The left's lockdown fascism

You claim to care about people's health but you don't seem to care about how the lockdowns have effected people's mental health: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/uk-england-54418913

Don’t even start with that shit. My mental health has taken a f**king beating this year because you shit for brains refused to take the pandemic seriously until it was far too late.

You want to help people in mental and emotional turmoil right now? Wear a f**king mask.

You are nothing but evil little scum, people are suffering domestic abuse and you just don't care. https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-53014211

You are not a victim here, your mental health has not "taken a beating" you are just irrationality triggered by people who don't want to satisfy your whiny feelings, you just want to make yourself feel good. Are going to be insensitive to a woman who is being physically beaten by her husband and say "get back inside and stop being selfish" as for your "You want to help people in mental and emotional turmoil right now? Wear a f**king mask." How utterly retarded are you? A person not wearing is not "causing you mental turmoil" you are just irrationality triggered by another person sitting minding their own business, people are not gonna get sick and die from not covering their face, you are just being paranoid and you are acting like you are entitled to make people cover their faces to satisfy your false sense of security. If you want to help people suffering mental turmoil maybe you stop forcing them to stay prisoners in their own homes with their abusive spouses and stop bitching at them over the petty issue of not wearing a mask to satisfy your selfish, entitled, bratty false sense of security. Maybe you should learn the truth of the negative consequences of these lockdowns and realize that you can't keep people locked indoors all the time: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7444649/

I’m running out of ways to say the more you pretend the pandemic doesn’t exist, the longer we will remain locked down.

Do whatever the f**k you want, just don’t take precious ICU space away from people who took the necessary precautions.

australia's basically doing this and they've got less cases than us

Apples to dump trucks comparison.

Australia is an island nation, and they strictly enforce their immigration laws. So right off the bat, there are two huuuuuuge differences between the US and Australia. Their health care system is something Bernie Sanders would like to institute here. For some, it's great. For others, it's a detrimental, possibly life threatening sham. Also, their form of govt is far closer to socialism than ours is (at least for now) so the people are more inclined to (blindly?) follow govt mandates.

But aside from the two countries being significantly different, I don't think your comment addresses the point the OP was making with the meme. Since this pandemic began, we've seen the most incredible examples of govt over-reach (a real power grab) and lying, possibly in our history. Although Lincoln did suspend the writ of habeas corpus, so we could claim that was pretty egregious as well.

Think back to when this started. We weren't given the "if it means saving even one life" argument for the lock down that's at least implicitly being used now. We were told we had to lock down, short term, so that our health care system wouldn't get crushed.

My $0.02 is that when the dust settles, and this fades into the history books, there will be three things that are remembered the most, or considered the most significant:

- Trump did not use the pandemic as an excuse for a govt (federal, that is) overreach of power
- Trump delivered a vaccine (vaccines?) in record time, at warp speed if you will, by turning loose big pharma (aka private businesses.) Of course, this hopefully means no dangerous shortcuts were taken, but that only mind numbing federal regulations were removed or loosened.
- The lock downs were not necessary. If we knew at the beginning, what we know now, all we had to do was enforce social distancing, wear masks, wash our hands frequently, and isolate those most at risk. There was no need for the massive harm to our economy that we self-inflicted on it.

"Their health care system is something Bernie Sanders would like to institute here. For some, it's great. For others, it's a detrimental, possibly life threatening sham."

A) how is the healthcare system a "life threatening sham"?

B) you're also describing sweden, which is also famous for its high covid numbers, despite those assets.

"Since this pandemic began, we've seen the most incredible examples of govt over-reach (a real power grab) and lying, possibly in our history"

this statement is blowing it out of proportion. baby boomers will put up this argument a lot and reject what the government is telling them, like they rebelled against their parents a long time ago. psychological fact, that. because of the large population of boomers in the United States, and their rejection of CDC guidelines, as well as rapid waves coming in from others forgetting the guidelines and reopening, covid spread very easily. we recently got into another wave, especially in swing states and red states; i blame in-person voting.

our guidelines would've been better if trump acted sooner. but he didn't. he tried to stimulate the economy because flights between china and the U.S. are really lucrative, fun fact. if he shut them down, our economy would flounder. however, the whole world is doing basically this. he didn't, and now the guidelines are trash. this is what we got, and what america voted for back in 2016. don't blame the democrats for his lack of action. we have a republican senate and executive branch, and they obviously cared more about the economy than the people... hence the endless wars still not having ended yet.

"- Trump did not use the pandemic as an excuse for a govt (federal, that is) overreach of power"

he did use the george floyd protests as an excuse to give the government of Louisville, KY, some armored trucks. that was fun

"- Trump delivered a vaccine (vaccines?) in record time, at warp speed if you will, by turning loose big pharma (aka private businesses.)"

oh isn't that nice? the companies that charge americans tens of thousands for cheap drugs are gonna be the ones responsible for why americans will suffer. bad idea from the get-go when you know what goes on behind your back in the drug industry. the irony is that those big pharma companies need subsidies despite being private.

like i said, the lockdowns were what we got because of trump's inaction.

lol

This isn't totalitarian. lmao
