Those that would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty or safety.

Benjamin Franklin said that. It would seem the virus has precipitated the one more crises necessary to the new world order school of thought perhaps? Many technical developments gear towards a global society.
There's another school of thought comparing Trump to President Hoover and the political machinations surrounding the great depression. Parts are pretty hard to argue with. Should that be the case i wonder what a similar outcome will look like today? Cleared the way for Roosevelt until almost the end of ww2 or thereabouts (he died) and the dems until the 50s.

Its hard to know what to think with all a this fake news y'all have going on! But you almost can't help draw parallels between Hitler, particularly in terms of the power of Joseph Goebbals pen and, though I hate to say it, intellect, and the political tactics of late.
Im still trying to digest what you said, but I did find this interesting while looking at that quote.

As for the virus, I don't know what you define as 'new world order', but what we are witnessing is the 2020 version of what happens when you continue to just toss shit out the window without everyone getting sick. On a global scale.

Breathing in each others air has never been safe. It is a shame that we have been losing about 60,000 people every year in the USA without figuring it out.

We need to start figuring out how to do things slightly different as a species. And like we have every other time throughout human history we will figure this out too. There is no reason not to.

Are you implying Benjamin Franklin would not approve of vaccines? If so, that’s dumb.

GOP Reps. pull support of candidate following comments about Chinese immigrants
California Reps. Young Kim (R) and Michelle Steel (R) revoked their endorsements of Texas congressional candidate Sery Kim (R) after she said she doesn’t want Chinese immigrants “here at all.”

In a statement released Friday and shared with The Hill on Saturday, the lawmakers said they “cannot in good conscience” continue to support Sery Kim, who is running to represent Texas’s 6th Congressional District.

The GOP congresswomen previously endorsed Sery Kim, who is Korean American, in early March.

“As the first Korean American Republican women to serve in Congress, we want to empower and lift up fellow members of the AAPI [Asian American and Pacific Island] community who want to serve their communities,” the lawmakers wrote.

The lawmakers said they urged Sery Kim to apologize but noted that her words “were contrary to what we stand for.”

“I don’t want them here at all,” Sery Kim said. “They steal our intellectual property. They give us coronavirus. They don’t hold themselves accountable.”

After the audience applauded her remarks, Sery Kim followed by saying, “Quite frankly, I can say that because I’m Korean.”

After everything that Trump said and did, including cozying up to the Klan. After Trump blamed China and accused them of biological warfare. After being hunted by murderers on Jan 6. Still they stuck with the Party line until somebody said "I don't want them here at all". Then they reacted. They reacted when the threats were directed specifically against them. Republicans are always surprised when the leopard eats their face.

Pew finds sharp decline in Republican support for making voting easy (yahoo.com)

Pew finds sharp decline in Republican support for making voting easy
The share of Republicans who say "everything possible" should be done to make voting easy has declined since 2018, according to a Pew survey published this week.

Why it matters: State legislatures have introduced at least 361 voter restriction bills this year, according to an analysis by the Brennan Center for Justice. Voting rights advocates say many of the bills, if passed, will disproportionately affect voters of color, as well as those with disabilities.
By the numbers:
On making voting easier:

  • 59% of U.S. adults say everything possible should be done to make it easy for every citizen to vote, while 39% say citizens should have to prove they want to vote by registering ahead of time.
  • 85% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independents say everything possible should be done to make it easy for every citizen to vote, while 14% say citizens should have to prove they really want to vote by registering ahead of time.
  • 28% of Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents say everything possible should be done to make it easy for all citizens to vote, while 71% say American citizens should prove they really want to vote by registering ahead of time.
  • "While 84% of Black adults and 69% of Hispanic adults say everything possible should be done to make it easy to vote, only about half of white adults say the same," Pew wrote.
On election security:
  • 61% of U.S. adults say it would not make elections less secure if election rules were changed to make it easier to register and vote.
  • 82% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independents say the same.
  • 37% of Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents say the same.
Flashback: The most dramatic shift from 2018 was among Republicans, according to Pew.
  • Before the 2018 mid-term elections, 48% of Republicans said everything possible should be done to make it easy to vote, while 51% said citizens should have to prove they really want to vote by registering ahead of time.

. . . . . . . After the audience applauded her remarks, Sery Kim followed by saying, “Quite frankly, I can say that because I’m Korean.”
Asians prejudge other Asians. Since WWII most of them hate Japan, but there is plenty of hate to go around.

Very true. That being said Japan and her empirical aspirations killed more people in Asia during the '30s than were to die globally in the entirety of ww2. There are deeply entrenched reasons. I have heard of restaurants in northern China making Japanese apologize before they'll serve them. I don't know if thats true or not but it would certainly be understandable.

Iowa governor signs bill allowing permitless purchase, carry of handguns
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) on Friday signed a bill that allows people to purchase and carry handguns in the state without a permit.

“Today I signed legislation that protects the 2nd Amendment rights of Iowa’s law-abiding citizens while still preventing the sale of firearms to criminals and other dangerous individuals,” Reynolds wrote in a statement.

“We will never be able to outlaw or prevent every single bad actor from getting a gun, but what we can do is ensure law-abiding citizens have full access to their constitutional rights while keeping Iowans safe,” she added.

The bill makes it optional for Iowans to obtain handgun carry permits and go through background checks when purchasing firearms through unlicensed sales, including websites and gun shows, The Associated Press reported.

In addition, Iowans who do not have a permit or go through safety training will be permitted to carry a gun into public places, including grocery stores and malls, according to The Associated Press.

Well, he's sort of showboating.

First off, you don't have to have a permit to purchase a handgun in Iowa. You also only need a permit to carry in incorporated areas. (Mainly major cities).

Basically, the only thing he's changing is the requirement to have a permit to open carry in incorporated areas.

CAN'T MAKE THIS UP: With 45 minutes left in the legislative session, Ga. Republicans are considering adding a bill to tax Delta in retaliation for company speaking out today against the voter suppression bill.
it would be a shame if Delta reduced flights to the Atlanta hub- it would basically paralyze the city.

"On December 17, 2020, Gallup polling found that 31% of Americans identified as Democrats, 25% identified as Republican, and 41% as Independent".
Political party strength in U.S. states - Wikipedia
Lets see 60% of republicans who make up 25%, let's be generous and say 15%, so fuck them if they want to believe bullshit and be suckers. DO NOT PANDER TO THEM, they are fools, traitors, seditionists and suckers, they are also on the wrong side of history. Sometimes the media makes this bunch appear larger than it really is, but they are big enough to be dangerous. It's the self described independents (41%) who are shifting, the half of them who are actually republicans, but ashamed of the fact.

Over Half Of Republicans Believe Election Was Stolen From Trump: Poll

A majority of Republican voters believe the election was stolen from former President Trump, according to new numbers from Ipsos/Reuters.

Of course it was stolen, the Democrats played by the rules. The Democratic vote was not kneecapped enough. Coming to a State near you, "We will fix that."
