Will the COVID Panic Turn to Conservatives' Benefit?
By P.F. Kelly, Jr.

A funny thing might be happening on the way to the end of the COVID pandemic.  As has been well documented, when the COVID virus spread across the country last year, blue-state governors responded with a large dose of authoritarianism, placing extensive limits on the lives of their citizens in the name of protecting them.  Rather than truly "following the science," liberal governors implemented remedies that had little scientific basis beyond the repeated assertions of experts that the measures were necessary to "stop the spread."

This blitzkrieg on the civil liberties of citizens, maintained with the cudgel of unchallenged "expertise," has been a nightmare for freedom-lovers in America.  Government has asserted new power over our lives and livelihoods in a way that was unimaginable only a year ago, with liberty seemingly on the run.  American life looks as though it's bending inexorably toward an authoritarian future, in which the progressive dream of altering the relationship of the individual to the state in America is being slowly made real.

But is that the case?  Will the COVID pandemic end up being a net plus for progressives, who are giddy at this opportunity to force individual citizens into the authoritarian collective?  Or will it be a net minus?

If the morons that voted Rodents, and their dead uncles, cousins, etc, were going to upset with how the Rodents have been manipulating their feelings over this Kung Flu garbage, they would have voted for someone else.

They voted Rodent anyway, and the Rodents and their voters are famous for instantly forgetting everything inconvenient before the next election.

Won't surprise me if Cadaver Cuomo is re-elected in a landslide, too.

Rodents are always going to be stupid that way.

That's what comes of residing far on the left side of the intelligence bell curve.

Only if we have a mutation that affects Democommies only.  Sad fact is that most older people are Republican, so I suspect Republicans are dying from this virus in greater numbers.
