Maury county mayor Andy Ogles joined a growing list of county mayors voicing their discontent with keeping outdated restrictions in place, despite the original goals having been over-accomplished a long time ago.
Ogles stresses that at this point, the measures are doing more harm than good and urges the governor to allow counties to decide for themselves what measures they want to take.
As the contradictions in the policies of many governors and mayors, especially Democrats, are becoming increasingly obvious to everyone, some people are beginning to question their affiliation.
For months (remember, it was only supposed to be two weeks), we were told that we cannot go to work or to church, or we’d be murderers. Then we were supposed to dehumanize ourselves and each other by covering our faces and always stay at least 6ft apart from each other. However, the very same policymakers who implemented these rules, now call on people to attend mass protests which have seen cities across the country vandalized and looted. Apparently, a mass gathering of a few thousand people is less dangerous than a church congregation of eighty, or a workplace of twenty.
On the tail end of this, we are witnessing a phenomenon we haven’t seen in a long time: an increasing number of people with more mixed views. I.e. individuals who hold both traditional Democratic and traditional Republican views.
E.g. people who believe in police reform and social causes, may disapprove of their neighborhood being destroyed and purchase a firearm for the first time in their lives (and be grateful that they have the right to protect themselves and their families). People who initially supported measures to “flatten the curve”, may feel betrayed by their leaders as the goalposts kept shifting and the lockdowns extended until there was no job to go back to. Even people who supported the rallies, before they turned violent, can’t help but be confused, why their mayors and governors approve of these mass gatherings while still keeping other Covid-restrictions in place.

It also provides more flexibility on how to use the loan.
Continuing to focus attention on the Wuhan-Coronavirus (also called Covid 19, or Sars-Cov2), would be counterproductive and appears ridiculous from a virological standpoint, he said.
According to the Johns Hopkins University, the global number of Coronavirus deaths is roughly in the range of the 2008-2009 swine flu.

While many Democrats are outraged at the move, large parts of the country are tired of Antifa having the support of local leaders and acting without repercussions. The latter may be about to change now.
While the stances, mayor John Cooper of Nashville, Tennessee is taking, appear increasingly bizarre, more of his constituents are finally waking up.
Last night, Cooper issued a 10pm curfew, leaving many Nashville residents stranded, without being allowed to go home or risk being arrested. This came after a rally, which mayor Cooper himself had promoted, saw the courthouse and City Hall, as well as countless businesses set on fire amid widespread violence and destruction.
Other city leaders, such as former mayoral candidate Professor Carol Swain, and city councilmembers, had warned the mayor of the potential violence that was looming. Warnings the mayor choose to ignore.
As his proposed 32% tax hike is threatening to chase away a large number of the businesses and residents who survived his ban on business and “safer-at-home”-order without going bankrupt or moving, and as Cooper is still not lifting all of the Covid-restrictions, despite empty hospitals, and despite Cooper himself not observing six feet distance at yesterday’s rally, many Nashvillians had enough.
