#6  In a few weeks approximately 750,000 light infantry will mobilize in Pennsylvania to rid the commonwealth of the despised and delicious white tailed rat. 700,000 in Michigan and 600,000 in Wisconsin. Guys, there will be no suspension of rights that survives first contact with the enemy.

#5  Darth, I doubt it, but... given how completely unhinged many on the left have become, I wouldn't entirely dismiss the possibility of an attempt at a Lincoln-esque "suspension of rights" via executive order emerging from the umbra of the overlap between Soro's willingness to sacrifice others, Obama's narcissism and the Progressive's fascist impulses.

#4  If they could hold elections in 1864 they can hold them in 2016.

#3  In the old days, the local Health Department could forcibly enforce quarantine as necessary -- no army needed.

And honestly, if this thing goes pandemic, elections will be the least of our worries. Plenty of time afterward for the ~50% of us who survived to figure out which part of the country holds the voting majority -- I know where I'd place my bets.

#2  Not paranoid or cynical, Darth - just practical and paying attention. :-(

#1  I'm not trying to be paranoid or cynical or wear tin foil... but after hearing this the first thing that goes through my mind is, "That is a good justification for martial law and the suspension of the constitutional process if this gets out of hand. And that would have been planned to happen that way."
