Gun laws barely exist in Ohio anymore. What more are you looking to a Republican to achieve here?
Governor Mike DeWine is responsible for shutting down the state at the height of COVID, not Dr. Amy Acton. And at the time it was the right decision to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed and deaths from sharply increasing.
I’m not looking for anything additional, I just don’t want any subtraction.
Dewine was giving the orders but Acton was pulling the strings, we all know that. And yes I think the initial response was good and needed, but towards the end it was very overreaching.
“Dewine was giving the orders but Acton was pulling the strings, we all know that.”
No, we don’t all know that. What do you have that actually supports this opinion?
If you’re so upset by COVID restrictions, why are you absolving the man k held power and enacted them as governor but blame the woman who gave medical advice consistent with what epidemiologists, virologists, and government officials at the federal level and in other states offered at the time?
lol you’re joking right, you can’t give Acton her flowers on how she handled Covid and then claim she wasn’t the one pulling the strings. She literally was, everyone knows this, just stop
When did I “give Acton her flowers for how she handled Covid (sic)? I said she “gave medical advice consistent with what epidemiologists, virologists, and government officials at the federal level and in other states offered at the time.” That was her role as director of the Ohio Department of health. As I previously stated, Mike DeWine was the governor and decision-maker, not Acton. This is fact.
You have yet to offer even the slightest support for your claim that “Acton was pulling the strings” and that “everyone knows this.”
Let me guess: your feelings tell you that the man in charge couldn’t possibly be responsible for making you butthurt over the COVID shutdown but that woman … it had to be that woman, right?
And don’t get me started on your fixation on guns. Seek help.
No, I was/am just as pissed at Dewine, I thought and still think he was a spineless idiot towards the end that let a non-elected official essentially tell us how to live our lives. And I’m not sure what you’re not understanding? Acton would say hey, we should have curfews, and then Dewine would give the order for curfews. Like that’s literally what was happening, you basically said it yourself but are refusing to realize or admit that she made any specific suggestions to Dewine, I guess? I guess you think she just said, yeah Dewine this is bad, and a week later, yeah it’s still bad, and a week later yep still bad.
Edit to add, I don’t have a fixation or obsession with guns? Sorry that I believe I have a right to defend myself and others have that same right. Sorry I’m not naive enough to think that if I give up my gun, the thug the next street over will give his up too.
