OK, I give you Joe Biden as proof again that Progressivism is a cult.
I saw this campaign commercial yesterday with Joe speaking (he speaks clearly enough as long as he takes his meds)
Joe is calling for a national plan to save lives from the Corona Virus with "unified nationwide standards". It's all a top down plan of course, progressives love centralized government dictates. Maybe Joe has a Soviet style 5 year plan to contain the virus, after all a good progressive plan should never let a good crisis go to waste. As Ludwig Von Mises wrote, "Most of the tyrants, despots, and dictators are sincerely convinced that their rule is beneficial for the people, that theirs is government for the people." Maybe Joe actually believes his own BS, I don't know, or maybe he's just mouth breathing what he was told to say.
He tops it off with the "we are all in this together" spiel as to make soft minds believe they are on a noble crusade into battle with their great general leading the charge. It's actually more like herds of lemmings committing mass suicide by jumping off a cliff.
Part of that plan is mandatory "national mask mandates". "Everyone needs to wear a mask in public" says ye wannabe dictator. Progressives love the words "national" and "mandates", it signifies absolute power and subservience of the individual to the state. I'm sure all good progressives are ready to goosestep to those decrees.
