 Democrats Are Sacrificing American Kids’ Lives To Get More Power

If a child doesn't have to die to save grandma from coronavirus, why would we ever let that child die? A heartbreaking longread from ProPublica challenges the nation.

One year ago, when lockdowns began, Americans were told we had to make a terrible choice akin to the climax of the superhero movies in which a villain threatens two things the hero loves, forcing him to choose which to save and which to sacrifice. We were told that millions of Americans were going to die from a Chinese supervirus, and the only way to reduce that death toll from inflating even higher through overloaded hospital systems was to accept other kinds of suffering. Americans thus readily agreed to “two weeks to slow the spread.”

As cases steadily rose over those two weeks, as predicted and normal with infection curves, we were told those two weeks needed to stretch into four, then six. Then the alleged Sophie’s choice shifted.

As data began to come in showing that the majority of those dangerously threatened by COVID-19 were in their last years and months of life, the equation turned into selflessly sacrificing the young and healthy to protect the old and vulnerable. People who showed any resistance to perpetual lockdowns and civil rights infringements against the healthy were told they were “grandma killers” and racist would-be “mass murderers.”

We were told the only way to save grandma was to sacrifice everything that makes life worth living for everyone else. But what if this is false? What if the equation has been different?

What if our choice has been to have some limited power to protect grandma while letting the young and healthy live their lives freely, an opportunity grandma also had? In short, what if whatever was going to happen with the vulnerable mostly did not depend on what everyone else did, if grandma’s safety did not require sacrificing junior? And what if we could have predicted this an entire year ago, when it all began?

If that were the case, why would we add to a largely fixed death toll other kinds of incalculable human suffering, including unnecessary deaths from other causes? If a child doesn’t have to die to save grandma from coronavirus, why would we ever let that child die?

Why can't Republican politicians put what the rats are doing in such starkly accurate terms?

There are a few who do have that ability. Here is one of them, just today:

Nothing new.  Democrats have been doing that since the Johnson Administration.

They've murdered something like 20,000,000 babies so far, and most of them were black.

Then they say the labor pool is too small, so they need to import illegal aliens to vote for them.

I heard this. The only problem I have is Sen Scott inadvertently gives credence to the whole 'white supremacy' fraud. There is no threat from 'white supremacists' which is a ominous tag the left is pinning on patriots and any others who might object to their agenda.

On the other hand 'woke supremacy' is a real menace.
