[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5255829, member: 24302"] Interesting how things are viewed from your perspective in your state. Here in Florida we haven't had masks for awhile and it's been business as usual for even longer. Can't even imagine nefarious machinations here. I Googled concentration camps in Oregon and turned up some websites saying that it's a thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory that's been around for more than a decade. I'm 60, and recall some scary things being said about Russia and East Germany being the Gog and Magog of the Bible when I was around 10. Pretty dire predictions had me scared. Have been hearing or reading about various conspiracy theories ever since. There's often a grain of truth that people run with and embellish on. And then there's the "I'm going to leave the country if so and so gets elected!" All the dire warnings never really materialize. At least not until Biden. But while he may attack Trump supporters as the biggest threat to the country he'd never try to round us all up. First off it would take the military and they'd revolt against the idea. On so many levels the idea of forcing 100 million+ into camps is so unworkable it will just never happen. Neither will a land based invasion. This isn't 1812. If the U.S. gets destroyed it will either be a nuclear attack or we will destroy ourselves. Doesn't even have to be a civil war. Just a further slide into decadence and economic irrelevance. But there will always be those who do care about our security and who'll be manning our nuclear deterrence and military installations. So no, Russia and China aren't going to invade. Might blow us off the map, but won't invade. [/QUOTE]
