Watch them [the left] fail. They are blind to the cataclysmic economic and fiscal damage lockdowns are inflicting on their cities and states.
But, they can’t/won’t back down. They respond with some logical fallacy such as, “How many people do you want to kill?” And appeal to emotion and non sequitur.
They have a mandate. They have their lying media propaganda arm. They have their lapdog academia (infallible imbeciles) and failed health care bureaucracy – Dr. Fauci – 40 tears on the job and blindsided by the China virus.
They stole the 2020 elections and seem confident they will repeat.
I call it a “tsunami.” Robert Morton, “That, my friends, is the light of the end of the tunnel. Just as the monarchy famously exclaimed, ‘after us, the deluge,’ in an apparent reference to the knowledge that the people would rise up following their reign, a right-wing populist deluge is destined to follow the current (Antifas, BLM, CCP, progressive) reign of terror. It may also happen much sooner than any of us anticipate.”

Typical of too many green types who see humanity as an infestation.
Of course the average American would be appalled by WEF’s tweet. But it’s encouraging that the backlash against WEF’s bizarre tweet came from a more rarified sub-group: Twitter users.
Only about 20% of Americans have a Twitter account, only 10% access it at least once daily. Most Twitter users are affluent millennials.
Too many people make the mistake of thinking that Twitter somehow constitutes a national conversation, when it’s actually only a much smaller substrate talking amongst themselves.
And even that subset of Americans— a subset that might be expected to embrace the hysteria peddled over climate change—looked at what WEF said and rejected it. That’s good news.
Graveyards are great for grass, worms and birds. For people: not so much.
Lefties are huge hypocrits. Here is but one article about the negative impact of all the masking (among other items) going on.

Lefties generally aren’t hypocrites. They are liars. They will say whatever they think will advance their agenda, which isn’t hypocrisy since their principles see nothing wrong with lying.
This is important to realize because they will never be ashamed of their contradictions. They are probably PROUD of their contradictions (ex. I am sure that Fauci is happy that he has lied about mask effectiveness, how many people need to get vaccinated, etc. since the result of those lies was his preferred political solution).
The pandemic lockdowns have shown how unthinking evangelical poverty can be just as bad as unthinking consumerism. People should not be owned by their possessions, but physical beings have physical needs. For most people a job is how they get the purchasing power to secure their livelihoods. You have be a producer before you can be a consumer. Also, you need to produce wealth before you can distribute it. It is easy for people with secure incomes to be caviler about how their actions impact those with a less firm grasp on their source of income and live closer to the economic waterline.
GregB:
Evangelical poverty is not for everyone (as all the old monastic founders insisted) and always admitted corporate ownership. The point was to mortify personal possessiveness, not deny physical needs. The productivity of the monasteries was occasionally a sore point with local farmers and craftsmen and a puzzler for the orders, who needed to support themselves and help the poor simultaneously.
Tom Byrne I agree. I was thinking more about all the SJW Catholic Social Teaching types who like to pronounce on everyone’s consumption but their own. That is why I said unthinking. If you take it too far you will collapse an economy. I’m more advocating for a sense of balance.
As much as I dislike the music genre of rap/hip hop there is a new bright spot speaking truth to the “new normal” bs. I discovered Tom Macdonald a few weeks ago with “people so stupid” and “fake woke” in his latest release “clown world” he says “people talk about leaving a better planet for our children, how about leaving better children for our planet” . Yes I agree how about leaving better children for our planet. Not the message we’re getting from the powers that be
