Yankee checking in, there are literally dozens of us patriots! The rest moving down here are bringing shitty policy positions with them. Don’t be fooled, it’s by design. Before the wuflu it was socialist economic policy forcing people south, now they’ll be the only open states where you can find work.
And then they’re shocked and blame something else when it fucking happens. IMHO, one of the best things Clinton did was drop massive federal funding on cities to try to stop them from being shitholes. Guys like Giuliani and Daley jammed a boot in criminal ass and NYC and Chicago became pretty decent places. Not great, but not absolute shitholes. Within a matter of a few months, years of bipartisan good deeds have been undone and those places will revert to absolute shitstains on humanity.
My first visit to NYC was pre-Giuliani.
Filthy, everything stunk, all my family members were robbed.
My next visit was after Giuliani began implementing his methods. Astonishing difference, Manhattan was like Disney World. I walked from the SW financial district uptown to C.Park, took a nap on the lawn and nobody bothered me!
Last year I visited all 5 boroughs, was surprised how much prices had gone up, nearly $20 simply to drive across the bridge for Staten Island. How NYers keep voting for De Blasio, Schumer and AOC is grisly.
Nah, fed money actually helped build the police forces these asswipes want to destroy. You’re right that plenty of it went to politburos in smoky backroom deals, though.
Lists like that should be taken with a grain of salt. I would put DC at number 2 from my travel experiences. I don't have much knowledge of NC outside of visiting family in Charlotte and doing contracting at Fort Bragg for a week or two.
Still never worn a mask- rural living is the only life— especially now—-even went and picked up daughter and 2 grandkids went to Home Depot bought heavy stuff (no masks) had kids unload heavy stuff- hung out / worked / sweated/ got Taco Bell— ate at picnic table in community park ( only because their dogs are a pain around food— bird dogs)
Pretty much normal life except seeing all the people with sweaty masks mostly below their noses
are you a paid political guy? because that sounds like something a paid political guy would say. Not trying to start shit, just calling a duck a duck :)
I dont know man, maybe you're right. Maybe the only way this doesn't end badly is if we win the election....and in that case the only thing we really can do to help our chances is, like you said, get the middle and increase turnout.
I've been with T_D since 2016. I don't see how that sounds like 'a paid political guy.' It's the freaking truth. (And I'm not even a guy, pal.)
I'm frustrated because I sense that too many people are getting apathetic. We do NOT have this in the bag. Plenty of people hate AOC and she had a solid opponent, but enough of the zombies turned up to push her through easily.
These entrenched politicians make me sick. She's a mini-Maxine Waters and (in her own way) a new Pelosi. And she'll be there until she dies. We desperately need term limits for these turds.
We need to fight like hell and not relent until we cross the finish line.
It's the Raleigh, charlotte, Durham areas. It's the whole "vote blue no matter who". Some are waking up to the nonsense but I dont know if that's enough to counter the voter fraud coming out of mecklenburg county.
True, but after all this, in the liberal enclave on the coast of NC (can probably guess accurately where I’m at), Trump supporters are a dime a dozen, but there’s still a big “woke” crowd of people my age and younger. Thing is, I hang out with a lot of them, probably 80% simply don’t vote despite their opinion of things. So that’s good, there will be massive fraud, no doubt, but as of now I still believe Trump takes NC.
Oh yeah Roy Cooper also cost small biz who’d been closed for months an estimated $53 million by kicking the RNC Convention out of Charlotte. Nobody’s really made a huge deal out of it, but it happened and I won’t forget. DNC was there in CTL back during Obama, I think 2012 maybe 08 idk, but if I were a biz owner in that area, I’d still be fully supportive of them the ping the convention. Almost like he was proud to cost people $ and w/ COVID many people’s livelihood.
stay strong nc bro. we are everywhere but silent. because we are the ones who have much to loose. votes matter. taxes matter. we have that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHJvemvhWKE
Not the 'Affirmative action' name. now read carefully the part of state constitution this removes
(a) The State shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.
(b) This section shall apply only to action taken after the section's effective date.
(c) Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as prohibiting bona fide qualifications based on sex which are reasonably necessary to the normal operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.
(d) Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as invalidating any court order or consent decree which is in force as of the effective date of this section.
(e) Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as prohibiting action which must be taken to establish or maintain eligibility for any federal program, where ineligibility would result in a loss of federal funds to the State.
(f) For the purposes of this section, "State" shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, the State itself, any city, county, city and county, public university system, including the University of California, community college district, school district, special district, or any other political subdivision or governmental instrumentality of or within the State.
(g) The remedies available for violations of this section shall be the same, regardless of the injured party's race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin, as are otherwise available for violations of then-existing California antidiscrimination law.
(h) This section shall be self-executing. If any part or parts of this section are found to be in conflict with federal law or the United States Constitution, the section shall be implemented to the maximum extent that federal law and the United States Constitution permit. Any provision held invalid shall be severable from the remaining portions of this section.[2]
Tl,Dr - i think that it now may be legal in California to decide hiring in education based on all those protected classes?
I am not sure if someone could still protect themselves from discrimination like that using federal law - I don't know very well why they have these seemingly overlapping laws at both state and federal level, but I am thinking probably not just for shits and giggles.
If you meant as when this was in place - maybe. Don't States get to decide their own rules for things like education?
Now it's all gone, including that last section.
I don't know why in US States even have their own constitutions that seem to cover the same thing the federal laws does. However it's just a weird thing to strike down now. And they are not claiming it was redundant or anything - all the MSM is saying this section prevent 'affirmative action'. But they could have added a clause that allows affirmative action, instead they just removed that whole thing.
Well, considering that affirmative action is, by definition, discrimination based on race, then repealing their equal protection clause would be 'pro-affirmative action', right?
They don't want equality. They want punishment for perceived 'crimes'.
Mayor of Asheville is a hypocrite tryant as well. She kept Asheville locked down, gyms and such while her teenage son went to a wrestling meet 1 county over.
Does the virus spread magically stop at the county line?
I'm a female, but i have a dick, so is cool if i protest right? Cant we all just be females with dicks and then do what we want? seriously, think about it. then its gender equality and justified. embrace clown world?
The great thing is, anyone is free to lockdown at any time if they want to! Everyone doesn't need to be forced to, or you end up with situations like the Boston mayor saying "no one has antibodies because everyone locked down, so we have to stay locked down because no one has antibodies." Its gonna spread through the population regardless, if you are high risk stay home. If you're healthy go about your life.
Exactly. Stay at home if you want to, but stop forcing everyone else to comply with this bullshit. People are so damn paranoid over the flu. I know some people have weak immune systems and in previous years they've always taken extra precautions during flu season. Why the hell is this year so different? We never shut down the world before just because a small percentage of the population have weak immune systems...
That’s what Japan has done. The Germ will likely kill you if you are really old, really sick or really obese. The Japanese just told everyone to wear a mask and for the vulnerable to stay home. They don’t test you for it unless you are really vulnerable or really sick because for most people under 60 who are in shape, The Germ poses fairly low (but not 0) risk.
I tuned into NPR radio today, and it was all they talked about. Like really? There isn't any other things to report on? Not that I'm surprised, NPR is communist garbage.
Add ObamaGate and BLM to all this, yeah the media IS destroying this country, and have been for a while, this is just the latest iteration and possibly the most treasonous. Part of it is, many of us here are news junkies, but I know at least 2 people who mentioned the news of our “potential re-lockdown” in NC and they work manual labor jobs and just come home maybe watch the 6 o’clock news and browse Facebook. Politically, like assholes they have opinions, but they don’t know what the hell’s going on, yet they’re legit afraid. These are good people who just want to work and live a good life, and just stay at least half ass informed on the top stories, and they’re scared to death. It gets to people and that’s a serious problem. Somebody else told me today, we’ve got roughly 120 positives (and most of those have recovered, only like 2 deaths), but they’re telling me “do the math, this county has a higher infection rate based on our population relative to other areas.” Goes hand in hand with a recent news story “COVID cases SURGE 220% in this County” 23 motherfucking people outta 210,000, that’s the 220%.
And my response is... is the virus magical? Are you going to have no symptoms whatsoever, and magically all of a sudden at some time in the future you discover you have lung damage? If you're lungs are being damaged significantly, how in the hell would you not realize it?
I was traveling across the country all through Feb, March and April. None of these travel restrictions are law and they can't do anything to you for ignoring them
Same. Since sports were cancelled and school went online, we’ve been doing a ton of traveling. If they let people burn down buildings, break windows, and graffiti businesses, I guess we should be okay enjoying the sights of our beautiful country. Might be a good idea to see all our landmarks and historical sites before liberals decide to explode Mount Rushmore or graffiti the Liberty Bell or whatever they come up with next...
We moved here last year. Our quality of life has improved A LOT since employers pay way better down here (up in Lubbock they pag the fed minimum wage) but holy shit are people fucking insane here. Hoenstly it's everywhere now.
Exactly. So many people are willing to do the mask shit if it means people get off their backs about not staying home, but wearing masks everywhere just reinforces the fear in the masses.
It reinforces fear and it enables those who wish to hide their identity to commit violence. We used to have laws against wearing masks in public. Let's bring those back!
Me neither. That's a false headline. Saying '65% of Americans' sound like they polled every single American. And they most certainly didn't. Was this a poll that was put online?
65% of sampled Americans. It's not uncommon nor misleading phrasing in statistics so long as sampling methods are transparent. Nobody expects the entire population to be polled.
This. The central limit theorem shows the proportion is a very good estimate as long as the sampling method is valid. Usually these polls are something like +/-3%.
What it really means, if the pollsters are even honest, is 65% of the type of people that would not immediately hang up when answering their phone and being asked if they can spare a few minutes to answer some survey questions, would rather return to lockdown.
On the local FB community groups the same people who were screaming "muy masks" two weeks ago went to "muy black lives matter" and now they are back to "muy msaks" once again. It is a cult.
The part that gets me is that it feels like everyone around me DOES believe this shit. I had to delete my twitter because it got to the point where they weren't even pretending to allow anybody who's not on the radical left to have an opinion. When I saw people on the left getting persecuted for not saying ENOUGH and bullied into group think without facts even being out I knew my time was up. I'm a gen z and I'm from a small conservative town and seeing the people I grew up with just get brainwashed into something they never stood for and their parents definitely don't agree with.. I feel like such a loner right now.
I have no friends, its easier that way. I guess thats why I landed out here in the sticks. Population < 3,500, conservative god fearing community. Been here for about two and a half years and its a little slice of Americana. My nearest neighbor is about 500 yards from us, and I think thats too close. Anyway, the wife and I are watching all this shit unfold, she turns to me and said, "you know theres a reason why we moved here." I'm starting to believe it now.
Methodology: we randomly sampled 20 Democratic governors from a variety of states. 13 of them said to continue lockdowns, the remaining 7 were noncommittal and simply said Orange Man Bad.
All of the people that want to stay home from work for fear of the Kung Flu SHOULD be able to be fired at the discretion of their employer, with no government assistance, unemployment, or fallback programs.
Everyone that wants to get the fuck back to work and carry on with their lives should ignore this bullshit.
Red states might be okay to reopen if their state leadership is not completely pozzed, but for those of us in blue states, we have no choice. Small businesses are shut down, yet the major corporations all seem to be essential. I can't get a haircut lest I kill someone's grandma with the Chinese Coof but I can go get liquor and weed no problem. And jobs? Tons of openings for delivery work, maintenance work but not much else. I would rather slice my own throat and be done with it before working for Jeff Bezos
I think they only ask people in blue enclaves like mine (though I'm 48 years old and not been polled once in my life). I was on a large call yesterday working for a fortune 500 company. Most callers were local. As people trickled in the topic was covid and how staying isolated is still the only wise choice. Hey, maybe it is but if having no liberty is wise then let me remain a fool forever.
Nothing has fundamentally changed:
Risk of injury and death every day, same as it ever was. Besides that, warm weather is the best time to face the challenge.
Fatality rate is really low, close to 0.1%, continuing to decline.
Yes, lots more cases. But how many of those cases are severe? If a huge amount of them are asymptomatic, is that not good news?
Masks are not proven to stop the virus. It literally says so on the box. Stop trying to make masks a thing, they will never be cool, they will never be hip, they’ll never be anything more than a face diaper that signals your obedience.
Trump says we’re not going back on lockdown... but many states and cities already are. If he doesn’t meaningfully address it... then it’s just words. Fuck this China Virus, fuck your lockdowns, fuck your masks, fuck virtual events, and fuck staying 6 feet apart.
Would you rather wear a mask or potentially kill someone (maybe even yourself)? Because that's what it really comes down to.
This disease is killing a lot of people and is very contagious. You might think it's 'just another disease' and not find the fatality rate concerning, but if too many people get infected at once, the healthcare system will be overwhelmed and fatalities will skyrocket.
Thanks for the reply. I have shared these very ideas for the first 4 months of the year, specifically when there was little data, but no more. Now I am convinced that it is mostly hype / spin, even tho I also assume the virus was engineered. BTW, I am a geneticist, molecular biolologist, in addition to multiple other bio specialties.
Money is never free. If we didn't generate it then someone else did. Could those commies be borrowing from China to increase our already ludicrous national debt?
Nah, I just let it go. When that NJ cop video surfaced (cop attacked for no reason and shot after prolonged hand fight that he started to lose) this “man” had the gall to argue the cop in that situation should have an unconditional duty to retreat. My colleague is second generation French so now I just put my paws up and say “I surrender” every time I see him. No need to argue. He knows where I stand. I’m scared he’ll kill himself if Trump wins again. No need to rile these people up.
These people are sheep. I could understand If people were dying at an astonishing rate, but Kung Flu isn’t even all that deadly. We’ll have more deaths from obesity this year.
Sure let them lock down, but no more 600$ in extra weekly unemployment and we can run that poll again. I bet you my bottom dollar that no one will want to lock down after that... lazy pieces of shit.
Indiana is like 9 days from 100% opening with no restrictions.
My county hasn't had a case in 3 weeks even with more testing.
We in Indiana haven't had a spike at all, it's been about the same as it has for the last 2 months. But hey, whatever to "flatten the curve to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed?" Now it's "OMG WE MUST SHUT DOWN TIL IT"S OVER!"
All cause the hoax didn't work out the way they wanted.
Fuck your lockdown!!!
NC gov just delayed phase 3 by weeks and made masks required in public. I refuse to comply.
He is done in November. Vote Dan Forest, NC pedes!
Roy Cooper man, I feel ya. How one human being could suck so bad at their job and still legitimately have a chance to be re-elected is beyond me.
Too many Yankees from NY and NJ. It’s that simple. They’re fucking locusts. They devour their home and then move onto a new host.
While continuing to VOTE for the same shit that led to them leaving NY/NJ in the first place. You can’t fix stupid.
Yankee checking in, there are literally dozens of us patriots! The rest moving down here are bringing shitty policy positions with them. Don’t be fooled, it’s by design. Before the wuflu it was socialist economic policy forcing people south, now they’ll be the only open states where you can find work.
Ignorant SOB.
They don’t know how government works. They truly think the president is the problem for their city/state issues
*While also believing the government- and giving them more power -is the answer to everything.
I know some former NYers who moved to NC and they fit this mold exactly. They want to live in a shithole that isn't covered in snow I guess.
And then they’re shocked and blame something else when it fucking happens. IMHO, one of the best things Clinton did was drop massive federal funding on cities to try to stop them from being shitholes. Guys like Giuliani and Daley jammed a boot in criminal ass and NYC and Chicago became pretty decent places. Not great, but not absolute shitholes.

Yeah, these people under 30 literally have no clue what they are signing up for. Absolutely no idea.
I go to NYC quite frequently and have for decades. I agree with everything you say.
Nah, fed money actually helped build the police forces these asswipes want to destroy. You’re right that plenty of it went to politburos in smoky backroom deals, though.
The only solution is the final solution for theses commie bastards.
I was looking at maps of the most liberal cities in the United States and number 2 was Durham. San Fransico was number 1.
Durham ain’t even the most leftist city in North Carolina.
Lists like that should be taken with a grain of salt. I would put DC at number 2 from my travel experiences. I don't have much knowledge of NC outside of visiting family in Charlotte and doing contracting at Fort Bragg for a week or two.
what is?
Tossup between Chapel Hill/Carrboro and Asheville I'd say, though I haven't been back in a while
Fuck Durham and fuck Duke
I loathe them.
Still never worn a mask- rural living is the only life— especially now—-even went and picked up daughter and 2 grandkids went to Home Depot bought heavy stuff (no masks) had kids unload heavy stuff- hung out / worked / sweated/ got Taco Bell— ate at picnic table in community park ( only because their dogs are a pain around food— bird dogs) Pretty much normal life except seeing all the people with sweaty masks mostly below their noses
Can confirm. My entire neighborhood (200+ homes) are transplants from up north.
Sadly, AOC just won her primary. That says a LOT. The left is totally lost now.
All we can do is bust out butts to get the middle and do whatever we can to increase the turnout.
AOC's district has a population of over 700,000.
She's only received 27,460 votes so far but that's enough for a 53-point "landslide" over her nearest challenger (7,393 votes).
People who don't vote have to live with the consequences of their apathy.
I think it was a closed primary.
Agreed.
are you a paid political guy? because that sounds like something a paid political guy would say. Not trying to start shit, just calling a duck a duck :)
I dont know man, maybe you're right. Maybe the only way this doesn't end badly is if we win the election....and in that case the only thing we really can do to help our chances is, like you said, get the middle and increase turnout.

Oregon is testing legal prohibitions that differ by race.

oh it gets better. glimpse from California
https://ballotpedia.org/California_Repeal_Proposition_209_Affirmative_Action_Amendment_(2020)
Not the 'Affirmative action' name. now read carefully the part of state constitution this removes
(a) The State shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.
(b) This section shall apply only to action taken after the section's effective date.
(c) Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as prohibiting bona fide qualifications based on sex which are reasonably necessary to the normal operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.
(d) Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as invalidating any court order or consent decree which is in force as of the effective date of this section.
(e) Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as prohibiting action which must be taken to establish or maintain eligibility for any federal program, where ineligibility would result in a loss of federal funds to the State.
(f) For the purposes of this section, "State" shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, the State itself, any city, county, city and county, public university system, including the University of California, community college district, school district, special district, or any other political subdivision or governmental instrumentality of or within the State.

I don't know why in US States even have their own constitutions that seem to cover the same thing the federal laws does. However it's just a weird thing to strike down now. And they are not claiming it was redundant or anything - all the MSM is saying this section prevent 'affirmative action'. But they could have added a clause that allows affirmative action, instead they just removed that whole thing.
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Look at this horseshit! Oregon is just a cesspool of filth.
at least they are not California that just literally repealed the part of their state constitution that prohibited discrimination by sex,race etc...
edit: I misread my link, it's not a done deal, just something they are currently trying to push through
And next on the “Burn this motha fucka down list” is....
It hasn't been repealed yet has it?
you are right, I misread my own link
https://ballotpedia.org/California_Repeal_Proposition_209_Affirmative_Action_Amendment_(2020)
it's going through senate and will than be up to referendum.
all the MSM are describing it as pro-affirmative action which is highly misleading
Well, considering that affirmative action is, by definition, discrimination based on race, then repealing their equal protection clause would be 'pro-affirmative action', right?
They don't want equality. They want punishment for perceived 'crimes'.
I hope somebody sues over that
Dammit. I live in N.C. I hate that asshole so much.
Mayor of Asheville is a hypocrite tryant as well. She kept Asheville locked down, gyms and such while her teenage son went to a wrestling meet 1 county over.
Does the virus spread magically stop at the county line?
Absolute hypocrites.
It also doesn't apply to 'protesters'.
But only if you protest the correct thing.
Truth. All the patriot protests were met with cries of stupidity and risk.. yet it was irrelevant when the subject changed.
Or performing washing of the feet ceremonies they did in Cary, NC
I'm a female, but i have a dick, so is cool if i protest right? Cant we all just be females with dicks and then do what we want? seriously, think about it. then its gender equality and justified. embrace clown world?
She sounds horrible. I hope she loses the next election. Keep red pilling people.
*absolute tyrants
I lived in Asheville for a little while. I went to a great little privately owned gym. Hope the owner hasn't gone under, she's really cool.
WA still has gyms closed too. This is a war against our mental, physical, and social fitness.
Fuck governor Inslee. He stopped by Spokane last week but nobody was allowed entrance to have their voice heard. Coward.
He should be done right now. Start a recall and March on his house.
People in the state should refuse to work and seriously March. These tyrants need to feel the real heat.
You mean Biden?
The great thing is, anyone is free to lockdown at any time if they want to! Everyone doesn't need to be forced to, or you end up with situations like the Boston mayor saying "no one has antibodies because everyone locked down, so we have to stay locked down because no one has antibodies."

Lol Boston had the worst rates in the country outside the NYC metro, for like two months.
What incompetent boob jobs.
It was all old people in nursing homes too. Howie Carr would tweet out the numbers every day.
We are all going to die eventually. Virus, hit by a car, mobbed by commies. What difference at this point does it make?
Agree. My point is, living in fear is silly
We have to disobey any lockdown orders. If they allow massive protests, then normal Americans can go to work, go hang out, or do whatever they want.
Sampling statistics...
65 Communists
35 Patriots
I tuned into NPR radio today, and it was all they talked about. Like really? There isn't any other things to report on? Not that I'm surprised, NPR is communist garbage.
Agreed. Same goes for PBS, Vox, Vice, SNL, John Oliver, Colbert, the list goes on.
Add ObamaGate and BLM to all this, yeah the media IS destroying this country, and have been for a while, this is just the latest iteration and possibly the most treasonous. Part of it is, many of us here are news junkies, but I know at least 2 people who mentioned the news of our “potential re-lockdown” in NC and they work manual labor jobs and just come home maybe watch the 6 o’clock news and browse Facebook. Politically, like assholes they have opinions, but they don’t know what the hell’s going on, yet they’re legit afraid. These are good people who just want to work and live a good life, and just stay at least half ass informed on the top stories, and they’re scared to death. It gets to people and that’s a serious problem. Somebody else told me today, we’ve got roughly 120 positives (and most of those have recovered, only like 2 deaths), but they’re telling me “do the math, this county has a higher infection rate based on our population relative to other areas.” Goes hand in hand with a recent news story “COVID cases SURGE 220% in this County” 23 motherfucking people outta 210,000, that’s the 220%.
**Fao Xi
And my response is... is the virus magical? Are you going to have no symptoms whatsoever, and magically all of a sudden at some time in the future you discover you have lung damage? If you're lungs are being damaged significantly, how in the hell would you not realize it?
Nailed it
Probably 100% communists polled, even a lot of leftists hate the lockdown.
I'm not going back under any conditions !
There's a chance that Austin will in two weeks. I'm going to ignore the part about non-essential travel being prohibited as a start myself.
Meanwhile, there are a bunch of dumbasses downtown protesting.

Another from Austin checking in. Lol, that graphic shows the phases but doesn't show when the rioting started. Honk.
edit: oh it shows protests beginning. imagine not calling them riots
Username checks out
I never followed that bullshit.
I was traveling across the country all through Feb, March and April. None of these travel restrictions are law and they can't do anything to you for ignoring them
Same. Since sports were cancelled and school went online, we’ve been doing a ton of traveling. If they let people burn down buildings, break windows, and graffiti businesses, I guess we should be okay enjoying the sights of our beautiful country. Might be a good idea to see all our landmarks and historical sites before liberals decide to explode Mount Rushmore or graffiti the Liberty Bell or whatever they come up with next...
Time for more cheap plane tickets
We moved here last year. Our quality of life has improved A LOT since employers pay way better down here (up in Lubbock they pag the fed minimum wage) but holy shit are people fucking insane here. Hoenstly it's everywhere now.
Loved Austin when I was in college there 10 years ago. It's since changed way too much, and not for the better..
We could always peacefully protest. Surely the news or Antifa wont cause any false flags or narratives.
We should protest. Pick a day and no one go to work.
Maskless Monday
Everyone needs to stop wearing masks ASAP. It will be the biggest thing we can do to show them that we are not going to lose our morale.
Exactly. So many people are willing to do the mask shit if it means people get off their backs about not staying home, but wearing masks everywhere just reinforces the fear in the masses.
It reinforces fear and it enables those who wish to hide their identity to commit violence. We used to have laws against wearing masks in public. Let's bring those back!
Me neither. That's a false headline. Saying '65% of Americans' sound like they polled every single American. And they most certainly didn't. Was this a poll that was put online?
65% means that at least One Pede wants it. 0% pedes want it, therefore, they asked a small sample of people.
65% of sampled Americans. It's not uncommon nor misleading phrasing in statistics so long as sampling methods are transparent. Nobody expects the entire population to be polled.
This. The central limit theorem shows the proportion is a very good estimate as long as the sampling method is valid. Usually these polls are something like +/-3%.
What it really means, if the pollsters are even honest, is 65% of the type of people that would not immediately hang up when answering their phone and being asked if they can spare a few minutes to answer some survey questions, would rather return to lockdown.
What other characteristics does that type of people have?
This. Losers with nothing better to do. Not "Americans".
120% of percentages in headlines are pulled from someone's ass!
Well nobody polled, nor poled, my ass!
I thought the coronavirus got cancelled due to lack of interest
Yeah but race war isn’t producing results, so they gotta do something. 🤷♀️
This. Gotta double down on stupid and revisit corona
Kung Flu 2 Electric Boogaloo
On the local FB community groups the same people who were screaming "muy masks" two weeks ago went to "muy black lives matter" and now they are back to "muy msaks" once again. It is a cult.
The part that gets me is that it feels like everyone around me DOES believe this shit. I had to delete my twitter because it got to the point where they weren't even pretending to allow anybody who's not on the radical left to have an opinion. When I saw people on the left getting persecuted for not saying ENOUGH and bullied into group think without facts even being out I knew my time was up. I'm a gen z and I'm from a small conservative town and seeing the people I grew up with just get brainwashed into something they never stood for and their parents definitely don't agree with.. I feel like such a loner right now.
Fear.
It's fear. And they think they're being virtuous.
I have no friends, its easier that way. I guess thats why I landed out here in the sticks. Population < 3,500, conservative god fearing community. Been here for about two and a half years and its a little slice of Americana. My nearest neighbor is about 500 yards from us, and I think thats too close. Anyway, the wife and I are watching all this shit unfold, she turns to me and said, "you know theres a reason why we moved here." I'm starting to believe it now.
wholesome af
Hey maybe read this thread!!
It does give me hope, this whole site does actually. The war on communication is how they get us though it's demoralizing
95% of Americans aren't on Twitter. It has become a cesspool of far-left garbage. 75% of the accounts are Chinese bots anyways
That’s why we’re here. So we can all know that we’re not alone(r).
Never Again! Fuck the Media, Fuck FauXi, Fuck Your second Wave, Fuck China.
And fuck your feelings, cucks!
Yes, fuck all of that shit.

Does nobody understand that without the economy literally millions will die?
Yes, they understand that, but that's their goal.
nailed it
Methodology: we randomly sampled 20 Democratic governors from a variety of states. 13 of them said to continue lockdowns, the remaining 7 were noncommittal and simply said Orange Man Bad.
85% of asian children prefer Capt Crunch. See, I can do it too.
85% of pacific islanders prefer Cocoa Puffs
CINNAMON
97% of climate scientists agree
“And the other 3% would agree but they were bought off by Exxon.”
All of the people that want to stay home from work for fear of the Kung Flu SHOULD be able to be fired at the discretion of their employer, with no government assistance, unemployment, or fallback programs.
Everyone that wants to get the fuck back to work and carry on with their lives should ignore this bullshit.
Red states might be okay to reopen if their state leadership is not completely pozzed, but for those of us in blue states, we have no choice. Small businesses are shut down, yet the major corporations all seem to be essential. I can't get a haircut lest I kill someone's grandma with the Chinese Coof but I can go get liquor and weed no problem. And jobs? Tons of openings for delivery work, maintenance work but not much else. I would rather slice my own throat and be done with it before working for Jeff Bezos
Did your racist ass just Kung Flu?!?
Lung Pow
Let's just stay in lockdown until every disease currently in existence has been eradicated
Including humanity. Smith would approve.
I press (X) to doubt.
X
Paid. They paid. They own 10%.
Propaganda is valuable.
I think they only ask people in blue enclaves like mine (though I'm 48 years old and not been polled once in my life). I was on a large call yesterday working for a fortune 500 company. Most callers were local. As people trickled in the topic was covid and how staying isolated is still the only wise choice. Hey, maybe it is but if having no liberty is wise then let me remain a fool forever.
guitar solo wails in the distance
Don't fall for this bull crap, these polls are selectively used to shape public opinion, not the other way around.
Using statistics to frame a narrative to influence public opinion via mass media. What's a ten letter word starting with P for this?
Pro... propa...
Paranormal?
It's dumb. We're all going to get it eventually anyway. I'm all for ripping the bandaid off and taking my chances.
I'm tired of watching everyone live in fear and whining and crying over it. All local posts are about "OMG nobody is wearing masks HOW DARE YOU!"
Exactly. Bunch of fucking pussies.
Nothing has fundamentally changed: Risk of injury and death every day, same as it ever was. Besides that, warm weather is the best time to face the challenge.
Axios... enough said
N O P E
Not gonna happen. I will never be locked in solitude in my own home again.
ABSOLUTELY NOT
Hmm also have never been asked or know anyone who’s been asked 💁🏻♀️
Cowards, all of them. "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Should poll this place to see if anyone here was asked
what the hell is that
Lmao
Body spray I think.
Actually it’s fake news body spray
Can we blow this narrative to pieces already?
Fatality rate is really low, close to 0.1%, continuing to decline.
Yes, lots more cases. But how many of those cases are severe? If a huge amount of them are asymptomatic, is that not good news?
Masks are not proven to stop the virus. It literally says so on the box. Stop trying to make masks a thing, they will never be cool, they will never be hip, they’ll never be anything more than a face diaper that signals your obedience.
Trump says we’re not going back on lockdown... but many states and cities already are. If he doesn’t meaningfully address it... then it’s just words. Fuck this China Virus, fuck your lockdowns, fuck your masks, fuck virtual events, and fuck staying 6 feet apart.
THERE WILL NEVER BE A NEW NORMAL
FUCK THEIR NEW NORMAL!!!
Hopefully the next "new normal" is one without Marxists trying to sabotage our beautiful country. They're certainly pushing hard for that outcome.
There already is and we’re living in it. No travel, no commuting, government provides a survival pittance.
Agreed on all points.
It is certainly not proven but research is promising: https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2020.00818
Best case, the experts are wrong and you wore a mask for nothing.
Worst case, the experts are right and you helped slow the spread.
Masks don't have to be political.
What’s the point of slowing the spread again?
Really.
Would you rather wear a mask or potentially kill someone (maybe even yourself)? Because that's what it really comes down to.
This disease is killing a lot of people and is very contagious. You might think it's 'just another disease' and not find the fatality rate concerning, but if too many people get infected at once, the healthcare system will be overwhelmed and fatalities will skyrocket.
Thanks for the reply. I have shared these very ideas for the first 4 months of the year, specifically when there was little data, but no more. Now I am convinced that it is mostly hype / spin, even tho I also assume the virus was engineered. BTW, I am a geneticist, molecular biolologist, in addition to multiple other bio specialties.
Are you suggesting that CDC data doesn't actually show severe fatality and infection rates? Or that the data is wrong/misleading?
The latter, I do not trust the CDC for many reasons.
Yet this is just one facet of a very complex situation.
So you think every health entity in the world is colluding with the CDC to present these false statistics?
Exactly. 65 % of Americans are insufferable
Of course they would. More free money from the government (read: taxpayers) the longer the lockdowns go.
Money is never free. If we didn't generate it then someone else did. Could those commies be borrowing from China to increase our already ludicrous national debt?
😂😂 and Biden will win in a landslide.
Liberal douche at work today: “Trump is such a failure the electoral map is going to make Mondale look like a genius.” These fucking people.
Hahaha did you engage?
Nah, I just let it go. When that NJ cop video surfaced (cop attacked for no reason and shot after prolonged hand fight that he started to lose) this “man” had the gall to argue the cop in that situation should have an unconditional duty to retreat. My colleague is second generation French so now I just put my paws up and say “I surrender” every time I see him. No need to argue. He knows where I stand. I’m scared he’ll kill himself if Trump wins again. No need to rile these people up.
Scared? You're more virtuous than I. Lol
Ha...axios survey...they would sample 85% Karen Maskers to get the outcome they wanted.
Polls should never be trusted. Even if it is in our favor.
NOPE Fauci said 2nd Lockdown not necessary!!!!!!! The hospitals had more than enough time and never got overcrowded!!!!
just tell them no expanded unemployment no more checks.
Every poll is a lie, that's my thumb of rule.
Should've been rule of wrist.
Nag their wrists are too limp for that to work. Much like their dicks.
Related: Only 16% of Republicans trust the media [1]. That number should be 0.

Never again.
Would rather lock down than what? Half the question is left out.
Would you rather lockdown or eat shit?
These people are sheep. I could understand If people were dying at an astonishing rate, but Kung Flu isn’t even all that deadly. We’ll have more deaths from obesity this year.
they can lock deez nuts in their mouths
I wasn’t asked
65% of Americans would rather REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEturn to lockdown...
Sure let them lock down, but no more 600$ in extra weekly unemployment and we can run that poll again. I bet you my bottom dollar that no one will want to lock down after that... lazy pieces of shit.
If they ask people it fucks up their narrative
This will pass after the elections
Indiana is like 9 days from 100% opening with no restrictions. My county hasn't had a case in 3 weeks even with more testing.
We in Indiana haven't had a spike at all, it's been about the same as it has for the last 2 months. But hey, whatever to "flatten the curve to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed?" Now it's "OMG WE MUST SHUT DOWN TIL IT"S OVER!"
All cause the hoax didn't work out the way they wanted.
Fuck off pinkos.
so sick and tired of this fear mongering bullshit
