I work in a school. We are (basically) forced to wear masks, which at this point, I know who is and isn't cool about whether or not I have it on when I'm around them, so, it's whatever. But today, I was near the vice principal and he asked me, "have you gotten your vaccine yet?" (And SO FAR it's optional). So, I shook my head no, and he said, "well, I'll make sure to have my mask on when I'm around you, then. Also, I don't ever want to see you without your mask on, since your not vaccinated" (as if he's becoming okay with seeing vaccinated folks without theirs on). So, is this a little taste of what's to come? Are the unvaccinated going to be sub-classified? I sure felt like it today, literally for the first time. I know its VERY subtle. But there it was, right there! I know it will slowly ramp up from here. But there it was... Today marks the first day of the hint, that persecution is coming. I know it is. It's not a good feeling.

Then what instead?
Exactly. That's the issue. We can't reason with them. We can't out-shout them. We've been silenced and censored to the edge of the internet. Our political representatives no longer represent us.
Aside from massive public gatherings that draw media attention or start waking literally everyone up (I legitimately think 60%+ of the USA is awake, or partially awake)...
This feeling of being totally powerless is wearing me down.
