its not a respect issue, they don't FEAR us. the patriot act was a line in the sand, that too many American's let Fear overwhelm their freedoms. when the IRS targeted the Tea Party members, Americans where silent. the left has slow boiled the frog and they did their calculations, to them they should get away with mask mandates and lockdowns as well, as Americans have become complacent and kowtowed. it remains to be seen if they are correct.

Those who would sacrifice liberty for security shall have neither.

With the tea party, I will say that most people didn't even know about them or their circumstances.

Trump and MAGA broke that barrier.

Let's hope that is enough to get people off their asses

Exactly correct. They need to fear the public again. The only way this is going to happen is if we the people take it over again by any means necessary.

Fear is a powerful tool. Even with the coronavirus we still live in the safest era humanity has ever known with the highest life expectancy, but the media has told us that isn't good enough and our freedoms must be sacrificed so folks with dimentia, alzheimers and multiple co-morbidities eek out a few miserable years alone trapped in a prison that's an old folks home.

This, but they actually killed those folks just to make their point.

And now it’s “think of Grandma!”

I would, but you already killed her.

Think of grandma, think of the children, if it saves just one life, cuts for your own good, it’s for the greater good. On and on and on.

We’ve come a long way from “ok boomer”.

The fear works on state and local government officials as well. We got lockdowns from the media showing people dropping dead in China and China being forced to lockdown. We got mask mandates after the media kept hounding the Chinavirus task force and CDC to release guidelines on masks and then heavily promoting their use afterwards.

When the “Emergency” never ends and your elections are tainted your only recourse is overthrow.

It’s this simple. This is where we’re at, no hyperbole needed.

Overthrow the media first. They singlehandedly control our elections, they get to decide who to cover and unless you're on the same level as Trump nobody can ever get in through politics if they're an outsider. It's just way too much money needed for a working class citizen to even have a shot. Anybody should be able to run for president, or congress; not just the party/media golden boy or girl.

Which then one could look at our government as a total dog and pony show, the media giving us the same candidates year after year while they continually fuck us in the ass; Same people who caused all of this country's problems are now the ones going to "fix it"

Fucking clown world we live in. And everyone fell for it hook, line and sinker

Just like Alex Jones, a certain part of me thinks that maybe these fucks deserve it if theyre unwilling to fight back, or even acknowledge it. Thankfully I dont really believe that

Yeah hopefully! Hmm yeah theres a part of me that says anybody in sleep-mode deserves it (and there are a fair few Americans like this still, unfortunately), but I dont think anyone deserves the kinda tyranny the deep states planning - its just way too inhumane

Great post, so true. No way in hell should the government have this much power.

What has given the Governors this amount of power? Is it because they have issued a state of emergency? If so, isn’t there some sort of time limit on a state of emergency? What’s to prevent them from never lifting the emergency?

Somehow the courts are also not stepping in to do anything about it and the police are enforcing this crap as well. So much for supporting the police. The entire system is corrupt.

I am starting to agree with this supposed “support for the police”. I have several good friends who are officers and I believe they will do whatever they have to in order to not cause waves in their departments. It’s very disappointing.

As an American, I'm embarrassed that Europeans are taking to the streets in the thousands to protest lock-down bullshit while half our population is applauding "100 days of mask".

More than part. No matter though. Only about 1/4 of the population took part in the first revolution.

Part of the country once thought they should be ruled by a King. You know how that went.

If citizens fear their government, they are a slave. If government fear their citizens, they are free.

Agree. It's not just governments. What about the corrupt corporations who got to stay open this whole time and make you genuflect with your mask prior to overcharging you for any item that you choose to buy?

People have forgotten that we are a federation of individual republics. Likely because schools don't teach the truth. Most of the population has forgotten how much power their state has, and pays little attention to the elections of their governors and state legislatures. Hopefully that changes.

What authority do they have to issue lockdowns anyway? Where is this power defined?

Unfortunately it looks like Dewine (Ohio) it gearing up to attempt that again if his facebook post today is any indication. I had a coworker share it with me because I had "Called it months ago". I resist where I can, but our jobs mandate masks and have fired people for not wearing them or not enforcing it.
