I leave in a state were the Democrats have "won" recent elections and have a temporary domination. Our legislature, governor, and attorney general have signed off on bills to laws abridging 1st and 2nd Amendment Rights and are also looking to block public access to ballot/voting records of future elections. Plus the guv'nor decimated our economy with his two year "emergency power" abuse bankrupting the small businesses he forced to shut down over COVID while racking up more debt to keep the "essential" government workers paid while not working.
Democrats are the new and USA version of Nationalist Socialists and should be emigrated to some other nation that suits their false ideology.
Requiring ID to prove citizenship is not voter suppression.
Republicans in this state have won and might do so again if those independents whom have given up thinking their vote doesn't count, do vote and vote for wealth creation Republicans rather than wealth taking/"redistributing" Democrat thieves and fascists.
Neither your first or second amendments are unqualified or unlimited, although today’s conservative seem to think they are.
And then you talk about how your freedoms were trampled under foot during a pandemic. What I have noticed is that Fox News had the strictest Covid and vaccine requirements and protocols of any news media outlet. And then they went on the air and told you people to resist the vaccine. Your freedom was at stake.
Has it never occurred to you that Republicans were trying to keep the virus going? That once Biden was elected, it was good for their chances of re-election in 2024 to make the pandemic as deadly and destructive as possible?
It’s already been proven that Trump did nothing about the 2020 race riots because he thought they were good for his reelection chances.
Government is supposed to be about managing the resources of the nation to the benefit of the people. Instead, the Republicans are marshalling the resources of their states to do as much harm as possible to the American people in the hopes that the people will blame Democrats and vote the Democrats out.
After the swine flu outbreak in 2008 and 2009, the Obama administration created a pandemic office within the White House and a pandemic playbook for the next viral outbreak coming down the pike. The Trump administration closed the pandemic office and scattered their staff, and throughout the pandemic playbook. When the pandemic hit, they first had to assemble the task force, and a plan to replace the ones that Trump destroyed.
Instead of using what was learned in the Covid experience to plan for the next worldwide outbreak, Republicans have no interest in holding hearings or learning what worked and what didn’t. They have no interest in preparing for the next outbreak, or preventing the kind of disastrous results seen across the board with COVID-19.
In Canada, we had a pandemic playbook that started with SARS Covid-02 and was updated after Swine flu. We had much longer and stricter lockdowns, mask, mandates, and vaccine mandates than any part of the USA. We never ran out of PPE, and our hospitals were never overwhelmed, although it was a very near thing in some parts of the country.
As a result, we had a third of the death and disease of the USA and our economy didn’t collapse. Our recovery has been quick and strong. We have the same problems with inflation and worker shortages that the US has but the rate of inflation has been steadily dropping and I believe is below yours at the moment.
We’re tripling immigration to deal with labour shortages and the more than 1 million job opening we currently have.
But it should be noted that we do have a current and up-to-date, framework of immigration laws to work with. Our embassies and diplomatic outposts around the world, are fully staffed and prepared to handle an increases in applications.
Having set this entire cluster fuck up, Republicans are now blaming Biden for the chaos these policies have created.
