I had to do my remote work today but have some family members there. Looks like it's already pretty big.

The government’s not there, and even if they did they wouldn’t care.

‘The government’s not there’

it’s the state capital; if the government’s not there, where is it...?

‘and even if they did they wouldn’t care.’

even if they did what...?

‘Looks like it’s already pretty big.’

looks great; it restores my faith somewhat in Pennsylvanians...I’m sure the lack of social distancing is going to trigger some folk who just a month ago wouldn’t have thought twice about gathering in a crowd...

The Governor’s mansion is just around the corner a few blocks up on the river front. Maybe that’s where they should be protesting?

“it’s the state capital; if the government’s not there, where is it...?”

Hiding under the tables in their mansions, just like the House Democrats.

“‘and even if they did they wouldn’t care.’
even if they did what...?”

Yes... I’m sorry. That was a typo. I meant to say “even if they were they wouldn’t care.” :-)

Not new at all for Democrats. Watching Waco documentary on Prime. In the hearings afterwards, Democrats did all they could to distract from what the ATF did and focus on the “sins” of David Koresh. They took sides then and are taking sides now. Those that want to re-open are dumb Trump voters. We, Democrats, know better, that it is too soon and deadly to re-open. The attacks on liberty in various states are fake news, they claim.
