Local, state and now even the federal government has doubled down on the use of fear to control, manipulate and suppress the American public.
The sight of all people wearing masks just intensifies ones fear that the virus is coming to get them.
The governments have taken away every right that they can. They have forced the economy to the bottom limits of sustainability. Then, in order to make us appreciative and dependent upon them, they are offering small pieces of our lives back to us: Stimulus checks to minimally replace the income that they have stolen from us; an area on the street for a restaurant to serve a small percentage of what it takes to keep a restaurant afloat; unemployment checks to make us spend money that we weren’t allowed to earn for ourselves; maybe an end to other restrictions that were imposed for no apparent reason.
They then celebrate and brag about how they have saved what they have actually destroyed. The abuse of power that these self-righteous nobodies (governors. mayors, council members, commissioners and of course know-nothing health department heads) is disgusting to say the least.
It is way, way beyond time for us to take our country and our lives back. Why don’t we set a date of March 1?
Don’t be fearful of the virus. Be as careful as you feel you should be, but don’t believe these nobodies when they claim to be protecting you. You know what is better for you than they do.
Be very fearful of the people we put in power.
