A crack here and a crack there and pretty soon the whole rotten wall is about to fall.
When the Atlantic has an article entitled “Open Everything: End Covid Mandates Now” on the same day that the Spectator has “Are Dems Finally Waking Up–or Are They Just Scared?” then even an idiot knows the jig is up. But COVID true believers aren’t regular idiots they are zealots. They are gonna howl and spit and throw a fit.
Any day now Dementia Joe is going to discover that the pandemic is over and the great pivot will occur. Suddenly he’ll be responsible for freeing the COVID slaves. Never mind that he fought tooth and claw to institute vax mandates and passports. He will be our savior. He’ll probably declare a day of Thanksgiving, “Thank Heaven for Dopey Joe” Day. Parades will wind between the barbed wire walls of DC and bureaucrats will line the streets (still wearing their masks by the way) and cheering the conquering hero standing tall in his Depends.
The question is will it be enough to get the country to forgive the Dems for ripping a couple of years out of our lives and especially the lives of our children and grandchildren? I’m guessing not. The midterms are very close and masked or unmasked, America still “looks like Yucca Flats after the blast.” Empty store shelves food and fuel at double the price of a year ago. The surveillance state investigating our every move. No, I don’t think the people will be in the mood to forgive and forget.
But Joe will give us one of his stuttering stem-winders that goes on for an hour about how great he is and how lucky we are to have him around. Probably they’ll start another round of arm-twisting Manchin and Sinema into supporting Build Back Better and kill the filibuster and the Steal Elections Bill. They’re not very original but they are persistent.
So, the Democrats can learn. It only takes six months of ghastly poll numbers for them to completely reverse “the science.” They’ll replace the old lies with new lies and turn on a dime. Fine, I guess if they’re also willing to unleash petroleum drilling and allow us to have reasonably priced fuel then the economy would revive. But that’s a bridge too far. They really believe in the Green Economy. It probably would be a leap of faith to believe that battery cars and solar panels are the cause of all their problems.
Good. That blind spot is perfectly positioned to lose them the mid-terms and with any luck well beyond that. But for today I’ll just enjoy the fact that the COVID madness is finally being called off. The stupidity and dishonesty have been maddening but even the Democrats finally recognized that they were holding back the ocean with a butterfly net. I’ll start making my plans for summer. I’ve been invited to go up to Yellowstone. It’s a bit of a stretch but I can only imagine the great photos I’ll take, unless I get eaten by a grizzly on day one. Well, that would be exciting!
Enjoy the day.
Enjoy Yellowstone it is beautiful. If I can read the future, we should have a Covid free summer. But wait! What’s that I see just after Labor Day? Its Covid Sigma variant! Run for your lives! It will be more virulent, more contagious and will require more draconian measures. Two months to flatten the curve! Lockdowns! Masking! A fifth and sixth booster! And, most important, we will have to eliminate in person voting. Its for the children! But don’t worry, Joe will use his emergency powers to mandate mail in voting and ballot harvesting. Heck, we may even get Internet… Read more »
If the Republican controlled state legislatures are stupid enough to let the feds steal the 2022 election then there’s no hope anyway and I’ll start drawing up the short list of places to live once Camera Girl is finished spoiling the grandchildren in a few years. The Czech Republic and Hungary seem like nice places.
Thank goodness the COVID science has changed so we can start returning back to normal.
It’s good to see the dimwits are running scared on COVID mandates. Now let’s see them reverse inflation. That would be a good trick.
I just saw a link to an article on Twitter where Fauci is now saying that we will never eradicate the virus, but that the pandemic is almost over and we will reach an “equilibrium” with the virus. Seems to me, you’re spot on with your take about cracks in the walls. Now, if only they had let it run its course naturally, the equilibrium would have been reached 12 months ago or more.
They stole two years from us. But even the most compliant are exhausted and will vote for something else if they keep this madness up any longer. So they’ll declare victory and end it. But we can use what they’ve done as a club to beat them with from now on.
