Joe Biden threatened that if he wins the presidential election, then he will lock down the country again. He made the threat when he appeared on ABC’s World News Tonight. The host of the show asked him if he’s willing to lock down the country again if some “experts” recommended it. “I would shut it down; I would listen to the scientists,” Biden claimed.

“I will be prepared to do whatever it takes to save lives because we cannot get the country moving until we control the virus,” Biden added. “That is the fundamental flaw of this administration’s thinking to begin with. In order to keep the country running and moving and the economy growing, and people employed, you have to fix the virus, you have to deal with the virus.”

Biden’s threat came just a day after he said in his nomination acceptance speech at the Democrat National Convention that the country needs a national mask mandate. He said that he will make all Americans wear masks whenever they go outside of their homes.

“Every single American should be wearing a mask when they are outside for the next three months at a minimum,” Biden said about the mask mandate. Like the other Democrats, Biden wants to impose strict restrictions on Americans and to curtail everyone’s freedom.

Shutting down the country again and imposing a national mask mandate is something that many Americans are opposed to. Most people would like to go back to work and to start rebuilding their lives and the economy. That’s exactly what President Trump is aiming for and the economy is already starting to recover. There are ways that the spread of the virus can be restricted without imposing restrictive laws on Americans.

The Democrats do not want the economy to fully recover because they want the American people to be dependent on the government through handouts which they can control. They are willing to hold back the economy and the entire country just so they can keep their hold on political power.
