Dramatic much? Everyone dies. Probably have a better chance of dying driving to the convention than from covid. I've been on some long trips during this so called pandemic. Shutting down states has caused way more death and despair than the virus itself. Suicides are way up, same with homicide, drug use, etc. No one is being forced to go to a political rally. I really think some of you would prefer a dictatorship...the way you want people controlled.
No, we want you to control yourselves, if you can't care about those who will die then, we want you to consider all the people that are out of work because of this shutdown and how our economy is being destroyed, we want you to consider that our children need to be school and our teachers are safe, we want you to consider how people need to attend their faith-based gatherings, and yes we want you to consider the people who will commit suicide from living alone or in despair.
The question is meant to point out the term "conservative" is a misrepresentation.
Conservatives aren't watching Chris Hayes, so I completely agree with your point on who it's hurting regarding the election. My point is that the hypocrisy of concern, which is when the media shows concern over religious and conservative gatherings, but are silent or subdued over BLM/antifa activism, doesn't inform us of the danger of Covid. Instead it conveys the idea that the expressed danger is purely political even though there is real danger. That leads people to downplay the concern, rather than act according to the danger. Segments like we see here just make it worse.
What you said is built on a misrepresentation of conservatism to begin with. Conservatism doesn't equate with cynicism which is a circular reasoning. That was my point.
Yes, exacting data shows nothing
Oh dear
of course... as you said
Essentially yes. I want to believe that the people we elect and put in charge are not lying to us.
Yes that is what the system of control over the masses has always depended upon. Sometimes they get caught and so the system is revamped to avoid detection. Eventually they become unquestionably saintly. What most people forget is that both sides are funded by the same people who are the system.
I'm a conservative according to this definition:
Then you should be alarmed how the 'pandemic' is being used to further the interests of the fourth industrial revolution, the Technocratic Age as they call it. While people focus on the virus they miss the changes being made to centuries of 'freedoms'. This medical martial law is allowing the system to turn into a social credit system similar to China where buying and selling and other freedoms will only be allowed if the people comply. The less you co-operate the less freedom you will have. Stay home, live online, abandon cash, abandon churches, do not congregate, take the dna altering vaccine, etc. Anyone who thinks these changes are going away are living in a fantasy, simply because every time people rebel a greater 'threat' will be introduced. The bible wasn't kidding about losing the freedom to buy and sell unless you bow to the system. Things will re-open, but in a new way.
It's called faith and it's necessary to build any type of relationship.
Cynicism is unreasonable. There are people who run for office and speak out against the corruption and want to bring change. Unfortunately there are those who will say they are for the same, but they are actually intent on deceiving the people. One has to be able to tell the true servants from the fake servants.
