So you do know and you're withholding crucial information to gbatemp's World News, Current Events & Politics discussion, even though it's vital that we all know it.
And all of that happened under a Republican president and under two Right-wing parties. Equally, all of the popular social media platforms are run by right-wing Capitalists and corporations. Absolutely none of this is handled by "the left" and it's strange that you go through so many hoops to avoid these facts just to blame some imaginary "left." Once again, making shit up to be mad about it. It could all be rather "Nazi-ish," but that would only prove the Right is far closer to Nazism than you are willing to realize. Of course, the reality is, there shouldn't have been a reason "force" people not to spread a highly contagious virus. It should be said that people should have realized that the rapid spread of covid is kind of terrible. I am sorry you don't believe in science and decided to make it worse for yourself.
We have both, a democracy and a republic as we have elected representatives. As a nation, we have a mixed bag of different political philosophies and practices, we aren't just a republic.

Voter suppression is always extremely heavy in red states, especially in minority heavy districts.
The military industrial complex wants the minimum age to serve to be as low as humanly possible because they want to groom the uneducated and poor into either A) killing minorities to get the MIC money or B) getting the MIC more grant money while turning said people into cannon fodder.

In the mind of a republican, any opposition whatsoever is leftist. Trader stubs his fucking toe and blames leftists.
Trump never locked us down or forced us to wear masks or forced to jab us. That was all governors, mostly Democrat governors.
The current Democrat government is telling social media companies who to ban and censor. That is the definition of fascism.
Trump wasn't demanding people be banned from social media while he was president.
Virologists wear self contained suits. If you think a cloth or paper mask is anywhere as effective, you have mental problems. Show me the science that says that cloth and paper masks that people pull out of their pockets and purses prevent viral spread. You can't do it and say that I am anti-science. You really do have mental problems.
We have a republic. It's always been called a republic and it will always be a republic. I can't help that you are a republic-denier.
Did Biden go backward in time to start the lockdown and the mask mandates? Many of the mandates were enforced by private businesses and corporations. These mandates were also happening in Red states as well and weren't just pushed by Democrats. You are ignoring the Red states. You weren't forced to take the jab, there's no law or exclusive order forcing people to get vaccinated. There was a push towards either getting vaccinated or regular testing but that was shutdown.
Biden isn't either and no one in the government should because that would be a violation of the 1st amendment. The closest you have to that was Biden denouncing misinformation being spread. This is something he should do because misinformation about vaccines is being spread like wildfire through social media. But he did not push for people to be banned for spreading misinformation. If he did, then provide the source.

You are anti-science
So voting under a republic suddenly means we don't also have a democracy? I didn't deny that we aren't a republic but that doesn't change the fact that we still have a democratic system in place for electing our representatives.
This is absolutely ridiculous. You didn't even tell me how long it takes for each Republican politician to take a shit in the morning. You're derailing the thread at this point, on a serious subject which has to be posted about in a matter-of-fact manner. Here you are talking about how you think you're smarter than every scientist and doctor in the world, and claiming democrats are fascists, and yet here you are, being a fascist by denying me my right to knowledge.
You really do suck at this trolling thing. Be better.

Biden forced the military to take an experimental jab. If you cared, you would have remembered that. And yes, there were a couple RINO governors who locked down, but for the most part, it was Democrat governors. It was interesting to watch from Florida while not masked, living life normally and unjabbed.
Who do you think runs the FBI and DHS?
You want to call the US a democracy. That is insincere and a lie. We are a republic. Always have been and there is nothing you can do about it.

Is it convenient that any Republican who isn't as extreme as you is now a RINO. Even though they voted red through and through?
And Trump voted both blue and red in the past.
Just saying...
I can see you don't understand how the military works as they are under orders from the president and everyone above them, something they consented to before joining. They should get vaccinated, why would we want weaker troops? Covid can leave long-term issues if contracted and the best means of preventing those issues is being vaccinated. I fail to see how mandating vaccinations for people we went in the best shape is a problem. There's no evidence of the vaccines causing long-term harm compared to the evidence of covid leaving long-term harm. Of course, you believe Republicans who actually slightly care about their people are "RINOs." Using Florida isn't the best example since it, along with pretty much every Republican state, is still suffering pretty badly from Covid

Are they pushing for people to get banned for spreading misinformation or is this just you getting mad about made-up shit again?
What I literally just said
So either you didn't read what I said or you are just disagreeing with me for the sake of disagreeing.
Is it convenient that anybody to the right of Stalin is always extreme with you people? Are you even old enough to know who Stalin was and how many Ukrainians he killed?

You idiot. How many times have I said I am a veteran? I'm positive I understand the military a lot better than you do.
You idiot. I live in Florida and everything is normal here.
Go read the court documents. For you info, the government cannot infringe on anybody's freedom of speech. And last I heard, misinformation is not illegal.
I disagree with you because you say dumb things.
You probably do know better about the military or Florida life than I do but that doesn't discredit anything that I had posted. Your comments don't seem to line up with reality and can only be assumed to be your own personal experiences and opinions, something I literally don't care about. Please provide evidence to counter what I said.
Post the documents then
Ok, but that doesn't mean I am wrong as I pointed out just how the country works. We literally just went through an election, is that not a democracy?
You also didn't address a rather interesting detail
Your claim
Your claim
The reply
Why ignore links that don't agree with your worldview? It's rather anti-science to ignore information when given.
i dont even know who you are!

we should really audit them then to make sure, crist might have won if that bastard didnt voter suppress, much with president of earth, abrams.
Oh no, what a burn.
Trump has always lost money, because everything he does is crooked and dumb. Whoever thought he should be president, is even dumber.
Trump tried to make money out of being president, just because he failed does not change that. He also tried to make money for his "friends". They did better because they aren't as dumb as he is, but they are thankful for your money.
Formula 1 drivers wear a six point harness, a seat belt in a car is less effective. Are you saying people have mental problems if they wear a seat belt?
BTW masks mostly stopped the droplets leaving your mouth to help reduce the spread. If someone infectious wasn't wearing a mask and breathed out and then you walked through the air then it would end up on your clothes and would likely be transferred to your face later on. That is the science behind mask wearing.
Trump downplayed covid19 because he didn't want it to look bad on him, he was prepared to let YOU die so that he wasn't disadvantaged. He knew how deadly it was, but he also knew how insane his supporters are. He only needed to appeal to those supporters who would survive, who's cognitive bias would be proven right. The dead supporters would be dead no matter what Trump said.
Trump and his supporters do have a mental illness.
