Pissed off by what is going on? I know I am. And I am going to remember who is screwing with us. If you feel strongly that Trump is at fault, vote him out. If, on the other hand, you think the Dem-Socs are taking advantage of the situation and want to put as much misery out here while blaming Trump for their actions, then get out and
VOTE.
Personally, I'm tired of sitting around doing nothing because the governor is "protecting" us from a virus that is proving to be less deadly than your average, yearly flu. The guy is a "maroon" (apologies to Bugs Bunny) and should be replaced at the earliest opportunity. The Dem-Socs mantra? "Never let a good crisis go to waste." If you want more government control over your lives, then by all means, vote for them. If not, throw the bums out.
Sadly, I also subscribe to the thinking that there isn't a dimes worth of difference between the two parties, but that may be changing. It is my hope that one of the parties will change and actually pay attention to their constituents instead of getting into office and lining their own pockets and the pockets of their friends and relatives!
I'm curious... pretty much every state is on some form of social distancing orders... so are most countries. A good portion of these states/countries aren't led by Dems. Hell, Trump issued a national emergency and agreed with distancing... last I checked he's a Republican, so are all these Republicans trying to control you to? Or was this thing actually serious and people used common sense?
If you're claiming social distancing is the creation of Dems, whose pockets are they lining by keeping businesses closed?
There's a reason Trump is trying to open the economy back up... he's getting pressured by rich CEO's and his Wall Street pals who, despite being absolutely loaded already, wan't to continue making their billions at the expense of people's health. You think these people are Dems?
Even then, the stimulus is a joke... why? Because despite the Dems best efforts to assist the public, Republicans struck down attempts at guaranteeing health care for laid off employees through all of this... Republicans struck down measures to give student load relief to young Americans who are getting laid off far more than any other age group. Why? Because they know their rich buddies will have none of it... All the stimulus has done is once again bailed out billionaires at the expense of average Americans. Again, you think these rich people are Dems?
It's funny... all the rich folks who have benefited by an economy with a record stock prices and low taxes run for the hills with their cash... they engage in record stock buybacks and fire everyone low on the totem pole at their company... just so they can preserve a few million while the have-nots go hungry.
I'm not sure why you're so scared of the government.
I happen to think this thing was probably pretty dangerous, and I'm happy the government took the steps it took to curb this thing and hopefully get us on a path back to health.
And to your last post... Trump called CV a Hoax at a rally in South Carolina in Feb. 28... doesn't get more transparent than that. He then backtracked after he found out Americans were dying and of course, like he always does, says that those who were listening didn't understand what he was saying and that the Hoax was now the Dems trying to say he didn't handle it well.
Why even use the word hoax in the same sentence as CV... or right, because he's either an idiot or he knows his base in SC are idiots who when they hear that buzzword will get riled up.
