These words from Jeff Childers - author of Coffee & Covid, an email I open EVERY day, give me hope for the future - and insight that I think is
helpful for us to read. "The lockdowns began in China, and they are ending here in the U.S. And when the U.S. ends the pandemic, it will roll out to the rest of the world, including China. The pro-lockdowners here in the U.S. have incentive to end the worldwide pandemic. It can’t exist elsewhere but just not here. The trick will be in the packaging, so that Biden and the democrats can claim the credit. And it will work, too. Biden is going to get a huge boost in the polls when he announces the pandemic is over. It’s inevitable. People will be so relieved, and the economy will be so encouraged, that he is going to benefit from a social, political, and economic renaissance, and any number of democrats will see their electoral chances jump. Take away the desperation that a lot of people feel for their kids and their livelihoods and inability to travel, and they will be grateful to get out of politics and just get back to normal life.
It will totally change the calculus of the 2022 midterm elections.
You will be tempted to feel bitter about it. Don’t. Do not. If, as I expect, it happens, CELEBRATE. The temporary loss of political advantage is a small price to pay to escape from this totalitarian black hole we’ve been sucked into. The right way to view this is that it is a chance to use our newly-recovered freedoms to make change, and to make sure this never happens again. The right way to respond is to NOT go back to pre-pandemic normal and to not forget about politics and to not just go back to working on our private lives.
If the pandemic ends next month, and I hope it does, it will be time to start the accountability phase. All the so-called public health experts who destroyed lives and economies will need to be held to full account. And guess what? The democrats will not protect them. Why should they care? The public health experts who led the pandemic are expendable useless idiots.
The next phase for us is a county-by-county rescue mission to permanently change the character of the country to ensure freedom and liberty for generations of future Americans. And to perform surgery on all the various problems that existed before the pandemic but which the pandemic has fully exposed. I’ll be writing about all this a lot more, soon, once it becomes clear that we ARE headed in the right direction into the next phase.
So keep the faith, be encouraged, and have a wonderful Wednesday. More tomorrow."
