I have a question as to what everybody here thinks; that is, if this quotation from President Roosevelt's inaugural address in 1933 applies to how our country has responded to the C***d v***s p******c?

Placing the people into a state of fear is a supreme way to control them. A Democrat strategy.

No. The 1933 address was concerning unknowns, the fear threat now is from misinformation, i.e., too much information.

And a way of using fear for political purposes. As I think it was Holder who said; something like never let a good crisis go to waste.

I don't think the people feared the v***s as much as they despised the draconian rules passed to force people to give up their freedom to meet with friends and to go to work to earn a living. It makes people think too much of what will happen to us when the l*****t c*******ts finally rule.

Hi lpn: I think the domination of fear is from different causes: one was from economic collapse and all kinds of ideas of what caused it (including from the socialists and c*******ts of the day) and today from the media giving the impression that a v***s infection is virtually a kiss of death. So despite the surface differences there was in both cases all kinds of misinformation creating fear of what horrible things the future might bring. I think today FDR's quote from a prominent and accepted leader would apply and help.

Hi Fallen: I guess it depends on who you talk to. I've seen all kinds of news stories of people being harrassed for simply not wearing a mask. And the political leaders in several states seem to keep getting eleccted.
