His theory (which makes sense) is that the governors of the populous blue states are keeping their states locked down with the intention of destrying the economy so that Trump won't be reelected.

Comments, please.

Comments, please.

would totally not be surprised.  Give the proles emergency free stuff and get them dependant.  Never mind the debt thing.

There's a graphic I'm seeing around in my Bookface.  Illinois, with Chicago and associated vassal counties marked off from the rest of the state ("downstate").  Totals for "downstate" are a miniscule and quite disproportianate precentage of those in Chicagometropolitanarea.  Nevertheless, our dear governor continues to be heavy handed.

Wikileaks, where are you when we need you.  Might be some interesting stuff in email exchanges out there.

How's Rush doing, anyway?  I know he had a cancer diagnosis.

He seems ok.  He's been off for two weeks,  at separate times,  for medical treatments.  The first time he had to get his medications adjusted as he was having a bad reaction.  More recently,  purportedly for a checkup on Monday and tuesday,  but then was out the rest of the week, and that was some undisclosed dental problem.

As far as his theory is concerned,  while I always thought covid 19 was a real thing,  I also always feared it would be used by Trump's enemies to hurt him,  and that many would happily crush the economy to do it.

The older I get the more I despise the political class.  I think someone on this forum opined that most politicians were sociopaths or psychopaths.

I would be hard pressed to show that idea was wrong.

We already know many of these people think the ends justify the means.  We also know many of them already want to destroy the economy in order to bring in their communist/fascist paradise.  This event is a win/win.  Destroy the capitalist economy and increase centralized power.

Enemies foreign and domestic.

They know what they are doing, they are traitors.

Don't blanch at my rhetoric. They hate you with a hatred you've probably never felt.

They are evil.

It may be a matter of purposeful destruction, but I think it more likely that this is just exactly what liberals do.

They live in the urban areas. Therefore, all the rules of the entire state will be built off of what the urban areas want/need.

Virginia is getting screwed. By that I mean the real Virginia, not the blue enclave that overwhelms the voting of the rest of the state.

Every day, I keep hoping that movement to make MOST of Virginia a part of West Virginia will happen.

From living in Illinois, I am well aware they are even worse off. A sea of red being ruled by a dot of blue.

If that's an organized plot, it's one that was a REALLY fine line.

The longer you keep places locked down tight, the more lashback there will be, and the more Trump can use that as a call to vote for him.

I wouldn't say it was organized.  Perhaps one of those "never let a tragedy go to waste" opportunities and they are overplaying their hand.

[WLJ]

I would say it's more of a case of them having a common goal which can often can give the appearance of an organized plot

Hmmm.... but even the democrats in Red States are doing this rubbish.

A local democratic mayor in my red state has instituted a nightly curfew... as if people driving through the city in their cars are spreading the virus, or that is somehow spreads during the night but not the day.   

[MechAg94]

They probably all watch the same TV shows and look at the same website.  That tends to spread the right phrases and slogans and it seems more organized than it is.
