    This definition did not answer the question.

    What does being a liberal have to do with anything?

    It's not like we are under armed guard.

    What does it have to do with being liberal or conservative vs. just being responsible?

    I'm just going to assume it's the isolation talking and pre-emptively delete my own isolation-coping snarky post.

    I've already have 3-4 sprinkled around in the D&D, and it's still morning for me. :(

    If I'm not doing it for my old loved ones, I'm also doing it for the healthcare workers who have every right not to show up to work.

    I'm such a bleeding heart...

    You won't change his mind if Trump's lying mouth, narcissism, foul mouth, and inability to ever admit he was or is wrong about anything he does hasn't given him a reality check. It's the live and die hard core Trumpateers that are just like him, and living in their own bubble of toxic waste.

    you mean right and liberty to ingest pool and aquarium cleaners?

    or right and liberty to knowingly infect other people with a deadly virus?

    Where in the world did this come from? We have had nothing but good interactions on this site Deb. Very surprising.

    EDIT: Especially after I posted that I changed my mind 3 posts up

    It isn't a matter of being "fine" with it. I don't know a single person that is happy about it. People are making sacrifices because they do not want the pandemic to swell and kill millions of people, which is almost universally accepted by experts if there had not been proactive quarantine measures enacted and social distancing.

    People don't want to risk losing there friends and family members to COVID19.

    The only reason that the numbers are not massively higher is because we are shut down.

    I say this as someone that likes good trolling, but it's harder to take what you say seriously given post history.

    Instead of the boy who cried wolf, it's the troll who spoke candidly.

    Trolling is subjective. Conservative viewpoints arent appreciated here and that is OK! We are all rooting for this to be over.

    What seems un-liberal about following health restrictions for the good of all?

    Conservative viewpoints are appreciated, but not when they use lies. On either side frankly. A lot of conservatives on here bend the truth (to put it kindly).

    Also when you say you are surprised that liberals are fine with taking responsible actions to limit a disease, it sounds like you are putting liberals down.

    They are but you gotta shoot straight. If Trump says some bullshit call it out, if Biden says some bullshit call it out...if Congress says some bullshit well I think we all equality hate Congress at this point.

    Sorry. I posted from the prior page.

    As discussed, there is a huge difference between detaining people against their will (e.g. at the border) and following recommended health guides.

    I'm just tired of it all being liberals, vs conservatives. I'm just tired of extremists who condone anything and everything Trump does, because they are bleed and die Republicans.

    When do people raise the BS flag to leaders from their own party and finally say enough is enough? When do they just look at the leader as a man, and decide if they should keep condoning and supporting him when he belittles and name calls and bullies, like a teenage boy who wasn't raised to respect others? When do they finally lose trust and respect of a man who has lied about so many things that if each lie was a thread, then spun onto yarn it would cover the state of Texas?

    I just get tired of it. These debates make me want to argue points that frustrate me. Politics frustrates me, and reading this thread frustrates me. That's my own fault, and not yours, so sorry. Maybe your comment was taken wrong, and if so, I apologize. Maybe I'm just too tired of hearing excuses for a man I can't even call a man any more.

    Maybe I'm just plain angry at myself for voting for him to begin with. I just feel so stupid, betrayed, and disappointed. I have lost the quality that the Navy taught me, in supporting and Respecting the President. I've always done that, but I can't respect or trust a man who does and says things so much against the character of what I call a good man. Maybe I should just stick to positive vibes threads from now on. Debate threads stir up too many negative emotions from me, and again, sorry.
