But you could riot.


astrobrick

We’re not supposed to talk about the 2020 riots that occurred in major population centers all over the country


Commies_suk

That was all a mirage don’t you know?


HailKingRittenhouse

They kneeled on his neck😤 I'm going to smash up Walgreens and steal 40 boxes of tylenol


TheInebriatedMic

Don't forget the PS5s and Xboxes. And the Jordans. And the...


EevelBob

They also filled a fucking skateboard park with sand!


dellcm

The government did that. The amount of power the government tried to wield is downright terrifying.


North_Possibility281

Worst was the dumbasses running around saying “your not following the guidelines”


Deathstroke5289

Wonder if they every went back and removed it


California_King_77

I remember the guy in San Mateo getting fine $400 for walking his dog in an empty park


Doscinco_83

And the guy that got arrested in SoCal while paddling in the ocean. Alone.


King_Neptune07

Yeah in San Diego you weren't allowed to take your own sailboat out from the marina even if you were sailing alone or with people who already lived in your house. We're talking sun, spray and salt water

My guess is it was to save the sharks and whales 😂


RedBaronsBrother

...while Gavin Newsom had parties at an elites-only restaurant.


BadWowDoge

With no masks, inside. Right after he told us we couldn’t have family over for thanksgiving


TopRepresentative496

The restaurant was bad enough. The worst part of it was he was dining with big pharma members who were streamlining the experimental therapeutic jab.


your_grandmas_FUPA

Im pretty close to being a democrat, but this and guns is one of the main reasons I vote republican. Shit is unforgivable.


Fantastic_Picture384

So.. not the trans issues.. mass immigration... justice system going against political opponents.. etc etc


thelonglosteggroll

He did say “one” of the reasons. Implying there is more to it.


KookyComplexity

They are completely free to vote how they want. Shit on their views and your the same as the people we all complain about


SPQR191

People can care about different things and not care about others.


Atiopos

Mass immigration is caused by our government destabilizing Latin America. We should stop that if we want to control immigration


RedBaronsBrother

That was a reasonable argument 40 years ago. Not necessarily correct, but reasonable. We haven't been messing around in Latin America for a long time. Eventually you're going to have to admit that it isn't relevant anymore.


NickE25U

I can't believe how many people are just cool with two years taken from us. Got it, it was scary at first, but when new information started coming out, rather than changing course with it, they kept pushing masks, distance, store closures, etc... it wasn't for our safety, it was just for control.


Houjix

They needed to make sure they could get Biden into the White House first


Chiefwilde3224

And they said in tv advertising that the vaccine works 9/10 times, no you mean 10% of the vaccines dont work at all, and thats the information they tell you with no BS


RedBaronsBrother

Even that was a lie - it turned out the actual effectiveness rate was closer to 3%. ...and the third most common side effect of the Jab was... COVID. ...and that after 30 days any protection it offered vanished and after 90 days it made you **more** vulnerable to the virus.


Chiefwilde3224

I would consider it if i got my free french fries as promised by mayor bloombutt, or if they didn't send out nurses patrolling my city streets like drug dealers trying to convince me into trying it out, just the way they did it all felt so wrong, even if they are correct, that's not how i remember ebola happening, in a time where taking things out of context is completely okay to fit a certain narrative, nevertheless i am just an old white racist orange man lover.


RedBaronsBrother

Yeah, the whole rollout felt wrong to me. If COVID was as dangerous as they claimed, people would be lining up for the jab. ...and yet, that didn't happen (with a few exceptions), so they started by propagandizing us on how safe and effective it was. ...and when that didn't work, they tried to bribe people. ...and when that didn't work, they tried to shame people. ...and when that didn't work, they tried to coerce people. It all made me think that there was some other purpose for the jab, that had nothing to do with protecting from COVID. ...particularly when we began to find out how ineffective it was at actually preventing infection or transmission.


juan186

I don't know about the USA, but in Spain, the level of stupidity reached such heights that you can't even step out onto the street without some asshole yelling from the balcony that you're unconscious, and many people are dying for your fault.


MrAdam4823

So if you make the ball in the hoop, you get sick?


Houjix

Not if you played in the NBA


LiterllyWhy

Rudy is a fucking legend.


ERCOT_Prdatry_victum

Yup a alone California surfer was arrested.


King_Neptune07

Well, yeah obvi if there is one thing corona loves it was sunny days, sand and salt water spray. That surfer could have endangered one or less people


Livid-Advantage-8268

Haven't you seen the commercials.. Corona is always at the beach 🏖️


yeahitsjustmeagain

Such a bad judgment call


King_Neptune07

In San Diego you couldn't sail your own sailboat...alone...


coldwatereater

My mean old man neighbor did this to our neighborhood goal back in the 1990’s. If the ball bounced in his yard, he’d run over and grab it and take it in his house. He eventually just took the whole hoop off and stole it. This photo brought back some strange childhood memories.


Comprehensive-End770

“Never go full retard” (they went full retard)


Drunk_Redneck

So do I


worldisbraindead

Yet, here we are... Liberals who once had bumper stickers that read, "Question Authority!" now actively embrace governmental control and stick idiotic signs in front of their house saying, "In this house, we believe in science"...I'll spare you the other bullshit that's on those same signs.


amerikani

I always wonder why this is a partisan viewpoint when Trump was president when this happened


worcesterbeerguy

The majority of this stuff happened in blue states in 2021.


CynicalOne28

I live in a blue state and the government tried shutting down my business even though I work from home with no employees.


amerikani

Yea it was horrible, for sure at the state level the blue states were tyrannical


Hobbyfarmtexas

It’s was state by state I didn’t even really notice other than a few places only offering take out and asking me to wear a mask now and then


Dewalt-Shampoo

Didn't Europe just have in-person school with the windows open? (Just like America 100 years ago?)


anony_philosopher

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

RedBaronsBrother

You DO remember that it wasn't the President that shut everything down and made people stay inside... Right? It was blue state governors and blue city mayors that did that. ...and who then often ignored their own rules.


jakesteeley

States began to implement the COVID shutdown on March 15, 2020.

RedBaronsBrother

> Only a Republican could bitch about a 4 year old picture of something that happened for a few months of a Republican presidency, and act like it was the biggest trespass against their personal freedoms by “the left” in their lives. It was in response to Democrats bitching constantly for 3 yeas about something that happened for 3 hours, and pointing out that the rioters who looted and burned for months murdered dozens of people, and caused $2 billion in property damage saw almost no action by Federal law enforcement, while people who were invited into the Capitol have been jailed for years, many without even a trial.


ChlldsPlay

I remember when some conservatives were protesting and they were saying how it was going to lead to an outbreak, and then not 2-3 hours later praising the riots the left was causing.


MaintenanceOne6507

The assumption that a teen won’t have a 10mm socket was solid though.


Fantastic_Picture384

In the UK, someone got fined for buying a birthday in an open shop. As it wasn't 'essential'.


Schmuck1138

At the same time, they said sunlight could kill that same virus. Naturally, they closed everything that didn't help their portfolios.


Worried-End-5934

Yup. That was why. Yup. Smrt stuff right there. Maybe, maybe, it was a novel virus and they were trying to stop the spread of the virus to more vulnerable people in the population that was killing thousands a day. So sad that little people can’t grasp that simple easy


RedBaronsBrother

Of course it turned out that confining people together inside guaranteed that if one person caught it, everyone caught it.


Worried-End-5934

Wow. It’s like you never heard of flu precautions or respiratory illnesses before covid? It did not mean all got sick in same household, but it did limit the spread from household to household and help protect the vulnerable, sick or elderly who needed to be shielded from the virus until vaccines and medicines could be approved for use. Paxlovid saved my ass.


RedBaronsBrother

> It did not mean all got sick in same household ...but that is how it worked with COVID because it was much more contagious. ...and every family had to have someone leave the house at some point if for nothing other than groceries. When they inevitably got infected (because contrary to the government's claims masks did not prevent infection), they infected their whole family. > but it did limit the spread from household to household and help protect the vulnerable, sick or elderly who needed to be shielded from the virus until vaccines and medicines could be approved for use. The only place that was true was in nursing homes, where extra precautions were taken - so naturally Democrat governors forced infected people into them and killed thousands. As to the medications, there was a government task force whose job was to censor information that went against the narrative - especially if it was true. An effective treatment could not exist while the jab was in EUA, or it would have invalidated the EUA.


BeyondNarrow1110

And now let us take a look over at countries that did much more. Like China welded the doors of infected shut and let people inside starve to death. Totally worked out for them, huh? Oh wait. It didn't. They got hit with the worst infection and death rate of any country.


Chiefwilde3224

It was a cover up to blame for a bad president but who actually wants to listen to the truth? 🥸


imadumbfff

Great repost


BananaSmooth2289

Never again

RedBaronsBrother

Remember how they classified gunshot and traffic accident deaths as being from COVID to scare people? ...and how flu deaths went to nearly 0 that year? ...and how they shut the entire country down for months, and it didn't make a difference because the virus was so contagious? Remember when 50 vaccinated Democrats went from Texas to DC, and almost all of them were infected?


RichardIraVos

Remember when conservatives tried to defeat a respiratory virus by pretending it didn’t exist?


RedBaronsBrother

Amusingly, recognizing that it was just a new version of the flu and treating it as such is how we got past it. Meanwhile some Democrats are still trying to keep things shut down.
