You think Abbot and DeSantis made sure the people they shipped around the country were vaxxed first?


Why should they?

In any case, I do wonder why the places receiving the buses are complaining about it so much. I wonder why your post comes off as you being upset about it as well.

Both the news and Facebook have reminded me that it was 4 years ago we were in the height of lockdown fear over this thing. 4 years. Yet you still see some people wearing the masks. There were always a few who did before, mostly some Asians (masks were always a thing there) and some other people might have had some kind of issue. But now there are more. We have one guy in our building who wears not just a mask but a full face shield! The kind you would wear if you were grinding or cutting metal. I mean, really?! Are they that afraid of life?

The whole vax thing seems to have settled. There is the subset of people who will go get their annual booster of course. But for the most part those of us who said we did not need to get it have been proven right. The world did not end because we did not take a shot called a vax but was really not in the true sense.

The free coffee and pop stations in casinos are gone for good, as are the buffets. The casinos knew that was getting to be an out of hand money sink but nobody wanted to pull the plug first. There are more hand sanitizer stations all around, that one I kind of like. Many is the time I get a bit of something from touching this or that, nice to be able to clean up a touch. Though I do not sing the alphabet song as I do it to time myself like some articles suggested when this all was starting.

The reaction to it all was a life lesson to those of us who were smart enough to look at what was happening. Sadly it appears a descent to left-wing fascism in the USA is merely a matter of time. Might be 20 years, might be 100. But we are doomed. As it happens too much of the population will be cheering and asking for more and more rights to be taken away, about 30%. And additional 30% will go along with anything just to keep their nice houses and swimming pools. The remaining 40% will not be able to fight it off.


It's none of your concern nor none of your concern what mask or face shield or whatever someone else wears in public.

The world didn't end because those who didn't take the shot were in the minority in the civilized world. The ones who didn't benefited from those who did, and were immune system freeloaders. You're welcome,

Your anecdotal evidence is nice and all, but scientificaly means zilch.

Trump voters and Trump supporters don't get tocomplain about the non-existant "left-wing fascism", since they support an actual proto-fascist.

Doesn't mean I do not still shake my head in disbelief.

I didn't say "thanks."

See, I said it was anecdotal. But ask around and see how many more have such stories. All the proof you need is that the vaxers were the ones afraid of people not having the vax even as they themselves were vaxed. If a vax works and you have it you should have nothing to worry about.

Reality is it was probably more of a natural die-out of the virus than anything. Same as Spanish Flu and Black Death.

Really? What are some examples here? What was "fascist" about Trump? What fascist policies do Trump voters support?

Do you think that the Federal government should do their job and not abdicate their responsibility to handle border issues?

You do realize you are asking a guy who hated the POTUS who tried to enforce the border and supports the party that wants open borders?

Glad you stopped worrying about illegals.


I was mocking Ron's concern, Too many on the right won't even go after their own citizens anti-vaccine-ism, and they want us to worry about immigrants.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Who said that? I am asking what is wrong with busing them to the jurisdictions who elect pols who say they love illegal immigration and want more and more let in.

Same as I was mocking your hypocrisy. Again, NOBODY on the right is anti-vax. They are pro-vax choice. The left says "my body, my choice" when it suits them but stop when it doesn't. Same as they are when they claim they "support science."

What does a demonstration have do with fascism? Fact is same people who even care about Jan 6 would cheer on BLM if they had a demonstration.

Meanwhile the left wants to take away my choice in everything from cars to stoves to what I do with my body. They outright want to destroy industries they do not like. They want to steal my money to forgive student loans some people refuse to pay back.

They want the world to be genderless. They want to put governors on our cars for speed. They want to confiscate guns. They want to take our freedoms away left and right.
