Has any of this been proven?
What do you mean has it been proven true? Have you been under a rock?
Has any of this been proven?
I agree 100%, just not sure which one that is and neither is anyone else.
Zrickety, i applaud your attempts to keep America great. I think you have some good intentions but have a bit of 'tunnel vision' about how badly masks and these current pandemic mandates are affecting your freedom.
I encourage you to keep an open mind that there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of scientists that are very acutely focused on these issues. They have people on all sides attacking them, some to increase restrictions, some to ban. The aggregate will naturally force them to find the most justifiable middle ground and currently, this is where the cards lay, roughly speaking.
You and I do not have the power to change the world, fortunately. But recognize, my internet friend, that America is a great place, and we have so much freedom - more in fact than many other places in the world. Where we have temporarily lost some 'freedom' to keep certain businesses alive, or to just walk around in public or in said stores, many, MANY other places still were never in a position to have posh restaraunts, and never will, due to America's overpowering will upon the rest of the world. Many people are scared to walk around in public, mask or not, due to fear of war, or the fear of god/s, where we pretty much NEVER have to worry about these things!
I would argue that, while 'America' at large has made some good, and some bad choices regarding coronavirus, whether it is less powerful than the flu, or the most powerful pandemic we are barely skimming past via restricitons in the last 100 years, we are still free, and this is still a great place to be.
You still have your right to free speech, to bear arms, to drive a car, to OWN a car, to pursue happiness. Fucking do it!
This is not true and I have never supported excluding anyone, unless it is myself from unconstitutional mandates.The issue is that "Keeping America Great" means keep excluding and marginalizing the same people that we've always excluded and marginalized, because change is scary.
lol, you're not sure which one that is? what do you mean?
Trump's vitriol and actions can be, and ARE tracked, recorded, evaluated. The things he said before and during his presidency have led to actions both on his part and on part of his white-supremacist followers. Those words/actions would, and do, deprive millions of americans of their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Since he took power, he has repeatedly refused to denounce white supremacists, and white supremacists all support him. those white supremacists have partaken in what can only be referred to as the modern-day lynchings of black people. do you know what happened in charlottesville?
The same man who has been outed by nearly every previous business associate as a racist + sexist narcissist had the GALL to say on live television at a presidential debate that he has "done more for black people than any president since Abraham Lincoln." He also compared his impeachment, invited by his own slanderous and crony behavior, to a lynching.View attachment 191104
I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on. If you "don't know" about Donald Trump by now, you lack critical thinking + comprehension skills, and a basic understanding of cause and effect. You lack an understanding of history, and the red flags/warning signs of a despot, or a demagogue. Trump utilizes all the same tactics and behaves in many ways like Hitler, Mussolini, etc (strong nationalism at the heart of his message, appealing to disillusioned, low-income, uneducated white people about a national identity that doesn't include other skin colors, nationalities, or religions, prison camps at the border, BIG, flashy "Rallies" where people just show up to listen to him talk because they're obsessed with HIM more than they are obsessed with any of the actual stuff he does). The only reason it's not worse than it is is due to how well-designed our system of checks and balances is, but even that has been shaken since he fires everyone who even lifts a finger to him.
You SHOULD be sure by now. If you aren't, you haven't paid attention. If you aren't, you lack perspective.

why are all the Biden supporters on this forum quick to call names and belittle someone for having their own opinions?
Seems a bit contradictory
I thank you for having a civil conversation, which is beyond what many of the 3rd graders posting in the thread can do.Zrickety, i applaud your attempts to keep America great
