I speak up for America and against those who wish to destroy her. I emigrated from a communist country (Cuba) and what's happening here happens there daily. The similarities are terrifying and If we want totalitarianism and oppression, look no further than 90 miles south of Key West.

Think about it.

1st Amendment rights being destroyed? I think you got that backward. Attempts to suppress speech and assembly would do that.

Fear of BLM is their way to take control. This is a racist, hateful, terrorist group. They are fully backed by one group. Make a donation to them and follow the money, easy to do.

Enough protesting. What are their demands? Who is in charge of them? What the heck will make them happy?

I’ve heard this from my liberal friends. Many protesters must take their masks off for the pictures taken by the media then!

Yes ... data shows no spike after the protests. Reasoning may be simply that there were so many masks. The Tulsa indoor rally for the president, on the other hand, did show big results. Indoors.

Here's an interesting piece from MIT. Relates to indoor spaces and scientists’ evolving thinking. I hope it helps.

If the coronavirus is really airborne, we might be fighting it the wrong way

Takeaways:

Staying Safe: “strict mask use” … “the virus sheds like crazy” …. but for masks to really stop the transmission they have to be tight and worn all the time (even around family) .. “sanitizing every single surface … huge waste of time.”

Variables: longer time indoors … restaurants, bars, offices, classrooms, churches. Ventilation needs to be a higher priority (big problem in older buildings). UV Light dissipates the virus in air in less than a minute.

Advice = stay in well ventilated areas with as few people as possible and spend as little time as possible in enclosed spaces.

Look at the video or photos and compare beaches, bars, etc to the protests. The most significant difference is the overwhelming majority of protestors wear masks. Nobody to very few on the beaches or in the bars or at Trump rallies are wearing them.

Masks work.

Truth doesn't fit the narrative that the liberal news wants to report.

I guess it's just a coincidence that the surge of new cases started 1-2 weeks after Floyd protests (not after reopening which happed 4-6 weeks earlier)

What's being destroyed are buildings that are looted and burned to the ground.

Backed by "one group", which group please is an ambiguous statement. A black Federal judge is a member of our family; he has been stopped for "driving while black" many times. How ofter are white people stopped for "driving while white"? The list goes on and on. This country was built on the backs of Black Americans, but never have they been given the opportunities of other ethnic groups. Suppression has always been the key in the treatment of Black Americans. Suppress a group long enough and they will rise up.

Their demands? To be able to live without fear. To be treated with equality, respect, and dignity. Make them happy, not to be killed because they are black.

Oh, they wouldn’t dare blame BLM or is it, OnlyBLM.

That's because science tells us the virus is INCREDIBLY smart. It's able to discriminate between the noble and the great unwashed. Whenever the virus detects a BLM protestor, or even rioter, it says "this is a good person ... do not infect him or her."

There are numerous studies that support this somewhat controversial finding.
