I dont get it, why would progressive slaves vote for the very freedoms that allow them to be free?

[FA_Q2]

So, the mantra of the progressive left is Orange Man bad, orange man bad.
But lets see what the progressive Masters are offering the people of the United States.
1. Free education, but who will pay for it, because nothing in life is free, Billionaires? Not all the billionaires in the world can pay for all the free education.
2. Free healthcare, and again, do doctors, nurses work for free, and are medical supplies somewhat costly to make?
3. A guaranteed $1,500 a month check from the government, who ends up paying for that?

Now, with what is going on, with the One Party control, of the media , education and politics, seems that the 1st amendment is under attack and will soon be takem away, but not until guns are taken away from the free people.
With the violence of the left, who is burning, looting and murdering in the progressive streets of blue cities, the prog masters want to ban certain types of weapon that make a large noise and sends a projectile out of the font of it. Knives, forks, spoons, hammers, bombs, cars, and other weapons will be dealt with later, but to the progs the 2nd amendment must go.
After the 2nd amendment is gone, and free people can no longer stand up to tyrannical governments, soon all the other rights under the constitution are also gone, thus making uneducated progs, slaves of their masters..

Why is it that every other developed nation can afford free healthcare and education, but the U.S. can not?

Why are the 'European Socialist' countries ranked higher than the U.S. in quality of life?

A lot of it has to do with the fact that the US shoulders the cost of defense for all of those nations. You can talk all you want about what the average joe gets in those nations but it is rather clear that our system generates not only prosperity that far outstrips any other nation but also innovation.

USDA ERS - The COVID-19 Pandemic and Rural America

This page provides overview information on how the pandemic is affecting rural America, including the spread of cases and trends in employment/unemployment among the U.S. metro and nonmetro populations, and by ERS county economic types.

www.ers.usda.gov

I remember when the right was mocking states such as New York and California over their high COVID rates.

Sadly, Texas has surged into the lead and now NON-metro areas are ahead of metro areas in number of cases across the country.
Deaths lag the number of cases.

Sadly, even after the White House became the worst hot spot in the entire District of Columbia large rallies were given in the months of September and October. Sometimes five a day. It's possible a half million people were infected since every rally location became a hot spot.

Maybe that's only a coincidence. But I suspect not.

No, that is wrong, we were mocking New Pork and New Jersey for their prog governors who murdered 10s of thousands of elderly in their great purge...

Let me share my understanding of how Federal versus State government works.

When a state has a problem, like a pandemic, they look to the federal government for answers. States don't have the money or resources to deal with those kinds of issues, but the federal government does.

The virus that came to New York, came from Europe, not China.

The state asked the federal government what should they do. New York followed Federal Guidelines.

I don't know what else to say.

Cuomo says New York followed federal guidelines when sending coronavirus patients to nursing homes

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office deflected questions about a report from The Associated Press that the state sent more than 4,500 patients recovering from coronavirus to nursing homes by saying they followed guidance from federal agencies.

It’s not going to be free. You pay for healthcare now and you’ll pay when healthcare is provided to everyone. Instead of you and your corporation paying blue cross you’ll pay medicare.

View attachment 423555

What corporations, agencies, or institutions???

They'll be nationalized for the Great Reset to make everyone equal.

Why would a government owned corporation, agency, or institution, be paying for medicare or blue cross?

So after the Great Reset everyone will be equal and $15.00 an hour sounds like reasonable wage for everybody no matter how educated or where they went to school.

It's free!!! So don't worry about what you get paid we're all the same.

*****CHUCKLE*****

But what about the people who dont want to work? Do they get purged of the system?

You'll have to ask the people in charge of the Great Reset.

I'm sure they would never imagine killing off the population or forcing them into labor camps.......

.......After all they have rights too!

I'm sure that if they feel they can sit around and play video games and eat sushi all day that's a form of equality.

Stats are just not your friend

Mostly false: “Crime in Germany is up 10% plus since migrants were accepted“

In mid-June 2018, US president Donald Trump tweeted that the crime rate in Germany rose by more than ten percent because of the immigrants who were allowed into the country in recent years. Is this just another speculative Trump-Tweet or a disconcerting development? Since the beginning of 2017...

eufactcheck.eu

The statement of Donald Trump is mostly false. The number of crimes has been decreasing for the past three years. The development “since migrants were accepted“ shows a decrease of 3.7% from 2015 to 2018. With regard to offences against personal freedom, we do not see a ten percent increase in this period. There is a ten percent increase in the sector of offences against life but the high level of 2018 is due to a single terrorist attack in Berlin. The large increase of 40% regarding offences against sexual-determination could be attributed to a reformed legislation about what counts as such an offence: The numbers before and after 2016 do not allow a useful comparison. But in the years after the refomation, an increase of more than ten percent is found.
