That would require liberals to not try and control everyone's lives. This is impossible for them to do

Pete, I'm pretty sure how well a team does is a fans problem, and the teams know that.
See how this works? It's everybody's problem. Particularly your's Pete. In fact Pete, you have more problems than most.

Why do new SARS-CoV-2 variants spread more easily?
Quote:
The Economist this week

A special edition on our coronavirus coverage |

Welcome to our weekly newsletter highlighting the best of our coverage of the pandemic and its effects.
Why do new SARS-CoV-2 variants spread more easily? In an explainer, we look at how random mutations in the viral genetic code allow new variants to bind better to human cells.
In America, the vaccination programme is stalling. Our Lexington columnist argues that populist conservatives are to blame. In France, the vaccine-shy are suddenly rushing to get jabbed—the government’s decision to allow only the fully vaccinated to enter restaurants, bars, trains and other spaces has caused a spike in inoculations. |

OK, but the Biden regime wasn't sworn in until the start of 2021, but Covid became a full fledged issue in the start of 2020. What was the reason that the previous regime was "fear-mongering"?

I am talking about the continuing coverage on COVID and the continued insistence on talking about it compared to anything related to what the Biden regime is actually doing. Continuing denotes present tense which doesn't apply to 2020, a past year.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccine warning - watch
Facts I know to be true about the Pfizer and Moderna Covid vaccine.
1. I had zero issues after getting both injections.
2. A 37 year old coworker was dead 1 week after his when his immune system attacked his own body and he went into organ failure.
3. A 58 year old coworker has lost feeling in his hands and feet as a response to the vaccine.
4. My 18 year old son experienced rapid heartbeat and was put on a monitor for 72 hours, after his 1st dose.
5. Many of my coworkers experienced flu-like symptoms but nothing worse than after getting the usual flu vaccine.
This show a very wide range of responses to these 2 versions of the vaccine. I would recommend proceed with caution. It is obviously not simply just another 'flu' vaccine.
-
Re: Covid-19 Vaccine warning - watch
I had no problems with the first shot.. The second shot I was wiped out i slept for 14 hours and couldn't function if i wanted to. Looking back I regret getting the shot and in a couple of years or sooner I hope i don't regret it more when the side effects begin to show. Yeah, I bought into the hype. :shrug: But you can bet your ass I won't again.

The reason for the fear mongering was not because of the previous regime, it was because liberals saw it as a way to seize control through the (highly questionable) use of emergency powers even though they were the minority party. Areas that aligned with the previous regime saw COVID for what it was - an ordinary disease that was not particularly dangerous - and treated it accordingly, and ended up no worse off from a health perspective. So that was the correct answer.
Liberal Democrat areas used it to create government-caused problems that they then said were not government-caused, and in fact the government was on your side and only the government could fix these problems. Such a simple ruse could only work on the least intelligent - but the least intelligent are the Democrats' primary voter base, so at any rate, that is how it became political. It was also used as a vehicle to enable California-style voting along with its continual opportunities for 20% fraud, which was the only way that a universally despised party of lunatics could realistically claim to win an election without being laughed out of the room. So that was the reason for the different responses and why it became political.
The response in Democrat-controlled areas had nothing to do with health or safety, and in any case was simply illegal. But if you use illegal methods to gain power and then you are the ones responsible for enforcing the rules, you are off the hook, aren't you? Time to go all-in. The ends justify the means and such. Like I said, you were fooling yourself all along if you thought it was going to end November 3. I mean, that was the big prize, but CONTROL is the bigger one. The most important thing for liberals to do is control everyone else's lives, so it's not like they were just going to let go of it.
Meanwhile, it appears that the needle has stopped moving with about 30% of the population refusing to get a vaccine for this allegedly apocalyptic disease. Why is that? Is it that 30% of the population have always been hardcore anti-vaxxers who believe in far-out conspiracy theories and don't understand science? No, it isn't. That's always been a fringe group of maybe a couple percent. So why would such a large part of the population suddenly join them and put themselves at risk? Well, it's because they hate YOU. I know you don't want to hear it and will do anything to brush it off and ignore it - but a full 30% of the population hates you, the American liberal, so much that they are willing to go to the mat over something as straightforward as a vaccine. And it is all because of your own despicable actions. And there is another group of equal or greater size that hates you just as much but got the vaccine anyway. Bury your head in smugness all you want, but you will still be a widely despised group of freaks. That's a big problem for you the instant your little voting charade doesn't work anymore, and nothing lasts forever. Good luck, asshole.

So another long winded tirade about the Boogeyman "Liberals" that manipulate government actions when they are not in the White House, and even more so when they are in the White House. :blah: You should actually read some of the crazy that you post and honestly critique how immersed it is, in conspiracy theories, delusion and an obvious reason to place blame on others for something wrong with you, rather than own up to your shortcomings and improve yourself.
In my lifetime I have actually voted Conservative more than Liberal. I dont put people in a box for beliefs, religion, ethnicity, etc. But, you need to label somebody a Liberal, so that you can hate them. Its really a sad and pitiful attitude, but probably a worse existence on a daily basis. Again, you should seek professional help of a therapist or the clergy of whatever church you worship at.

As always, you seem to confuse people telling you that you suck with them meaning "Actually, I suck and I'm blaming it on you." But uh, no dude, you just suck. I am outstanding and I just don't like you, because I don't have very much patience for bullshit. And that's all liberals want to do, is spread around their bullshit and force everyone to listen to them. Well, they went too far with it, so fuck every last one of you.

A GOP POTUS candidate has not won the popular vote AND the election in the US since Bush in 1988.
That is 33 years. But somehow "liberals" are a minority?
As of 2020, 31% identified as Democrats, 25% GOP, and 41% as Independent. Of those independents, 50% indicated that the voted Democratic the majority of the time and only 39% indicated the voted majority GOP.
So that is a majority of the two party registration and a slight majority in the registered Independents, BUT...I guess there is a mystery bloc of people that accounts for the overwhelming majority of people I keep hearing about?
But...stay in an echo chamber long enough...you can become immune to facts and basic math I guess.

In COVID crackdown, inspectors take 32 Israelis off flights to Russia
29 June 2021, 7:37 pm
Population Authority border inspectors take 32 Israeli passengers off flights to Russia — a country with a high-infection rate of COVID-19 — after boarding planes without the necessary approval.
Israel has been stepping up its efforts to prevent coronavirus carriers from entering Israel through Ben Gurion Airport.
Additionally, 40 Israelis returning from Russia have been detained and fined NIS 5,000 ($1,536) each, because they had traveled there without first obtaining the necessary approval.

What are you talking about? If you wanted to open a business, 2020 would have been a foolish time to do that because you would have very few customers - and yes, all because of the government. I don't recall ever saying that was it, I've abandoned it entirely, but I don't really get what point you're trying to make. That the right move would have been to make a bad financial decision? That someone other than the government was responsible for the lockdowns and restrictions? Not a real strong argument you've got on either front.
Meanwhile, completely separate from any circumstances that have a direct impact on me personally, I despise liberals because they are stupid and aggressively promote some of the worst ideas in history. Most of your run-of-the-mill liberals are just not very bright or clever or fun to be around. So fuck them, all they deserve is ridicule.

Generally, people who take actions such as the liberal Democrats did in 2020 are ostracized and widely reviled. So it would be an extreme anomaly for people such as that to be liked by the majority or even more than a small minority of extremists.
If liberals somehow are the majority, that's still nothing to be proud of, and speaks pretty poorly of the average American's intelligence.
By the way, you still never answered. What do you get out of it? What is there to be proud of about being a liberal? Anything at all? Or is it just a bunch of running around to make yourself pissed off? Because honestly, it looks exhausting.

That while the underlying scientific principle is real, people are absolutely clueless about the parameters, and therefore drastically overestimate its effects.
I mean, if the COVID hysteria taught us anything, it's that most people have absolutely zero concept of scale when it comes to large numbers. If it was that big of a fiasco with something as straightforward as the difference between thousands and millions, imagine the type of shitshow it is when asking them to grasp things like parts per million, inverse square relationships, the difference in scale between billions and quintillions, or geologic time scales. I mean, most of the die-hard climate change freaks are so dumb they start screaming every time it's summer, or every time it doesn't rain, or every time it does rain. It's difficult to understand, so it has become a religion. I'm sure you have all the answers, though!

Records torched as western U.S. sizzles amid major heat wave
Death Valley, Calif., could hit 132 degrees Saturday after soaring to 130 on Friday, the highest temperature since 1931
Forecast highs Saturday from the National Weather Service. Boxed values are records. (WeatherBell)
By Matthew Cappucci
July 10, 2021|Updated July 10, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. EDT
Barely a week and a half has passed since an unprecedented “thousand year” heat wave killed hundreds in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia, and established a new Canadian record high temperature at 121 degrees. Now a new heat wave is scorching the West, with highs some 20 degrees or more above average set to catapult readings into record territory.
Over the weekend, more than 28 million Americans can expect to find themselves enduring triple-digit heat, the majority residing in Arizona, Nevada and California’s Central Valley. Even interior Washington state could see some 100-degree temperatures, which could spill across the Canadian border.
Photos: Another heat wave builds across the western U.S.
Excessive-heat warnings blanket most of California, Nevada, and western Utah and Arizona, and even southeast Oregon and southern Idaho. A heat advisory traces out a zone in Washington state that juts up against Canada. Glasgow, Mont., is under an excessive-heat watch, where temperatures could top 100 degrees Sunday.

Nice try at changing the discussion.
Once again, when confronted with actual facts you have nothing to back up your claims. Repeatedly claim that your viewpoints represent the majority...when all available data and information indicates the exact opposite.
What I get out of it on this board is watching you and others scramble to back up your made-up reality in the face of facts and actual information.
