That's not what I've "got."

You seem to be confused.

"Seems to me that some sort of middle ground might be a comfortable place to land, a position in which the state did NOT have unlimited power to coerce citizen behavior...

Your posts are becoming more like Psych's. Without distorting or putting words into people's mouths, you have little to no argument.

Your condemnation of the "demographic" that helped pass the Voting Rights Act and Civil Rights Act and then forced republican traitor Nixon to resign puts the lie to this statement of yours:

Weird isn't it? The parties/ideologies seem to have traded places..."

Because here we are half a century later and the "parties/ideologies" haven't changed. Democrats still have to fight tooth and nail to keep republicans from denying people, mainly blacks, their right to vote. And here we are again, fighting yet another traitorous republican president, wholly and totally enabled, by republicans.

Also, lulz.

t at least one survey shows that baby boomers, one of the demographics that is most at risk of COVID-19 (to the degree that the illness has been uncharitably referred to by youngsters as the “boomer remover”), are most resistant to changing their habits. According to a survey from the consumer insights company STAANCE that polled more than 2,000 Americans, baby boomers were least likely to worry about contracting the virus, with 43 percent saying they were concerned about it as opposed to 53 percent of millennials and 54 percent of Gen X members. (They did not survey people older than boomers, i.e., those born before 1945.) Only 19 percent of boomers reported having canceled a flight as a result of coronavirus, as opposed to 31 percent of millennials and 28 percent of Gen X’ers....

Yet for the most part, these boomers’ relative unwillingness to confront the reality of COVID-19 seems to stem from the same impulse that guided my worst decisions during my teenage years: They just don’t like being told what to do, whether it’s in their best interest or not. “When you’re 55-plus and 60-plus, you’re already limited so much by what society says you can/can’t do due to your age,” says Deanna Kugler, 30, a public-relations professional based in New York. Kugler says she regularly fights with her parents, who live on Long Island, about things like going out to dinner and traveling to special events. “There’s a huge stigma around boomers not knowing things, being able to do certain things — I’m sure they recognize that and think, ‘I can do anything!’ when really they should be cautious and staying inside.”...

The psychic toll of this refusal to take the virus seriously can be devastating for older people’s loved ones. Over and over again, millennials and zoomers recounted their parents’ and grandparents’ adamant refusal to take the virus seriously, not just in terms of the frustration it caused them, but also the desperation and anxiety. “A stalemate is definitely where we’re at now,” says Kugler. “They’re not going to change their minds for anyone, especially not their own kids.”...

What more could one ask of true Patriots than to give their lives for the economy?

Right, because you read all about it.

Yep.

Same as you.

Congratulations DC, you finally, maybe, kinda/sorta have a "point" that doesn't require you to lick Trump's balls to make it. I'm happy for you.

Except, you started your "point" slandering the "If it feels good, do it...demographic", and then changed to "Boomers". The "Summer of Love" was 1967. That means "the oldest Boomers" were 21 then. And while there were certainly some early Boomers who participated in the "if it feels good, do it" state of mind, the vast, vast majority were, like me, much too young.

On the other hand, many of the "Hippies", "if it feels good, do it" participants were pre-Boomers, and as such, were of age and participated in the civil rights movement, too.

Which is to say, the: "If it feels good, do it" and "Boomer" demographics are not exactly the same thing.

That being said, props for making all of those people here who pine for Gusher feel better, because resorting to ageism when you have little to nothing else to say, was always his ace in the hole.

I remember that flu--wasn't anything like the COVID 19 virus.

The thing I like best is that I was mostly just making fun of the fact that Geezer is a totalitarian at heart and is increasingly unable to hide it.

But you people -- you Floridians, in particular -- can't help but work yourself into such a lather over it.

Feral wrote: ↑Sun May 03, 2020 10:46 pm Just happened upon your additional work today in the "Who You Got" thread in the "Politics" forum, DC.

There's help available.

Best of luck.
