Always Start with the Assumption the Media is Full of Shit
As with the Trump “fine people” BS and other media-created myths, Dems will use the “border patrol whipping immigrants” lie for the rest of our lives.

Since I work mostly from home, I personally don’t have to wear a mask. So when I rail against mask mandates, I’m mostly standing up for school kids and service employees forced to wear their muzzles 40+ hours per week. I won’t rehash all the negative physical and psychological effects of constant mask wearing, but I want to speak to a common liberal counter-argument, which is to say it’s a “minor inconvenience,” or people who don’t want to wear one are “crybabies.” First, I’d submit that the vast majority of people who use this argument rarely ever need to wear a mask themselves, and if the only time you need to wear a mask is when going grocery shopping or something, then physically, yes, it isn’t that big of deal. But this is about principle. The facemask has become a cult-like symbol of unquestioned obedience to the government, even when the politicians in charge bypass the Constitution to make their own rules. I would say to liberals, what if every time Trump spoke, you had to get down on your knees, bow, and pledge unconditional obedience? It really doesn’t hurt you physically to get on your knees for a few seconds, so don’t be such a crybaby!
The facemask stopped being about science or Covid long ago, if it ever was. As with other Covid restrictions, it’s now a forever thing unless we stop it. If you have doubts, answer me this, have you heard ONE government official give some end-game metric for when we can go back to normal? In other words, if we reach a milestone percent of vaccine or natural immunity, if positive cases drop below a daily number, or if any other tangible number is reached? There will ALWAYS be another excuse–not enough vaccinated, a new strain, winter is coming, etc. We’ve surpassed 18 months of life in Covidistan. If you’re not convinced this is forever, give me a time frame when you will change your mind — 2 years, 5 years, 10 years? Write a date down on paper. After we surpass that date and are still subject to a medical police state, maybe you can then face the truth?
Virtually every Democrat has whined about hypocrisy and unfairness in Amy Coney Barrett getting appointed to the Supreme Court in an election year. Never mind almost all of them said the exact opposite when Obama nominated Merrick Garland. Clearly, there is hypocrisy on both sides, but the system is really working as it’s designed — checks and balances. Barack Obama was able to get two far-left justices confirmed prior to 2016 (Sotomayor and Kagan). Those appointees, Obamacare, and other actions in his presidency led to a Republican red wave election in 2010 and the eventual takeover of the U.S. Senate. In other words, the American people were voting to STOP further Obama damage; it was a check to balance out Obama’s freedom-crushing power. Liberals are worried the new Supreme Court makeup will overturn Obamacare, but they wouldn’t be worried if it wasn’t so obviously unconstitutional. And it’s not as popular as the media likes to tout in occasional polls (which are about as reliable as election polls). Flashback to January 2010: Obamacare passed in the Senate in unfinished form with the understanding the House would fix its obvious flaws and send back. Democrats held a 60-seat filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, but this became 59 seats when Ted Kennedy died, so a special election was needed to fill his Massachusetts seat. In one of the most liberal states in the country, Republican Scott Brown won a stunning victory almost entirely on his promise to vote against Obamacare. Without that 60th vote, Obamacare had to go through in the flawed, half-baked state even most Democrats thought needed to be fixed.
Donald Trump’s election, along with the 2018 increase in Republican Senate seats, were both building on the desire of the American people to put a check on DC’s erosion of freedom, along with Supreme Court justices making laws rather than interpreting laws. Threats to “pack” the Supreme Court by adding justices completely undermines its legitimacy as both parties can do it when they’re in power. I’m thinking Trump should float the idea of adding 3 more justices now to increase the conservative majority even more. Maybe then the media/Democratic party will actually think through how ludicrous the court-packing idea is.

Liberal fascists can’t even tolerate a non-political post praising both liberal and conservative women.
