Can't see that happening. I've seen a bunch of people even from church following along like good little subjects. Usually to such an extent that they get upset if someone isn't following the rules.

Sadly, I don't think we'll see wide spread resistance against this idiocy until people start being impacted severely.

How much more severely can they get impacted?

I don't know what else needs to happen. It's been so bad already. Loss of income, lost jobs, businesses shut down, the economy destroyed, increase in mental health issues, people forced to quarantine with domestic abusers... when will people start waking up? All because they were brainwashed into being afraid of the common cold.

If Fauci telling people they will need to Social Distance even after a vaccine doesn't wake people the hell up, nothing will

The Great Reset, big ideas like that always lead to revolution, global unrest and civil wars

Oh, they're on this too. Saw a tweet the other day where some lefty clown was spitballing a new tax on people who work from home.

Imagine being so fucked in the head that you sit around dreaming up new ways to confiscate people's money.

They'll feel that when their managers/owners realize that if they have to pay a salary to an employee that works from home 24/7, they may as well shop around on the open market for cheaper labor. When you telecommute, what's difference if you're in the same city, or county, or state, or... country. What's that? Is that India on the phone, offering a lower bid than Malaysia? Why hire american's at all? Think about it.

Yeah, that’s already a thing. Now it is even displacing American radiologists. Hospitals can just send images abroad.

Look at the Great Depression. It'll probably have to be something like that, but I know Trump wouldn't let it get that bad. Just avoid it altogether and tackle the thing driving the hysteria in the first place: the media

Churches and businesses have to comply or lose their designations and licenses. Everyone should be protesting though especially those that don’t work. There won’t be stimulus checks till next year.

Why aren't they filing class action lawsuits for violations against the constitution?

Still, they should stay open and let then sue if any fines are imposed.

Restaurants here in St. Louis County are filing a lawsuit against new lockdown orders coming into effect Tuesday. Hope to be back open by Friday with an injunction against the county exec.

I just wish our Governor would call out these health care scaremongers by name and shift the blame to them. They had 6 months to prepare for this and their solution was to lay off nurses and cut the number of beds because no one was having elective procedures done.

Need to do what this lady did and sue council and other government for treason... https://themarshallreport.wordpress.com/2020/09/03/palm-beach-county-sued-for-treason-no-to-mask-mandates/

I haven't been able to eat at a restaurant in the county or city because of their idiotic mask requirement. Guess St Charles, Jefferson, & Franklin counties are really enjoying the increase in tax revenue, every weekend I go out to those counties and get a semi-normal restaurant experience. Hell, I even went over to the metro east last week when it was 70 degrees out, had to eat outside but I didn't even need a mask.

Chief SCOTUS Cuck Roberts ruled that freedom to attend church is not protected by the Constitution, and that church is basically on par with a sporting event or any other social gathering.

Roberts is a traitor but only one judge. New addition of ACB changes the composition and future rulings.

I've heard from people a few times over the years about churches in communist countries, where some have to be so careful to stay under the radar. It's feeling more and more like that is coming here (if Bribehim has his way). Churches that have buildings and tax status could be punished, but even churches without their own building could find themselves targeted if they violate orders. It's easy to say they should just stand up, but if members of the church are targeted with heavy fines or investigations, not all members can afford to pay those unjust fines.

Churches are major threats to communists because it’s a group of people that can organize against the communists. Their whole m.o. is to have a country full of people with no connections to one another all fighting for scraps so they can’t organize against a common enemy communism.

Not so easy to remove a Church's tax exempt status. It is federal law, and state law in just about every state. In most cases they are not given preferential treatment over other non-profits, the exemption is typically for all non-profits equally

This is why churches should be trying to go completely cashless and reach their congregations through technology and come up with a system to socialize without needing a building. Making a deal for tax exempt status with the government was the worst deal the church ever made.

It already exists, it is called zoom. People socialize in breakout rooms after the service.

Yeah, for the low low price of CCP data collection. I wonder how confessions and gossip over Zoom would go...

Its the exact same ideology the nazi party had in Germany in the 1930's. Very dangerous. Trump needs to indict the traitors asap

People follow along because they have been conditioned from elementary school with group work and group projects. They are “The Borg.”

Yep, and look what's happened to their leadership. They're corrupt, they let the power go to their heads, etc.

Ironic you brought up megachurches, too. Our pastor was just talking about their almost universal fall. Power and money can corrupt. Doesn't matter who you are.

And I think your more subtle point about the steady shift of the church politics generally to the left is very astute. Dangerous territory.
