Should you give government the middle finger and enjoy Thanksgiving with family and friends?


- It's not the government that gets 'the finger' when you think you're giving "it" to them, dumbass! You have NOT been on lockdown for 8 months, that's not true. They expected it to spike in winter & so far it has mimicked the models. ... It's not something they're doing to prevent YOUR liberty, or somehow inconvenience you, ... it's something you do out of respect for everyone else, because idiots like you (perhaps Asymptomatic) spreads it to others, and so on and so on... it's the only tool we have as of yet, and the number of infections is out of control. Poor South Dakota is like ground zero in the world with an infection rate of 60%.0|00|2Is this still revelant?
If you want to give up your rights, go ahead, but I'm going to continue being and American! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@NightBurger Which right are you defending... the right to be ignorant? And proud you should be, since American leads the world in spreading Covid-19. We're # 1 !

- Personal responsibility is completely nonexistent with many people. I say it's time to stop attempting to save people from the consequences of their actions. If people want to have a give something the finger and end up having consequences of doing so, they should be last in line for any kind of help from anyone. If people want to have a holiday get together and wind up with family members do end up with covid after it, they should last in line to a hospital bed.0|00|0Is this still revelant?
- I'm doing what I believe is the best thing for my family and myself. It doesn't have much to do with the "government", it has to do with whether I trust the science, and I do. So, I'll be watching for yet another spike in a few weeks. Enjoy your turkey.0|00|0Is this still revelant?

117- Nah, because I understand that in this scenario, it's my family and friends I'd be giving the proverbial middle finger to, not the government. It's a big "fuck you" to your own family. Well, and your neighbors too but y'all care even less about them than you do the people you "love".0|10|0
- As someone that is currently in quarantine cause a household member has tested positive for the virus and is presumed to have it myself, I will say stuff like this hits you much differently when it's in your home. So far all of us are experiencing mild symptoms but it is scary knowing that it could change in an instant. If that is a risk you are willing to take with your family members (elder especially) and friends then knock yourself out0|10|1
- Plan on doing that already, along with a "eat a dick" reply on standby for them as well. They will never have a say in how I choose to spend my time, where I spend it and who with. Sick of those cockbags.0|10|0
- Yes, in theory.
But my fingers will be busy holding onto my carving knife and fork as I cut up our extra large turkey so everyone here can have some leftovers.0|00|0 - The fewer ignorant Trumptards running around saying stupid shit, the better. So I say go for it. Lots of kissing, lots of hugging, shared utensils in fact, have a lick the spoon game with dessert that everyone has to play.0|01|1
Rather be a trumptard than a libertard who gives up thier civil liberties to hide from a virus with a 99.9997% survivability rate. Just remember when they cram u on the cattle car and take you to the shower facility. That it's totally not nerve gas coming out of the shower heads
You're really comparing taking a few smart measures for the next few months to limit the spread of a deadly virus in the middle of a brutal second wave to being rounded up and sent to the gas chamber? I don't think the words exist in the English language to fully descibe how monumentally stupid that is.
Well for starters the virus isn't deadly. And the measures are smart they're infact causing more harm than the virus ever could. But I can't expect a linertard to understand how supplie chains work and how disruptions of them have far reaching and disastrous consequences. And lastly yes I am making the comparison because giving up freedom for safety is exactly how the holocaust got started.

"Well for starters the virus isn't deadly."
260,000 people would like to disagree with you but unfortunately, they're dead. How can anyone be so stunningly ignorant, so monumnetally stupid. Not a rhetorical q... monumentally stupid. Not a rhetorical question. I'm really asking. What went horribly wrong in your life?
260,000 sounds like a lot but in the grand scheme that's insignificant. And most of that 260,000 wasn't simply covid it was covid plus underlying conditions and or bieng elderly. Covid is little more than a mild flu in the end. Stop letting the government scare you.
Whether someone had an underlying condition or not,. they would still be alive today and probably for some years to come with their underlying condition if not for contracting Covid. 260,000 is insignificant unless one of them is your mother or father or sibling or spouse or child or best friend. What number would get your attention? 500,000? 1 million? 2 million? How many more need to die because people like you won't wear a small piece of cloth over your mouth for the next few months before you will start to view the number as no longer "insignificant"?
Spare me the rhetoric about how I'm an unfeeling bastard. My grandmother died of swine flu back in 2009 I didn't run around screaming we needed to grind everyone's life to a halt over it. But this is the United States if you want to cower in your home because a mild case of the sniffles is going around thsts your right. But I shouldn't be subjected to the same thing to assuage your fear.
Are those the same world governments and health organizations that said there was no evidence of human to human transmission for months after it started spreading across China like the plague. Beg pardons if I dont exactly put any stock in thier opinions. If an illness with a 99.997% survivability rate makes you people cower on fear. I'd hate to see your hysterics when something truly lethal shows up in our borders like ebola
- I'd say don't worry about the government, but do worry about your family and the local community, or whoever the Thanksgiving will be with. It's maybe not a great idea for someone who is vulnerable to be at a gathering, unfortunately, unless it is outside and no one is getting within 6ft of them. Especially because if they need to go to the hospital, the hospitals are struggling with capacity now. But overall, best to do it outside, even if no one is high risk0|10|0
- Do what you want, but you are only showing yourself the middle finger. Government officials did mean only good, but in the end they give a fuck about you and your family.0|10|0
- Then stay the fck away from me, you ignorant idiot!! There are CDC guidelines, and the infection rate is skyrocketing, because of idiot like you, just ignoring the guides!!0|01|1
- We actually didn't have a nationwide lockdown for very long.0|00|0
- Anonymous1 moIt's not the government you'd be giving the middle finger to. You'd be giving a finger to everyone mourning a dead relative on Thanksgiving because of your selfishness. Of which there are over a quarter million so far.0|10|2
- If you want to kill your own family members then by all means do it. Less people to clog up the roads.0|00|2
- Anonymous1 moIf Garvin Newson can attend a tasting at a restaurant with 12 people who were not wearing mask. I can have Thanksgiving dinner with my family.0|30|0
- I’d say no. But hey, if your grandfather gets on the ICU, just blame yourself. Also, dick move towards hospital personnel.0|10|0
- I already planned on it. I will have 20 at my house. I will not follow a single CDC recommendation.0|10|2
- Except we never actually locked down. Presumably because of people like you who refused to comply.0|10|0
