What do you mean, specifically? What is the Great Reset? And who was doing the resetting?

Actually, I am being honest. I just looked it up on Wikipedia and I still don't even know what it really means. Some people with money are pretending that they care about the world and will be responsible mega-capitalists from now on? I don't know - the whole thing sounds like Bilderberger Trilateral Commission conspiracy stuff to me. I am sure it will amount to a big nothing burger.

People completely misunderstand Biden. He is a traditionalist in the old Democratic mold. Think LBJ - he wants to use the government to help people, however he interprets that. Gun control, fiscal stimulus, civil rights, etc. Nothing new or different or revolutionary.

Folks may oppose that in whatever measure (I am against gun control, but pro civil-rights), but let's not get carried away with conspiracies about New World Order.

Oh, like the Democratic Party of the Confederacy, Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow, Margaret Sanger, Stephen Douglas, Indian removal, Woodrow Wilson, Vietnam War, Iran Hostage Crisis, etc, etc... ???

I don't doubt that Biden has nothing all to do with the group of people who are planning the "Great Reset" because he's just a dumb tool like all the other "progessive" and "democratic solialist" leaders who fall for the "open society" globalist model and goals and will all just be discarded if and when they're ever successful.

How long do you think it'll be til things are back to normal?

I'm guessing summer of 2021 for general society, and maybe 2022 for an economic recovery. I'm also guessing after the curve is flattened somewhat and we try to "reopen for business" we'll see another major outbreak, or possibly even more than one.
Get rid of those rose colored glasses you're wearing. Life is NEVER going back to what it was. The news media is NEVER going back to un biased honest reporting. Google, Facebook, and Twitter are NEVER going to allow disagreeing opinions to be published. Your unpopular opinion will ALWAYS be ridiculed. You are nor highly educated and enlightened, you will forever more be a smelly WalMart Shopper.
You are worthy to provide the work and money to support them, but that is the extent of it.

Sure it was. There was a pandemic, science responded, and now we are returning to normal. I am in a blue state and don't wear a mask. I got a vaccination and, so far, am not under 5G mind control. People go about their normal course of business, and the economy is coming back. There is even ammunition returning to the shelves - I just saw 35 boxes of .40 at Bass Pro Shop. I also saw .223 green-tip.

This was always the way it was going to go. Crisis-> response -> return to normal. As it has been throughout US history. No coup. No Orwellian nightmare. No jackbooted thugs taking dissidents.

Just a bunch of handwaving from folks whose presidential candidate lost the election.
You're either a troll, an idiot or naive, or all three.

Regardless theres no use trying to reason with the mentally ill.

Wondering where @roscoe is at? He doesn't usually take that sitting down and staying silent! :LOL:

Doesn't matter where he is. Any more replies will just be more Liberal/Marxist/Communist BS.

His track record against America is pretty well set in stone in replies on this site.

I wish there was a ignore feature on this site.

There is an ignore setting, just above where you sign out.
I'd never use it on a person just because I disagree, though.
I like to re-examine my positions - and I sometimes change an opinion if I find that I'm agreeing too much with an idiot... .

An idiot @roscoe is not, and I don't know why I'd stick up for him since he and I have disagreed on almost everything, but with respect to the old saying about keeping your friends close and keeping your enemies closer I think that ignoring those that disagree is bad strategy because that's exactly how they've been able to shape the narrative by redefining the language and filtering the facts without being called on it for such a long time that most people aren't aware of how they've been manipulated into not just agreeing but believing their "version" of the truth, and they've achieved that by being absolutely persistent and brilliantly clever in very incremental ways, easily ignorable by those that just don't want to be bothered by them, and that is certainly not a strategy executed by idiots.

You may have noticed that none of my conversations with @roscoe have caused me to change my opinions... .

Anyway, if you only listen to people that you agree with then you have put yourself into an echo chamber.

Thanks for the info. I'm not going to be agreeing with this particular idiot in any sense.

I'll give you they (commies) are persistent. But your not changing there minds and I've got better things to do until the shooting starts.

We're past dialog. These people can't be reasoned with. If you want to waste your time "debating" have at it. I have more productive things to do.

Honestly I just hate that I get entangled into a convo by people like that, which is my own fault and why I was asking about an ignore button.

That last part is pure BS. Theres a difference between debating and arguing with someone who is not capable of swaying back to reality. You gotta know the cut off.

If you personally wanna continue that battle I bid you good luck. I have more productive things to do.

I'm not taking up for Roscoe's beliefs, as I can't think of a single significant thing we've agreed on, except for the firearms aspect. As a person, I wouldn't know him if he came up and kicked me in the balls. He's vastly outnumbered on this site, yet he continues to (or did) put his thoughts out there for the world to see in a civilized manner, without the name calling. I can appreciate that disagreeing with him comes at a cost, and the cost is having to think instead of emotional reaction. He's definitely no idiot.

The people I ignore on here aren't due to different ideology, rather the people insistent on verbal attacks and name calling. The validity of the argument is always brought down by its lowest common denominator.

I hardly get on here anymore. I saw it initially as a discussion forum, but it's become more of a club. Dissent isn't welcome and is highly ostracized.

2 things...
1- If Roscoe's comments piss you off, he wins. If it makes you think and evaluate your approach to countering the thoughts of people you disagree with, ultimately you win.

2-If the divide becomes so great that it gets to the point where "shooting starts", nobody wins. Nobody.

Well they don't anymore, "click".

I'm not looking for a echo chamber I just don't like stray commies.

I don't see where two folks with butting heads with a difference in ideology is worth listening to. No one's changing anyone's mind and there's nothing just or moral about continuing to argue with this type.

You're free to "debate" at length with this commie if you're so inclined.

Folks don't realize that this is where we're at, but it is . Theres no "talking" with communist.
