Why Is Florida Suddenly The Covid Goat For The Nation?

We all know that the least-closed and least-masked states in the nation, Florida, and Texas, had the best records as regards deaths and business destruction resulting from the 2020 national covid lockdown.

We also know how totally hated Ron DeSantis is by Democrats, who will do anything to halt his national rise in popularity as his state survives the pandemic relatively unscathed because of the common sense way he ran state policy and treated private businesses the last year and a half, while Democrat-run states had miserable results during the same period because their mayors and governors rule with an iron fist with no consideration for the will and the constitutional liberty of the people.

We also know that Democrat states like New York, New Jersey, Illinois, California and Michigan have had the worst results due to the complete lockdown and the enforced masking in these states with the totalitarian rule of their far-left governors and mayors.

So it’s interesting that a recent news broadcast has the new Delta variant only related in comparison to the Florida “case” total, with no mention of the Democrat states’ Delta headcount. Do California and New York not have any Delta “cases”? The report made it sound like Florida was the only state with this new covid standard for failure, with Democrat states being pristine and having no Delta “cases“ at all.

But probably the most disturbing aspect of prejudice in leftist news reporting is that they only report the number of “cases” of the Delta illnesses, and never mention the sickness level of the people representing the new “cases”. This absence of information makes me believe that the majority of “cases” are among people who are healthy, feeling fine and enjoying life even though they had a positive test. In other words, it’s proof that herd immunity is working and government should leave us citizens to hell alone.

But Democrats are liars at heart, and lie they will, about anything and everything. It’s clear that the sensory pleasure-rush the leftist politicians got from being able to shut down the nation and make all citizens wear masks at their personal command has worn off, and now Democrat politicians need a quick fix and are using the new Delta variant for that purpose.

Florida showed the nation how a decent and citizen-oriented state should conduct pandemic business, and now the Democrats have to destroy Florida and DeSantis in order to tarnish the successful image of that state, and its governor.
