The world will not end no matter who wins, the things that are concerning would be wars the US could get involved in and maybe strife after the election no matter which side wins. But realistically if you dont get yourself involved then you will be just fine. Live your life without the doom and gloom, its the media getting clicks.
Unless you are a woman or a minority or disabled or poor or an immigrant or not Christian or ...
What do you think they will do to those people, and how would they do it?
Remove every possible right... They have already stopped women from access to abortion and are going after contraception and divorce
So... all the unnecessary covid deaths didn't affect anyone really? As long as you survived that is?
The reaction to covid cause more deaths than any lack of reaction.
Numbers say otherwise. Imagine being this blind to facts!
Cool, how many people died due to lockdowns and other mandates? Or better yet, what was the net years of lossed life due to the lockdowns (including those that didnt die but have shortened lives)?
Dude. I am not even going to discuss this with you. You can believe whatever you want. I am just telling others that you are wrong. Enjoy

So there are two things going on here; the first is that you think more rights should have been taken away. The second is that this is a one dimensional analysis and it doesnt consider the impacts of what was done.
Its like if you want to win a lifting competition and you take steroids. The end result is that you do well in the competition but you also have to consider the results of taking the steroids. Studies like this ignore the extra results.
You can believe whatever you want, my friend. I still remember the lines of trucks taking corpses away and the morgues not being able to keep up when the rest of the world managed quite a lot better. Even now Covid is much less of an issue everywhere else.
If you think lockdowns caused more deaths than that, but were never reported on, or that vaccines and lockdowns were more deadly, then you go ahead and do just that.
I didnt say anything about vaccines, I am talking directly about lockdowns; vaccines are another completely different discussion.
And its not about what I believe its about what the actual impact of a policy is. Do you at least recognize that people were harmed and died due to lockdowns and other covid policies?
