My reply to a site visitor on my previous post

TY, I had a big long reply , but somehow it got ate LOL. The jist was simple.
Without an accountability mechanism IE punishment or STICK, the leftist Govs have no incentive except we the people protests, to actually DO the guidelines in a timely manner. It is TOTALLY subjective based on stats we KNOW they can and WILL fudge, and then blame the delays all on Trump.
Trump did not give me enough tests, ventilators, masks, MONEY, etc. Now with out a hard deadline and a PENALTY (stick) they will stall, and or f it all up. They have nothing to fear, the people protesting NOW are NOT their constituents, their constituents are still working or getting PAID (teachers,, unions, govt, etc) The people protesting are ALL Trump voters who are about to lose their businesses and or HAVE lost their jobs.
These leftist Govs do not CARE about us, they HATE us, they WILL stall unless MADE not to.
Trump could have even put in a carrot for finishing ON or BEFORE the hard deadlines. No w they have NO incentive as long as there is food and Internet.
Trump listened to the weasels and put the FOXES in charge of the henhouse, what could go wrong?
Ask yourself, has ANY leftist GOVT EVER did anything on a timeline? Met a goal? Did it on time or under budget? Did it efficiently? Did it QUICKLY?
NO, and now you see the problems by using SUBJECTIVENESS based upon criteria that is a sliding scale, with little to NO penalty for fraud, graft, incompetence, stalling, or FAILURE.
All they WILL do is stall, and let we the people suffer UNLESS and UNTIL Trump MUST step in. But that will have wasted TIME we DO NOT have.
We are being used as PAWNS by the Govs in a HIGHSTAKES game of “chicken” A game they do not CARE if they win.
They WANT suffering, because in their minds it will hurt Trump AND his supporters, not them.
I WANT to wrong, I told people that on Q tree. Some just missed the POINT of my post, which was to point out a LOOPHOLE, a BIG one that WILL be exploited. Trump should have KNOWN better. That was my point, sounding the ALARM for what I KNOW will happen.
It ALREADY has. While Rep Govs were PREPARED and WANT to reopen and are BEGINNING to, dem govs are “planning” WHAT, it has been 35 days, you KNEW the day to reopen HAD to come, you did not even CONSIDER that…NO, of COURSE they didn’t, it is NOT what they want.
They now get to STALL, and keep their little game of POWER going, just not quite meeting the “gates” ALMOST THERE, we only need a few more WEEKS or MONTHS and we will get there, we want to be “safe” A never ending game of moving the goal posts, with no HARD end and accountability in SIGHT.
THAT is my problem. There MUST be a “drop dead date” on EACH gate, unless you demonstrate a TRUE rebound. If you miss the date, don’t have a CLEAR reason why, CONSEQUENCES from the FEDS, who CAN even REMOVE a Gov and TAKE OVER a state if they HAD too. NOW, all they fear is our protests, they can keep that up for WEEKS. Time we do NOT have.
Now, Trump COULD go back and FIX that error, but then we will have wasted TIME.
Look at Michigan, Whitmer THREATEND the people to EXTEND the lockdown BECAUSE they protested. The others, if that works, WILL follow. These leftists will not WILLINGLY or EASILY give up their total power they have now, it must be TAKEN or FORCED.
THAT is why there should have been PENALTIES for stalling or incompetence. Not ALL will do it, but MANY will, and that effects MILLIONS of people.
The new guidelines and criteria are RESONABLE. But, the arbitrary dates, and subjectiveness controlled almost entirely by people who either have NO desire or ABILITY to complete are NOT.
People attacked me ruthlessly for pointing out Trump made a mistake. I LOVE the guy, always have, so much so that I wrote a BOOK defending him, and have spent the better part of 4 years DEFENDING him. That means when I think he is wrong, I have the ability and right to point it out, suggest an alternative, and call him on it.
I did, and people called me everything to conceited, paranoid, fearful, stupid, and making it all about me. People I thought were my friends, they did not debate the merits of the post as you did, they simply attacked ME personally.
I appreciate your candor, and respect your opinion. I hope you understand my rationales, and even pass it on to those who don’t. I have enjoyed my time at Q tree, but after the viciousness I took over ONE post, I am going to be a bit more “judicious” in “sharing” there, and IMHO, or conceited opinion, that will be their loss.
Thanks again, I am still assessing like you suggested, so far, at least in my neck of the woods, it looks like I was dead right. I hope Trump addresses that QUICKLY. Time is not our friend. We do not have time to let these leftists run amuck and stall anymore.
