Even The Flu Is Political-

How long do you suppose it will be before the left starts forcing things to cancel or be closed?

I don't mean to minimize this thing, but it really seems to me that the left in particular is kinda going overboard. Just like they go overboard during any other crisis situation.

When there is a shooting - they call for gun control before the dead are at room temperature.

When the president makes a phone call, they deny thaat transcripts are real and make shit up.

When their candidate loses, they make shit up and try to impeach the winner.

When a storm is brewing, it's named the storm of the century and reminded that if we would simply adopt an 1850's life style, everything would be fine.

This time its illness. Cold and flu season is at least as old as I am. I remember people getting colds and the flu for as long as I can remember. Sometimes it was reportedly worse than other years. Do you remember the swine flu epidemic - 2009? I don't either - not really. I mean I remember hearing about it. I looked it up and I guess Obama's CDC never did a complete synopsis of it. But later they estimated that between 7,070 and 13,930 deaths were attributable to H1N1 flu from April to 14 November 2009. And nobody panicked. Life went on.

But, Trump is the president now. And they never will let a crisis go to waste. All kinds of stuff has closed down and been cancelled already - and you know it's pressure from the media and the left. And, it's having the desired effect - hurting the economy - Trumps trump card.

So, how long before they try to legislate forced closings, behavior modification for all of us, to stick a fork in the economy, once and for all?

Meanwhile, the right wing is saying this is just the common cold. So when the bodies start piling up in the street, we can just call it fake news.

Right wingers also panic over stupid shit. Like how gay marriage was going to completely destroy the family. Here we are, five years later, and nothing has happened other than bigots are still trying to deny LGBT citizens their rights.

In other words, look in the mirror, hypocrite. You people like to catastrophize too.

I'm so happy that you refrained from hyperbole.
That would have only proven my point.

@Budwick Of course you won't take responsibility for the religious fanatics pearl-clutching over gay marriage ending the family. Here we are, five years later, and men and women are still marrying each other.

In other words, you're full of shit. Future generations are going to blame Republicans for politicizing a fucking medical emergency. If a meteor hits the earth, you people will say it's a liberal plot to create more refugees.
