    You are not even TRYING to make sense anymore.

    And, once again you are clueless concerning what the parties represented at various points in history.

    Somehow your ridiculous dabbling in history ignored the massive realignment that took place, with racists moving away from the Democratic party.

    Somehow you manage to ignore the changes in opinions that have taken place in individuals.

    Somehow you think a political party can eliminate state candiates.

    And, your nosense about monuments is just plain preposterous - totally ignoring the progression that has continued since the founding of America.

    Why so much emphasis on a mask that was never designed to prevent covid in the first place? It's sort of like ordering the blind to wear glasses, only to see them fall flat on their face.

    I forget what that is called. I learned it as a kid, but were going back 40 years.

    I think for the left, the mask is sort of their gateway to tyranny. If they can force you to wear a useless mask everywhere you go, then they can use that impediment to impede you from doing a whole lot of other things as well.

    I don't think they have the credibility to carry it on too much past that. Most people are starting to be suspicious anyway. I also think the BLM riots will dissipate pretty quickly.

    Sounds like the second coming of Jesus Christ with all His angels in a cloud of glory to remove the saved to Heaven leaving the wicked to reap that which they have sowed.

    Not quite. It is hard to eat with a mask covering your mouth. A mask doesn't impede screaming.

    That's why we have three branches of government. We have checks and balances. If the executive branch over steps its boundries and the legislative branch does nothing then they are culpable.

    We are talking about the state and local government ordering behavior, not federal government. A proclamation by a governor or mayor has no checks and balances. That is the point.

    Might you cite the authority any governor has to order the citizen to wear a mask?

    State governments also have three branches. Checks and balances do exist at state level. Governments are still, believe it or not, run by the people. If enough people have a problem with a governor's proclamation or executive order they can effect change. Enough letters, emails, visits and threats of recall to your member of congress, be it state or federal, can make a difference.

    I haven't seen any gubernatorial or mayoral decrees face any checks and balances. I don't like consequences for a political decree but I'm not really a friend of government. I guess it is what it is.
