t showed up – at least not yet.
There’s always a reason to pressure the public to remain in a panic and give Democrats, plus “the experts,” a reason to re-tighten the noose. It just so happens that the politics of the midterm election have inspired the people in charge to take a pause. President Biden’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky said last week (surely after careful consideration of “The Science”) that Americans have earned a treat. “We want to give people a break from things like mask-wearing when these [Covid hospitalization] metrics are better,” she said, “and then have the ability to reach for them again should things worsen.”
Ah, yes. The omnipresent threat of a “new variant” and “waning immunity.” So long as the same people remain in control, it will never change.
We the people will call BS. Just like in Virginia.
Midterms, nothing! How this different from any other day with a vowel in the name?
They’ll also use their war on Russia over corrupt Ukraine.
Expect: “It’s the Russians who are causing your skyrocketing energy costs, empty shelves, and inflation. We need to sacrifice to save the world.”
.
They absolutely need a reason to keep Joe home and limit debates again - for 2024.
That Campaign starts early in 2023.
They could absolutely dump Biden, but Kamala is not smart and that’s kind of leaked into the public sphere.
Prolonging the Plannedemic Puritanism appears to be the REAL goal.
If a third Thanksgiving, a third Christmas, a fourth Easter, and a fourth Independence Day can be squelched through fearmongering (if not outright government oppression) it may not be much longer before people will not only not wish to return to pre-Plannedemic celebrations, but will actually begin to lose the memory of what such celebrations were like.
This is the CCP’s global “Cultural Revolution”.
RESIST!
TRUCK Brandon!!!
They won’t have any power. Biden will try, but the House and
Senate will cut everything off at the knees.
We hope. With Mitch in there heaven only knows.
Headline 2079:
Mitch McConnell announced he will stand for re-election after
his head transplant last month.
It’s the Russians who committed the cyber attack.
“We need to sacrifice to save the world” has always been these cretins’ rallying cry.
They DO believe the "president" the Democrats obviously stole the election for is completely senile, and that the media is presenting us with a series of constant, never-ending, ridiculous distractions to attempt to cover that up.
You can see this coming like an 18-wheeler with quadruple fog lamps bearing down on you. CV-19 gave every jerkball politician tacit permission to leapfrog over literally any law they wish. They’re not gonna give that up.
After a while, it gets old, and most people won’t fall for it.
IMO, about 70% of people are sick of lockdowns and masks.
Federalist making the assumption that the DEMs will be relevant enough to continue to play the power grab pandemic scare and control game?
They need to Spiro Kamala out of her job and replace her with another acceptably diverse Marxist. Then Brandon can resign due to health problems early enough to train the American idiots to like her.
“It’s for the children.” is always a sure-fire winner. It plays into women’s instinctive nature.
Another reason why women’s suffrage was a mistake.
People, even a growing number of liberals, are done with all this, moving on. Unless they show a variant has a serious excess death situation, no way three years and counting in after the midterms people are gonna submit to more lockdowns, which don’t work anyways, and draconian measures.
“the children”
And yet so many of them are Pro-Abortion, and vote that way.
Sad to say, without the woman’s vote there wouldn’t be Democrat presidencies. Not so much the white married woman’s vote, but the white single woman vote and the married woman vote of every other race, though there might be movement underway among Hispanic female voters.
