Aristocracy's Hypocrisy

Your governor's spoken Now you've been woken To CV-19's pernicious spread 110,000 USA dead Stay in your homes Don't congregate To go back to work You'll just have to wait Folks die all alone now No visiting the sick Mosques and churches all empty Can't have a virus uptick But wait, what is this -- A massive BLM demonstration Uh, why, of course, THAT's perfectly fine ~ Protesting racism trumps mitigation

Have a care! There has been a widespread outbreak of uncontrolled Self righteous virtue signalling. You’ve diagnosed it , Gershon. Well written!

I am sadly and seriously wondering how these congregations are going to fare later. It is a seriously sad time in our country, your concerns are also mine.

IF, and that's a big if, we've been told the truth, there's going to be a ramp-up in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths from all these protests. What to do?!

So true Gershon. Our 4th of July has been canceled due to Covid and now there is a large protest planned and allowed for Flag Day. They are going to take over the park and distance from there. This is usually where Veterans celebrate Flag day and have a parade. Well done :)

Thanks, Heidi... How many others, besides you, have noticed? The hypocrisy is just incredibly obvious to me, to you... Why not to everyone?! Perhaps love of their 'ideology,' their virtue signaling, blinds them. For shame... Hope you're feeling better and better. Thanks, again. :) gw

I did think about that while watching the protests - and now there seems to be a spike in new cases and deaths - everything just goes in circles I guess.

Ha, ha! Talk about 'going in circles:' That describes the reasoning of such 'brainiacs' as Pritzker (IL), Cuomo (NY), Murphy (NJ), and the rest of the govs who locked things down --- until they bowed of the feet of the protestors who they think will vote for them... Hypocrisy of the highest order! Thanks, Gershon
