The Conservative Cave

DU wasn't around in the Reagan and GHWB years, so those Presidents could not be Hitlers on DU.

When GWB's term as Hitler was expiring, McCain briefly inherited the Hitler title, and in 2012, Romney briefly inherited the Hitler title (paging laserhaas, paging laserhaas).

When Trump leaves office, DU will identify and howl at at least one "new" Hitler.

I should have said DUmmies in person not online during Bush 41 and Reagan lol

Marlow said about comments from Deborah Birx: “She’s saying that Democrat-led states, blue states over-closed during the pandemic in 2020 in order to send a political signal.”

The purpose, IMO, was twin: to look like they were doing something; to cause economic disruption people would blame on Trump.

Goobernor Noisome initially shut down everything not deemed "essential".Hospitals could only do the most essential procedures. Companies providing products and services to hospitals were deemed "essential". After a few months, that relaxed some, as hospitals were allowed to do some procedures that had been forbidden (e.g. my pace maker), but visitors to the hospitalized were still forbidden into January 2021 at least. When I was hospitalized in January, my family had to drop off things for me at an entry desk (I finished a book on Chinese history and read a book about the Pearl Harbor attack while hospitalized).

As the spring and summer 2020 anti-police riots accidentally demonstrated (and the officials who did nothing about the riots probably knew beforehand), outdorr activities, even with people in close proximity to each other, were almost as safe as being isolated from all human contact. The March 2020 shutdown of outdoor athletic events was not necessary, and at the latest, gooberment bureaucrats knew this by June or July 2020. Despite knowing this, SF Bay Area counties did not allow organized running events for another year, the first I know of having been run in June 2021.

I know of two organizers of running events driven out of business by the Covid shutdown, and another one or two that were unable to reorganize and recover. This is true of many small businesses (a Punjabi Indian restaurant near us took an extra year or more to rebuild its staff to the point it could do in-house service instead of just take-out).

Where did he think he was? An Antifa riot?

Now that the facts are incontrovertible, my maga family members are shunning me.

I guess it’s just easier for them. The damage the asshole has done to our country can hopefully be repaired over time. The damage he’s done to families is irreparably and beyond measure. Take him now Satan.

Does this mean you now have to scam your way onto SSDI or maybe get a job?

After President Trump leaves office and some new republican becomes the target of 'we cant handle being voted out of power so we're going to lash out every way possible'.

They either can not understand or can not accept that no matter how bad they paint the opposition, it doesn't make them look better.

The main problem for them, is that their opposition is generally sane, and they are not. You can stack an awful lot on top of sane, real or imagined or asserted or flung like poo, and sane is still more attractive and competent, than they are...and try as they might to change that calculation, they can not.

We've been around these parts for decades, and I'm old enough to remember when President George W. Bush and VP Cheney absolutely were Hitler 2.0.

If there were some honest college psychology professors who dug into the research, they could write a hell of a book about how deranged the left has become in the internet era especially. And why the visceral irrational hatred for President Trump. I didn't like the guy as a public figure, and didn't trust him when he first ran for President in 2015/16. But once I learned his policies and political beliefs, I became a believer. Not a cult follower, because he says and does some things that confound me.
