Wrong, if you had a competent federal government you could control it, and yes our federal government has the rights to enforce national security issues like this. The only opinion that is being had here is my faith in the American people, not the process of controlling the virus. THe process always works, as long as you have competent people putting out the process

How do you constitutionally do a "complete lockdown"? What expertise do you have that informs your supposed "8 week" figure?
The federal government has the rights and authority over issues of national security, you should know that trump has mentioned it many times. A highly contagious virus is the definition of a national security issue

Back to the topic of the thread:

An interesting point that people seem to be missing about yesterday’s events: the same political tactics that were used during the BLM riots (allowing them to go on without police intervention) were used in the nation’s capital to showcase the logical end-game of a lack of law and order.

Were the stakes significantly higher for this one? Yes, of course they were, and that’s the point. The takeaway of yesterday’s events is “here is a glimpse of the worst thing that can possibly happen when you don’t have law and order”. And what’s more, it puts the left in a jam. If they say that the lack of action to stop these criminals from breaking into the capitol building was a political tactic, then they are admitting that they did the same things themselves with the BLM riots. They’re saying that they allowed unrest and violence as a means to advance a political agenda. It’s quite the chess move.

Wrong as usual. No one from the left in politics told those people to go out and protest. IT was a collective action from millions of Americans that were sick of decades of racial injustice, and frankly many sick of the corrupt trump govt. IT was not orchestrated by anyone. No politician said go out and protest to keep me in power. They are completely different in every way. What we did see however is that blue lives matter doesnt mean a thing to the people who say it, proving it was nothing but a racist chant to counter blm. But yeah i iknow you have to pivot after you cant explain why the party of fiscal conservatism increased the deficit from 600 bil to 1.3 trillion in 3years

My point isn't about the reason behind the riots and break-in. Of course they are different. That's obvious and doesn't need to be said, or at least I thought so.

The point is about the political strategy behind yesterday's events. Please try to understand that.

What does BLM have to do with this thread or the events at the capitol?

Other than, you know, continual attempts on behalf of cultist traitors to spin and equivocate because their own positions, such as they are, are irrational and indefensible.

Keep pivoting. How about that deficit?

The political strategy was to try to keep a dictator in power and delay a constitutional process, which his lawyer aired on a misdirected voicemail. Sorry its hard for you to understand
