Reverse Psychology!

Orygun · 2021-09-21T20:06:10.086Z

I think the theory is crazy but the part that hits home for me is that there is some truth to the idea that whatever a liberal is for, a conservative tends to be automatically against- and vice versa.

To the point when even the common sense idea of taking a vaccine to save ones life becomes a political football. This is where things have generally gone off the rails.

I don’t disagree.

It’s about mandates for me.

Orygun · 2021-09-21T20:18:59.482Z

I assume you’re ok with some mandates? Masking in hospitals and airports? Public school vaccine mandates?

Or maybe not I can’t remember.

No. I’m never ok with mandates. I begrudgingly admit some are necessary at times.

Short time. Emergency only. Not a default position.

Sigh…so you have no opinion of any mandates that don’t personally affect you?

It’s really also why from teh get go, democrats took covid more seriously.

revisions to history?

while trump was shutting down travel to china nancy was telling people to go to china town, go to a theatre. cuomo was telling people to go out and eat, ride the subway. biden was calling shutting down travel from china xenophobic.

democrats didn’t get serious about covid until they saw political benefit

Do you have the quote of Biden calling the travel shut down xenophobic?

He did not.
However, the day after Trump announced that he was restricting Travel from communist China in order to reduce the flow of the virus to the United States, Biden said that hysteria and xenophobia were not the answer.
Many people, admittedly including myself, saw this statement as a reaction to Trump’s statement.

Gonna pick nits I see.

Considering what Biden did say I can see why.

what did he say?

You don’t know?

Which one do you want in regards his disapproval of the travel ban?

“We are in the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus. We need to lead the way with science — not Donald Trump’s record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering. He is the worst possible person to lead our country through a global health emergency.”

“A wall will not stop the coronavirus. Banning all travel from Europe — or any other part of the world — will not stop it. This disease could impact every nation and any person on the planet — and we need a plan to combat it.”

“Stop the xenophobic fear-mongering. Be honest. Take responsibility. Do your job.”

Pick the nit. I have better things to do.

Fauci says Trump’s coronavirus policy decisions helped save lives

Testifying before Congress on Friday, Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly credited President Trump for coronavirus policy decisions that saved lives. Those measures included Trump’s decisions to ban…

While Trump was making critical decisions that saved lives, Biden was busy undermining the credibility of the government and the steps it was taking to curb the pandemic…for political gain.

The sad part is, it seems to have worked.

Because leftists like Stern and CNNLOL and Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Anthony Fauci are deliberately looking to manipulate Trump supporters into not getting vaccinated.

No. They actually don’t care whether lives are saved. If they cared about lives, they would care about the phentynol coming in from the porous southern border.
They object to people not obeying their orders. This narrative about reverse psychology is just a progressive ego-salvage exercise. They can then tell themselves that those who obeyed the orders were successfully controlled by the sophisticated and educated Fabian socialists; and those who didn’t obey the orders were unwittingly also manipulated by the Fabian socialists. We control everyone.
