    Default Something to think about as you ponder the Faucism we are living under

    If masks work then why do we need to stay 6 feet apart?

    If staying six feet apart works, why do we need to wear masks?


    If wearing a mask AND staying six feet apart works then why do we need the economy locked down?

    Excellent.

    The Democrats are using the shutdown as a tool to delay the recovery til Nov.

    Can you imagine them never allowing a crisis to go by...?

    Meanwhile, Americans have lost jobs, incomes and lives due to these demonic Democrats.

    Per Uncle Dutch:

    “True, but a lot of Americans would have been dead if Hillary had been President or if Biden is elected. Despite the beliefs of his fans and himself, Trump isn't King much less a god. He couldn't have waved a wand and stopped the Pandemic. Comparing one of the world's largest nations to Sweden or Lithuania isn't a valid comparison. Many of the reasons Americans died who otherwise could have been saved were not due to Trump but due to the fact "We, the People" have allowed our contingency resources to dwindle. It takes years to build up such resources, much longer than Trump has been in office.”

    The poor baby thinks this is Fascism. You have officially got an F in history and politics. You have also been disowned by several nationalities that actually suffered under fascism and worse while you whimper about just missing out on a few leisure activities because they are unsafe and like you have been inconvenienced, you spoiled brat.

    What the hell is Faucism goober
    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.


    “If Hamas put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there would be no Israel."

    Short for Faucet Fascism - It's the feeling of psuedo-oppression when a man-child is told to wash his hands and wear a mask.

    The OP demonstrates the lack of intellect that is undermining Trump's re-election chances
    Russian trolls and their supporters go on Ignore, automatically: no second chance.

    A shame you need to ask those questions.

    In Jan. Trump was told about the pandemic. We had zero cases. Trump was in charge. Now we have 1/3rd of all the cases on the planet. Trump totally fucked it up and Americans died. We had lots of pandemic resources. Trump did nothing about augmenting them until it was too late. He is the prez. He had 3 years to fix that. He did not even do anything when he was told about the pandemic. He could have boosted the reserves then. He did nothing.

    You are a Trump thumper. You cannot respect the lives of other people. I don't respect you.

    You have to stand six feet apart to prevent proximity transmission.

    You need to wear a mask because no one knows who could be carrying and the mask keeps asymptomatics from causing a chain of infection. It also serves as minor protection for yourself when mixed with other social distancing measures.

    Events where social distancing is not possible need to be postponed so we don't create a petri dish effect with human hosts. 1 can infect 40 and those 40 can do the same. That's 1,600 people and that's basically what happened with that parade and the mass Spanish Flu outbreak.

    It's not one or the other.

    Wear masks, distance, wash your hands regularly, test & trace. I know it's all rather complex for some, but these are the ways to fight the virus. Nothing is foolproof.
