The flood of illegals, the big baseball game in Texas, the states opening back up, it's all adding up to people realizing that it's a stupid scam.
Tennessee hasn't had a mask mandate for a while, but voluntary compliance was pretty high. Today I noticed a dramatic shift. A local gas station had 8 people in it, 7 maskless and one covidiot. My gym stopped the temperature check at the front door and not a mask in sight. The local grocery store was up to about 50% air breathers.
People might not appreciate how critical this is. Noncompliance removes Bidan's ability to somehow attribute the drop in Covid false positives to his ridiculous double mask and hide under the bed policy. They are completely losing the narrative.
I'm 79 and have never worn a mask and never will. Exception is doing stuff like power sanding fiberglass. Even for those coarse particles the masks are only semi-effective and you still get grit in your mouth and nose.
All this year, I've been astounded at how meek, subservient, obedient, compliant and cowed into submission my fellow Americans have become.
What ever happened to American manliness? Courage? Intelligence?
How could this idocy have overtaken my countrymen? Did they put something in our water? (Hint: yes.)
The first time a person submits to unreasonable control by some self-anointed "authority" is the beginning of a long slide into slavery.
The time to refuse is the first time anyone tries to hem you in. You let them succeed and they won't stop.
Does that actually need to be explained?
Well, I guess it does.
You make a very important point - you cannot give one inch. These little tyrants are never satisfied with a taste of power or a smidge of compliance. That only agitates them to push for more and more. the only solution is to understand the concept of Natural Law and never compromise on your rights.
The challenge is that the tyrants have the ability to exclude you from ordinary life functions as a consequence of refusing to comply.
