AG Bill Barr: "Other than slavery, lockdowns are the greatest intrusion on civil liberties in American history."
- Thread starter Saucycarpdog
- Start date
Oh, not the suppression of people's constitutionally protected right to vote? Not the sabotage of the people's constitutionally protected right to receive their mail? Not the people's right to a fair trial (as opposed to summary execution on the street), free speech, protest, and so on?
Social Distancing Guidelines, the greatest tyranny of them all!

That wasn't even the worst quote in that.
Unbelievable what this idiot has done to this country.

from what chthonic bowels did they dredge this dude up from.
All pale in comparison to not being able to eat at Olive Garden or get a haircut for a few months.
I feel my civil liberties are threatened when people ask me to stay inside so I don't get sick (I did anyway lol). Whatever am I to do with a bunch of streaming services and video games at my disposal? I need to be saved!
If slavery was bad, then so are the lockdowns? Lockdowns almost as bad as slavery?
yeah that tracks with the GOP mentality.
It's basically the republican philosophy in a nutshell. Other people must die and suffer for my freedom and wealth.
American, you see. American.
And by slavery he secretly means the civil war, as in the imposition put upon the slave owners.
No, this fucker is a True Believer. Apparently he was like this last time he was AG, but Trump lets him run his mouth freely.
i can only hope biden investigates his ass thoroughly if he gets elected. i want this guy to spend the rest of his days in prison suffering.
Not just old, but i see a few young people do this too.
I think alot of them do it so they can have an 'experience' of 'oppression' (heavy quotation marks). You'd think even having a sense of 1% of what actual oppression looks like that they would be empathetic and understanding and fight for the greater good.
I suspect many will simply use it as a way of downplay the effects of slavery on the black community by saying 'Well we went through a lockdown and a PC culture that effected/targeted us greatly!!!!!!??!! and we still came out rich so whats yoooooouuuuuurrr excuse'
You shouldn't be, because Republicans do this all the time. They co-opt ideas to prop themselves and make them look sympathetic towards others. For example, they use MLK to downplay black issues, but acknowledge that the racism is bad and the civil rights movement was good, despite still being racist.
Internment camps, natives being extinguished, everything after slavery, multiple religions being attacked at different times, multiple ethnicities being attacked at different times, hundreds of people sitting in jail on nothing charges, hundreds of wrongly convicted people in prison, civil asset forfeiture, the list is huge. This entire train is built on crumping on the rights of the people.
They like to bring up slavery because then they can say the Republican President Lincoln ended slavery, unlike the Democrats which are the party of the KKK.
I literally want this fucker to suffer the consequences for his actions even more than I do Trump. But I know that he won't suffer any--he's too rich and too white for that. He certainly didn't suffer any for the shit he did last time when he was in this position, and now here he is back again at it.
