A Quick Edit: Please keep on mind that by the time you read this some things may have changed. If new things relating to this occur, there is a high chance I may continue this topic in a new post. Stay tuned and enjoy.
This post really should not need to be made, ever. I was working on two separate blog posts for you guys and then I saw something absolutely baffling. Like I was truly bamboozled. I want to say that in case anyone missed it, we are in the middle of a pandemic. And after reading a couple of articles from outlets like the BBC, the Washington Post, and Reuters, it really looks like some people really just aren't aware of this. People are really out here protesting. They are protesting a lockdown meant to save lives and help bring about a decrease in cases of the virus. And who are these people that are protesting? Sure some of them are those that have faced drastic economic hardships due to the lockdowns, but the bulk of them are just plain stupid.
Like I was already not vibing with this quarantine. But I accept it. It has to happen. But groups are really out here organizing protests to liberate states. Liberate from who buddy? huh? Like these people were voted in, there wasn't no damn coup. The only thing you guys are liberating are yourselves from the ability to live. I remember a quote from a protestor, a white woman in her 70's who said she cant get the virus, she's healthy and exercises! Oh boy! That's all it takes huh! So those 2.5 million people that contracted it and nearly 200,000 that died from it (and let's not forgot the many more that haven't been tested) just fuck em huh. I guess they didn't follow your damn aerobics step up workout huh Karen? Oh and keep posted for a coming piece on America's new worst slur: Karen.
And don't get it twisted. While I can understand where those hit by the virus are coming from, this protest is still not the move. Gathering in masses and protesting the government, causing traffic jams, these aren't just worthless. They are straight up harmful. People like them are increasing the spread of the virus by violating social distancing and then on top of that by trying to convince others to do the same and "liberate" states. I'm gonna go ahead and say it. You absolute fucking idiots. Excuse my language but I see no way around it.
Anyways back to the stupidity of America. People really think that this virus isn't a problem. They think they're being heroes and it doesn't help that the right and Trump are backing them up. Just, why? Like what are you gaining buddy? Death? This lockdown is not an overreaction and these aren't crackdowns on your civil liberties. If you want proof, take a look and one of the 40,000 dead from this virus in the US alone. You disrespect them and their memories with these protests. And I know damn well that at least some of these fools will contract the virus and then blame the very government they protested against for not doing enough to help them.
Quick by the way here, below I'm linking the articles I read and where I got my numbers from. If I still messed some facts up please let me know and always feel free to disagree with my opinions.
