Nancy Pelosi Wants You to Sit Down, Shut Up, and Obey Government Coronavirus Decrees
Speaker Nancy Pelosi |
The Hill:
"That is really the answer," Pelosi said. "Testing. Tracing. Treatment. Shelter in place... But, you know, people will do what they do."
"The fact is, we're all impatient. We all want out. But what they're doing is really unfortunate," she said.
"There are some in some places, largely where there’s a Democratic governor. But I think of it largely as a distraction and the president’s embrace of it as a distraction from the fact that he has not appropriately done testing, treatment, contact tracing, and quarantine," she said on ABC's "This Week."
Health officials warn that the gatherings could inadvertently help further the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, and ultimately lead to an extension of stay-at-home measures. Many experts also say that the U.S. must have widespread testing availability and a contact-tracing program in place in order to safely reopen portions of the economy.
People are not protesting against Democrats as much as they're demonstrating against the growing power of government. Politicians are certainly not letting this crisis go to waste as they flex their muscles to bend citizens to their will.
Are we supposed to believe that politicians from small-town mayors to Congress in Washington are just going to give up this power once the crisis is past? Several states are using drones to catch people failing to adhere to social distancing guidelines. I'm sure local and state politicians will think of many uses for those drones once the crisis is past.
Right now, it's the right protesting, largely to get government out of the way and let people get back to work. But once this crisis has passed, it's likely that both left and right will find reasons to protest this aggrandizing power grab by government.
If not, then we owe Ben Franklin an apology, who told us that we had a republic, "if you can keep it."
Sorry, Ben. We couldn't keep it.
