But they did produce benefits like mass unemployment, depression, fear, desperation, rioting, looting, burning, assault, murder, a vast transfer of wealth & power upward & of course the removal of Trump from office.
What's not to love (if you're a Democrat psychopath)?

He’s definitely on Team Globalist.

They certainly have the look lol.
Zuckerburg looks and acts like an Android. I’m not convinced he’s not, actually. The dude that runs Twitter, I’m not sure what his deal is but he’s not someone you’d like to see your daughter bring through the front door.
And these people have an inordinate amount of control over the information they either want the masses to see—or not see.
What could possibly go wrong?
Nothing, if you're a DEMOCRAT, lol.
Have you noticed that DEMOCRAT despots don't follow their own COVID Cultist Commandments?
Fun fact:
Bezos owns Amazon Web Services, which has a monopsony on government cloud services.

Only if a COVID Cult Commissar tells you that's what the "science" says.
you can see this came sorta to fruition, here we are at the worst the pandemic has to offer and none of them are talking shutdown anymore. I hope to all those democrats, losing all those small businesses and killing peoples livelihoods and retirement savings was worth getting rid of trump.
450 bills sitting on McConnells desk, and you blame the Democrats. There was a way to handle this pandemic that would have curbed the shut down, but Trump mismanaged the whole thing and Republicans refused to act. It is not the Democrats fault.
Most of the COVID responses responsibility falls on the governors and mayors. Trump does not have the authority, no president does to demand states open or close.
So tell me, most of our deaths came from cuomo, and murphy and 3 other democrat governors forcing nursing homes to accept covid patients. that's not these democrats fault but trumps?
Are you kidding?
States Impose Strictest Covid-19 Lockdowns Since Spring

Parts Of California Likely To Have Lockdown Orders Extended

You already know the answer to that, I hope.
Major catastrophes the Feds always step up and work closely with recovery operations. I’ve seen it first hand here in Houston. States are not left to their own devices.
She wouldn't know that.
She's a COVID Cultist who unquestioningly believes what the DEMOCRAT-dominated media tells her.
She thinks it's "science" because they told her so.
Meanwhile...
Get ready to stay home indefinitely, my fellow Californians. Gov. Gavin Newsom has suggested that the stay-at-home order he issued Dec. 3 will likely be extended well into January.
So for a few more weeks — at least — most Californians won’t be able to engage in a wide range of activities, from indoor and outdoor dining and worship services to overnight camping in state parks. Many cities and counties have imposed their own restrictions on top of the state’s.
These restrictions aren’t merely crippling California’s economy and harming residents’ mental health. They’re also riddled with inconsistencies and often unjustified by public health data.
Take Los Angeles County, which until recently had closed all playgrounds and barred small outdoor meetings, even though the risk of contracting the coronavirus outdoors is quite low. According to a London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine database of more than 20,000 COVID-19 cases, only 461 — 2.3% — were linked to fully outdoor settings.
Meanwhile, outdoor restaurant dining, a relatively safe activity, is currently banned in much of the state. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James Chalfant called L.A. County’s outdoor dining ban an “abuse” of power. Bars and restaurants represented just 3.1% of nonresidential outbreak locations in the county, according to court data. Renowned defense attorney Mark Geragos, a restaurant owner himself, recently filed a lawsuit against Newsom challenging the bans.
School closures are also unjustified by the “science” so many lockdown enthusiasts fetishize. More than 99% of California’s kindergarten through 12th grade students live in purple tiered counties, where in-person learning is generally prohibited, even though children rarely catch the virus in the classroom. Brown University economist Emily Oster analyzed infection rates among nearly 200,000 students in states with open schools. Over two weeks in September, she discovered an infection rate of just 0.13% among students and 0.24% among adults.
At the same time, indoor retail stores can legally remain open for the holiday rush — but are supposed to operate at 20% capacity. Malls statewide are reportedly violating such restrictions.
In other words, Californians can pile indoors to complete their Christmas shopping in fairly risky conditions but haven’t been able to go to school or dine outside in relatively safe conditions.
It’s hard to take the stay-at-home hectoring from California’s political class seriously, given that they’ve been setting such a poor example. Indeed, as Newsom and San Francisco Mayor London Breed have shown, it’s never been easier to get a table at the ritzy French Laundry restaurant in Napa County!
It’s not just right-wingers condemning the arbitrary nature of the state’s stay-at-home orders.
“This seems so counterproductive. In LA, you’re not (technically speaking) allowed to go on a masked, distanced jog with one friend? Few people are going to abide by those rules and you lose your claim to being science-driven,” tweeted Nate Silver, editor in chief of the data-based news site FiveThirtyEight.
Popular podcaster, former Obama speechwriter, and Los Angeles resident Jon Favreau has called communication about the rules from his county “atrocious” and delivered with “an overly officious chiding tone.”
Prolonged stay-at-home orders simply aren’t sustainable. Millions have lost their jobs. During the first wave of such orders this past spring, California’s weekly unemployment rate shot up from 5% more than to 15%. Today, it hovers above 8%. The number of people who are food insecure is up more than 2 million because of the pandemic.
All the uncertainty and joblessness has also sparked a mental health crisis. By July, 44% of Californian adults had symptoms of depression or anxiety disorders. In San Francisco, drug overdose deaths have actually exceeded those from the virus in 2020.
People will find ways to congregate with or without restrictions, because their sanity depends on it. If they’re barred from safe places like playgrounds and sports fields, they’ll gather indoors in each other’s homes, which will only prolong the spike in cases.
No Californian wants the coronavirus to spread unimpeded. But overly harsh and inconsistently applied rules that wreak havoc on people’s livelihoods can’t be the solution.

She's an imbecile.
Legion Troll
I'm here in NJ. my buddies gym was almost ran out of business at 3% infection rate, now at 15% he's allowed to be open.
CA's lockdown is feckless and nonsensical.
playgrounds still open
liquor stores open
gyms closed
outdoor dining open on the covid website but closed in practice.
food trucks allowed
farmers markets open
retail business open
service business closed
it's "lockdown lite"
True FEMA is a federal MANAGMENT agency to coordinate in times of natural disasters. but the federal government has no authority to order a nationwide lockdown. dont you remember how the left attacked trump first for not ordering one then balked and said he had no authority to open the states up?
States are not left to their own devices but are responsible for the bulk of managing crisis and deem whats best for their states.
Biden has already been in talks with the governors, he’s going to be a very effective leader, unlike Trump.
Government isn't the answer to everything, imbecile, and the Senate doesn't have the power to stop a disease.
What "way" was that, supposedly?
How?
Which "Republicans refused to act", supposedly, and what "acts" did they refuse to take?
Is that so?
Who ordered that COVID patients be moved into nursing homes full of elderly people who were most at risk from the Chinese disease?
