MSN ^ | 5/31 | Dana Blanton

Posted on 06/01/2023 1:01:57 PM PDT by nickcarraway

While a majority of voters believes the coronavirus pandemic is in check, over half say it has changed us forever.

The latest Fox News survey finds 57% think the virus has permanently changed how we live in the United States. That’s up from 50% in 2022 and 2021.

Another 33% feel things have changed temporarily, while 9% think things haven’t really changed at all.

Stolen elections do have consequences.

I think it mostly revealed us.

How sheepish most have become. The communist Dems all so willingly, and the rest of us simply because we are naturally peaceable and want to get along.

This goes beyond the election. It was the shutdown (which was declared by Trump, btw, after he handed his presidency over to Fauci) that did it.

I read one study that said that people’s memories were permanently affected by this paralysis of society and relationships, and they actually have a gap in continuity that they can’t really fill in. Another study that pointed out the IQ drop and permanent social damage and alienation caused by what was for many people house arrest for nearly two years.

Bit by bit, the truth is coming out.

It ushered in work from home.

That is causing a crisis and soon a collapse in commercial real estate.

That will also cause a collapse in the most expensive Blue cities - San Francisco and NYC. Others will follow.

Permanently crippled US by installing a president thru a stolen election and hurt our youth be cause of schooling restriction. Xi knows how to conquer the entire planet. His Covid weapon outweighs the bombs dropped on Japan in its devastation.

duh. It closed down “non essential” businesses, struck fear in the hearts of the already skittish, people died from lack of medical attention, suicide and WITH Covid, it raised prices on everything we buy, it changed buying habits so Amazon reaped the benefits, it destroyed landlords across the country with their BS “moratorium” on rent, commercial properties are in trouble as more and more work from home...

A lot of this is self-inflicted. What still floors me is the number of people who craved safety at any cost during a “pandemic” at had a fatality rate of maybe 0.1%. The Marxists among us certainly took full advantage of it.

A lot of people have learned, but a lot have not.

The sequence is the other way. The Democrats conspired with RINOs to steal the election of 2020 to force productive red states to bail out failed blue states that have no way of ever returning to solvency.

The decline has been since the 1940s. You can look up the census numbers in particular for all these blue cities that were already in decline prior to WW2 but got an infusion of funding for WW2 only to go into accelerated decline afterwards.

Large numbers of people showed themselves to be outright Fascists.

Logic, reason, and sanity were outright attacked.

The government, medical, and propaganda industries showed their true selves and completely untrustworthy.

The harm done to children’s development will continue to show itself for decades. Once the windows for a lot of things go past, they’re gone for good.

And nobody has been held accountable. For any of it. Terror is an underutilized weapon. The only reason that the politicians, police and bureaucrats were allowed to do it was that they have no fear of lengthy prison terms or execution by a tribunal. That is a serious problem.

DO NOT FORGET what they’ve done to you.
Do not let their sudden realization they are in bad shape politically excuse the last two-plus years of abuses.
They shut down your job.
Called many of you “non-essential.”
Closed your kids’ schools.
Expected you to live off $1200 for months while they got richer and richer.
Denied you the ability to be with your dying loved ones.
Then denied you the ability to give those loved ones a proper funeral.
While they let George Floyd have three.
While they went on vacation.
Visited family.
The hair salon.
They arrested you for paddle boarding by yourself.
They shut down the parks and the playgrounds.
They called you a grandma killer if you questioned them.
Suspended you from social media if you didn’t obey the narrative.

They called you domestic terrorists when you demanded your kids get the education your tax dollars paid for.
They mocked you when you demanded a return to normalcy for children.
They sneer at your concern over empty shelves and exploding grocery and utility bills.
They messed with supply chains and emptied store shelves, while the elites partied on yachts and Martha’s Vineyard.
They queered women’s sports and the military, and made the citizenry pay for it.
They sexualized schoolchildren, and persecuted parents at school board meetings.
They denied you the chance to try alternative treatments for COVID.
Then they fired you for not getting the vaccine.
When you stand up for your freedom, they call you Nazis and bigots.

Do not forget what they have done.
Do not forgive them.
They are hoping that, by November, you have forgotten the nightmareof the last 2+ years.
YOU struggle to make ends meet and the best the Biden administration can do is free crack pipes for “racial equity.”
This is on top of the woke, cancel culture bull they shove down our throats, the 2020 riots, being accused of racism and bigotry because we oppose their agenda.
As the election draws closer, they’ll pretend they didn’t do any of this.
They’ll gaslight us.
Project.
Blame the GOP (like they tried to when defunding the police went south).

DO NOT give them power.
They haven’t learned a damn thing from this.
You re-elect them, and you can expect masks and lockdowns and nonsense in perpetuity.
Not just for COVID, but for whatever else they deem a “public health emergency” (guns, climate change).
(Remember, they are the very same people who ignore a pubic health emergency aka AIDS.)
They will trample your rights.
VOTE THEM OUT.

NEVER FORGET.

REMEMBER…..every NOVEMBER!

I think that California, New York and Massachusetts, pay more in Federal taxes than all red states combined unless you remove Texas and Florida. I don’t know it for sure, but those are relatively wealthy states with high populations.

The Left has distorted the argument that red states collect more from the Federal government than they pay in, using it as a justification to send more tax money to socialists. The truth is that medicare and social security in particular are paid out more to red states because taxpayers retire there in greater numbers than blue states.
