It's so sad. Almost everyone I know has this opinion. People nowadays don't understand what it's like to truly lose their freedoms. They'll soon learn their lesson when life isn't back to normal in 12 months, and isn't going to be either.

I hope I'm wrong.

I aim to remind every Biden voter that they voted for permeant mask mandates and lockdowns.

Don’t forget to remind them they’re low down dirty snitches and Commies.

I hope you're right about them learning their lesson, because my prediction is that people will be a bit miffed about it for a while, but then just kind of forget about it, only to fall face-first into the next trap.

You know, like the patriot act!

The lockdowns, mask mandates, social distancing etc are going to become common place for the most mundane viruses. People just don't understand that.

Indeed they don't. And if they finally do learn that, a good chunk will still just bend over and let the government ream them again during the next crisis because they'd rather be "safe" than actually be free to protect themselves from it. Surely this temporary government program/policy won't become permanent! Like the Income Tax! Or the Patriot Act!

Same song, different decade. It'd be funny if us freedom lovers weren't getting dragged into the shit with them...

The infuriating thing is that people are already safe, and if they take the appropriate precautions will be as safe as possible, but the media has convinced people that when they go out everyone they see likely has the virus and if they so much as look at them they will catch it, when the exact opposite is true. 80% of the population will never even catch the virus, and that's on the low end.

I've had to travel twice to foreign countries for a combined 6 weeks during the last 6 months, and both of those countries had high covid rates and were on quarantine lists for most other countries. I managed to keep myself safe while there, still went out to bars and restaurants, and so far haven't caught the virus. Meanwhile lots of people I know who are begging for more Government interventions, have barely left their houses have caught it.

These people are not able to think for themselves, they need to be told if they are safe or not. It's so mind boggling.

Just keep a bit of distance between anyone you don't know if you're unsure and constantly sanitize your hands if you touch things. I personally don't wear a mask unless it's absolutely necessary such as going on a plane.

It won’t become common place if the small business owner or independent contractor or restauranteur have nothing left to lose and rebel. It sure isn’t going to happen in the Church house for the third Great Awakening, it’s going to happen on Main Street when people literally cannot put food on their table or clothes on their back. The more the plutocrats continue to screw Main Street the more people will realize they have neither safety or security and masks and social distancing won’t mean a damn thing if you don’t have food, water, clothing, and shelter.

I hope you're right, but I fear you're wrong.

What I've come to realize from both covid and the election fraud is that VERY few people are willing to actually stand up and fight for their rights. People are terrified of being called out by the leftists and MSM that they will just put their head down and tow the line.

Well if this was a bioweapon, something worse will get unleashed and then authoritarianism will be  ´justifiably’ get cranked up to 11. Kinda like the WTC hit in 93 vs 01. COVID-1984 is the dress rehearsal. God knows what these unregulated labs are cooking.

I even see that sentiment here sometimes. Like I get these are dire times that call for drastic measures but the amount of liberties I see people advocating to sacrifice to meet an end frightens me almost as much as not doing so. Like if Trump crossed the Rubicon and, in the horrible scenario where he gets couped by someone within his own power structure, we could potentially end up with insurrection act, military tribunals and an actual dictator.
