And I'm guessing that's how long they've been trying but have failed. Why? Because that's not what freedom loving Americans want and they fight it.
"FREEDOM isn't FREE!"
History ALWAYS repeats itself. You've already acknowledged that there is no true Democracy in America anymore.
Stealing our 13 God Given rights under the "guise" of a crisis is pretty smooth move in my opinion. But that's why we study history so we can pause and say....wait a second...what's happening now...looks a helluva like what happened during the holocaust.
And we know we have been lied to already about how bad the corona virus is, how deadly IT is. So first, they scream "FIRE! We must shut down the world".
Then they proceed to steal civil liberties 1 by 1 because it's to save grandma.
"
Civil liberties are guarantees and freedoms that governments commit not to abridge, either by constitution,
legislation, or
judicial interpretation, without
due process. "
That's why you read Bill Gates using the words "quickly...quickly...quickly". That takes care of due process in a ginned up pandemic.
"Stop the spread". Social distancing is the one I have to give them proper credit for thinking up. It's a pretty damn smart mantra on how to divide and conquer a people. But we can look back now and see the lies and we can see that shutting down the world because a virus is spreading isn't the smartest thing in the world. It was probably the dumbest thing to do.
