This decision is clearly mistaken, historically and empirically. We should not give in to such fears. It's critical to stand up for what is right. Refusing to do so inevitably leads to more despotism and a debilitating loss of hope.

But they are doing that now, or rather Trump is. Just put the politics aside for once and do the right thing. Vote against it and in so doing you will give people hope. Otherwise...

They are already doing it. If you pass the stopgap, you give them unfettered budget control. If you vote against it, at least you are trying to reestablish a democracy. Remember 1933.

Tried to warn people, but there's this belief perseverance that makes presenting the facts often ineffectual. So, they elected a convicted crook, and this is what you get.

Yes it is. And with Texas failing to monitor H5N1, look for it to become the next Wuhan.
