How close are we to this? Question I posed to one of my customers. He is a small businessman whose family has launched and sold 2 popular retail hair care product lines many would recognize with decades of experience navigating the ups and downs of the economy. Currently concentrating on Salon side until his non-compete expires. His immediate response was we are already there. According to his distributers a large number of Salons will never re-open. No way to quantify what that number is right now but it will continue to grow. The further this goes, the but....but we were saving lives excuse will fall on deaf ears. I dont see how those who advocate this think this will play to their favor.
It's well known that socialists destroys economies. One way to recover is to get rid of socialists. Free helicopter rides, perhaps.
The last presidential election was most interesting in my lifetime. Beside rigged polls, rigged votes, rigged media, Democrats still lost, and are gone mad. Typical for all socialists, they're capable to destroy everything, including themselves, if that will bring down the system they hate.
At the moment, we have lefties destroying our cities, and over next two months, we're going to see Democrats, and their handlers in The Davos Crowd, pursuing the biggest lie since global warming. They're preparing the ground, and lining up for the the only outcome acceptable to them, and that is contested election which would ignite the push for a coup, right after they lose on November 3rd.
Democrats isn't even hiding it anymore, they're openly talking about it, as it is obvious, while setting one false flag after another, with the narrative that is preparing whole country for this course of action. Just as with Hillary, they're rigging the polls to show Biden ahead in nearly every one of them, and still they cannot produce the lead, or lie, big enough that will ensure the win in their favor. As polls are shifting in Trump's favor, Democrats are scrambling all over to produce fairy tales about Joe Biden mental state... Instead of promising cure for cancer, he should be praying for cure for dementia, because the way it looks, he won't last much longer.
You gotta give it to Democrats, and their determination to destroy everything that is in their way. The single most important factor for Trump's re-election was strong economy, so Democrats decided to destroy it. They couldn't do it on federal level, so they did in locally, in states and cities they have power. They ignited violence from the young people who are disproportionally affected by the economic destruction and ideologically aligned with academic left, by using their favorite subjects, racism and hatred for the rich. And it worked for them, because Democrats were all on board with it, every single one ignored the violence, defended the rioters, and supported it every step of the way. And the worse from them is yet to come.
Looking at the way the Democrats have positioned themselves for this election it is clear that they are preparing the field for this outcome after election day. They used the lockdowns to create an mob ready to protest as long they need them to, and they will do it because they have nothing else to do and little hope for the future. They also structured all financial aid to the middle class the run out during the height of the election campaign while blocking any further assistance even though the Treasury Dept. raised nearly $2 trillion to deploy as support and stimulus. They used media to stoked fear over COVID-19 to push as many voters to consider mailing their votes in (or create the illusion that is what will happen) to delay certification of the election on election night.
The only thing that didn't go their way so far is Trump who didn't act as they predicted he would. He has governed this chaos exactly the way a majority of Americans want him to, , he stayed out of State's affairs and even though he has the authority to do so, he’s refrained from sending Federal troops into rioting cities, laying bare just how much local authorities are aiding the violence. He didn’t institute national lockdowns and restrictions, so Democrats had to act on it themselves, which caused them to look authoritarian and plain stupid in eyes of Americans. Trump offered aid to states and allowed the data to eventually vindicate him to the point where even the CDC is now backtracking on how dangerous the virus actually is.
Democrats thought they had him (this time) and yet again, they were wrong, and nothing drives them more crazy and willing to double down, or triple down, than handing a win to Trump, as they did so many times in four years. They've never been more desperate, and more dangerous, and that is why I think that worse is about to come. Brace for the impact, the self destructing Democrats are about to explode.
