You know there’s that saying with Joe Biden: just let him
talk. The man has insulted virtually every ethnic and racial group in the
country over his long career. The man has diarrhea of the mouth. He also backed
a bill that threw millions of black Americans into jail. If there is one thing
about locking people up, it’s that Biden is bound to make that a national
policy regarding fighting the coronavirus. No jail time, but house arrest and
nationwide mask mandates are coming. In an interview with ABC News’ David Muir
which is set to air Sunday night, Biden might have just wrecked his 2020 hopes,
and those for the rest of the Democratic Party. He’s for torching the economy
via lockdowns if the scientists recommended it (via ABC
News):

Former
Vice President Joe Biden said in an exclusive interview with ABC "World
News Tonight" Anchor David Muir on Friday that as president, he would shut
the country down to stop the spread of COVID-19 if the move was recommended to
him by scientists.
“I would
shut it down; I would listen to the scientists,” Biden told Muir Friday,
alongside his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., during their first
joint interview since officially becoming the Democratic Party’s presidential
and vice presidential nominees.
Biden
also criticized what he argued is the “fundamental flaw” of the Trump
administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic,
that the nation cannot begin to recover economically until the virus and
public health emergency
is under control.
Yeah, the same scientists who said that you can go out
and riot in support of left-wing causes because such activity is one of moral
urgency.
The same experts who added that the virus will not spread
in mass gatherings protesting the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis back in
May.
You see liberal protests make you immune. It provides a
shield or something. It’s not transmissible if you’re in a left-wing riot or
demonstration. This is a joke. It was always a joke. It’s why there is no more
credibility with lockdowns.
Also, it didn’t work. It didn’t do anything other than
torch the livelihoods of millions of Americans unnecessarily. And that’s the
point Democrats wanted to make.
That’s the damage they wanted to inflict in an election
year, hence the arbitrary extension of these lockdowns passed by Democratic
governors. The same group of clowns who forced nursing homes, housing the
elderly and infirmed, to take in COVID-positive patients.
You don’t need a medical degree to know that bringing in
people infected with a virus in the same building as those who are most likely
to die from any pathogen is a bad idea. This is where the most vulnerable
Americans live, so it’s no shock that nearly half of the deaths from COVID in
the US are traced to this policy passed by Democrats.
The Obama-Harris ticket is less than 96 hours old—and
they may have given Republicans a lot of ammunition to use against Democrats as
this election begins to ramp up. It may have screwed the party. Brad Todd, who
co-wrote the book The Great Revolt about the populist surge in rural American
that contributed greatly to Donald Trump’s upset 2016 win, said, “this is the
biggest break of the year for Republicans in this campaign year.”
“Every House and Senate Democrat needs to be asked right
now if they will back President Biden on shutting down the economy. Time for
the Fourth Estate to do its job on holding them accountable,” he added.
As some on social media pushed back on Todd’s assumption,
he noted that there is no one set of polling data that shows Joe’s ‘burn it all
down’ approach to stopping COVID is popular.
“There’s not a majority in any swing state to ‘shut it
down.’ People want commerce - and school - to go on, with precautions,” Todd
said. “That’s a provable fact. Only the Left wants to “shut it down.” Joe has
made a major mistake here - his biggest yet.”
End your livelihood or economic prosperity. Order versus
anarchy. The choice is quite clear in this cycle. Sorry, people who own small
businesses who built them from the ground up are not going to take to kindly to
‘you need to restart, sport.’
There are a little over 5 million cases of COVID total in
the US, with over 170,000 deaths, half of which attributed to the Democrats’
nursing home fiasco. The numbers don’t justify a lockdown. There’s also no
credibility behind it with the Democrats’ endorsement of BLM, leftist violence,
and mass gatherings to that effect.
Swine flu infected over 60 million Americans under
Obama-Biden and they depleted the federal stockpile of N-95 masks and didn’t
replenish it.
Democrats in 2020 are saying ‘hey, you may be poorer,
stricken with depression, thoughts of suicide, and members of your family might
have started to abusing drugs during the lockdowns, but at least you didn’t get
coronavirus’ is not a winning message.
‘Hey, your kids aren’t learning his year which will
greatly impact their childhood developmental skills that will have far more
serious and long-lasting impacts on their health than COVID could ever inflict,
but at least you didn’t get coronavirus’ will not play well with voters
either.
The Trump team is not stupid. They’ll weaponize this—and
it should be used relentlessly against Democrats. They want to destroy the
country. They have never been so explicitly clear about it.
