Wow with these comments. You going to the gym is not saving the economy. Yes, we can't shut everything down but you'd think the article was about shutting down grocery stores or the stock market. And by not doing your part, your whole community could be stunted for 2 years. Also congratulations for not caring about a 1 in 200 chance of death (pretty high by the way) because you're healthy and passing on the risk to some vulnerable person (probably your parents or a school teacher) with a 1 in 10 chance of death. You might be helping your personal economy, but you're not helping "the economy".

- give up a few luxuries especially if they involve heavy breathing or eating in close quarters.

- Work from home if you can

- Socially distance

- Wear a mask when you can't socially distance

- Go to work if you need to. Don't go to other people's work if you don't need to

- Support temporary benefits to your fellow citizens as you helpfully avoid going to their place of work.

Consider it getting into "good trouble."

Sugar is an addictive poison. These products should be outright banned. Folks can make wonderful pastries at home.

That is an ideology and a rather twisted one. We were over this when people were opposing anaglesia and anaesthesia. Wanting people to suffer needlessly is a bad thing.

What I've noticed about your reply is that you didn't actually mention a policy achievement but a reaction to a perceived change in the country. It doesn't sound like your life is better. It sounds like you're worried about dramatic change even though the last four years has been tumultuous.

If that's the case, why do you want to vote for four more years of that?

More questions:

Why are you afraid of the left? What outcomes are you afraid of in particular?

The Trump administration has deployed federal forces to states that have not requested asked for any help. Do you believe this is necessary? And if so, why? Do you worry what precedents this sets for the left should Democrats take the Senate and White House?

What do you think about DeJoy's decision to functionally slow the speed of the Post Office?

How do you find Trump's handling of the coronavirus in comparison to leaders in Europe and Asia?

How do you think four more years of Trump will improve your life?

I know its late but I'll add:

I'm afraid that the history of my country will be permanently revised and that my children will learn the revised version instead of the patriotic one. I fear I'll have to correct everything they learn about history and language.

I'm afraid that the public school system and the universities will convert my children from happy and productive citizens into angry activists.

I'm afraid that a portion of most products I buy will wind up supporting causes that are detrimental to my own interests, as the left has somehow gained control of the board rooms of major corporations.

I live in a dark blue state under lockdown and I fear we'll never truly be freed from it. I worry that the left will once again dispatch extremists to my neighborhood because of some unpredictable future event that sets them off.

I believe the left hates men, boys, white Americans, and Christians. I'm most of those things and you couldn't induce me to vote for a Democrat even if you paid me FIRE money right now.

I know that only answers your first question. I don't know who DeJoy is. I don't care about the post office. And I don't care about his response to the virus. In my opinion, the government has no role to play in virus handling.

I don't support the president because of his polices. I support him because he opposes the left. The only thing he could do to lose my support is to cave into them.

Please don't take this as an attack because I really am curious:

Did you watch the full Axios interview with Swan and what were your thoughts on it?

Press2forEN · 5 years ago
I've disengaged from the news since shortly after COVID started so I had to DuckDuckGo what you meant. I see a 38 minute interview on YouTube that I could watch, but unless in it he announces his support for abolishing the police or canceling American history, I doubt it would change anything.
