There are rumors that our Emperor Governor Pritzker, hallowed be his name and rotund be his body, is going to attempt Lockdown Part Deux this Autumn. Personally, I won't be shutting down unless it's ebola.
If the vaxxed start dropping like files as per the suspicions of Dr. Louis Montagnier and Dr. Delores Cahill, it will get interesting. We are caught between the Scylla and the Charybdis, because if the vaxxed continue to live mostly trouble-free lives, they'll keep pushing the vax, but if they suffer some instant karma, that's a whole lot of people maimed and dead, exactly as you are saying with the London Plague of 1666.
Here in Ontario we've never left lockdown since March of 2020. It's been eased at various points, but we've had to keep following a lot of the same rules for the entire time. I've given up trying to organize anything: to many people are eager to play along with the rules, and also to harass those of us who don't care to. My plan is to keep my head down until I can leave.
I know it sounds really harsh, but right now I'm hoping that the vax is as dangerous as the worst case scenarios suggest. It's definitely dangerous, so my initial hope of it being safe is already been proven impossible, and so now it's just a question of how bad. If it ends up maiming and killing a lot of people in the short run, at least it'll be over fairly quickly.
The nightmare scenario to my mind is one where it's not so dangerous that the vaxxed have to deal with it. This would mean that those of us who pay attention to the evidence for harm have every reason to avoid it, but the people making decisions will be able to double down on it, and a lot of people who got it will feel the need to attack the people who didn't, for showing them their own mistake, and everything will get a lot more nasty and a lot more tense. Right now, I think this is where we're heading, but I really hope I'm wrong.
It's too late for that: people are getting hurt already. The only question now is how many, and how badly? I prefer the outcome which leads to the least long term pain, which I think means a complete disaster has to happen this winter.
My guess is we, for the most part, won't see heinous effects in the near-term, but skyrocketing cancer rates in the long run. (Other problems where our benevolent overlords can feign ignorance also seems likely.)
That said, I doubt the vax madness will last longer than another two years, and in my opinion Biden's administration knows they've lost already.
I predicted a while back that if the Dems "won" in 2020, their party would soon go the way of the Whigs. That seems to be underway. Mostly the mask/vaxxers tend to be the salary class and the lower classes they force into vax-xing and masking. For instance, the neighboring business where I work is a bunch of maskturbators who force their housecleaners to mask up, even though said housecleaners are nowhere near another human being while they are cleaning.
The Dems are doing their best to insure they lose spectacularly. That's for certain. But going in history's dustbin? I can't see that because of how locked in the two-party Uniparty is. Ahem, unless, there's a, shall we say, severe disruption, which despite our overlords' odiousness, feels far-fetched. The American Right are too mellow for their own good.
True enough. The Dems had better engineer some more complacency though, because the more desperate times get, the closer we are to their heads landing on pikes.
While it does appear that the Democrat party has finally just let the mask completely drop and reveal their true feelings for America and its people, it's not like the Republican party is much of an alternative.
We got to see just how slyly they would crow about putting America first all through the 90s and 00s while selling America out to foreign interests. What I noticed in particular is that after the great recession, the Republican party went from being a party with a clear agenda with clear goals to being a total husk with no organization, no philosophy, and no backbone to do much of anything besides obstruct.
Even now it feels like the majority of Republicans are of that same see-nothing, think-nothing, and do-nothing mold. Worse, many are just wolves in sheep's clothing or empty suits who just hopped on board the Trump train out of expedience. All Cruz can do is talk about freedom and about Antifa while doing nothing of substance about any of it. All Crenshaw can do is look like a badass in an eyepatch while favoring anti 2A measures. Even Trump's boy Sununu in NH won't take a strong stance against CRT.
The Republicans have a golden opportunity but they themselves have been a shattered wreck for nearly 14 years with only one real hope of a vision that nearly half of them are trying to reject
