I don't care what names you call me. I don't care what petty phrasing and changing of words you attempt to employ. I am a free American. I will continue living as a free American uninhibited by your fear. I will continue uninhibited regardless of what your shit government lackies try.
You wanna wear a mask? You wanna live in fear? I don't care. I am living however I choose and there is NOTHING you or anyone can do to stop me.
Yes... we ALL should have...
But at the same time, maybe we're mistaking compassion and patience for insecurity. Even still, though, you are correct. This MUST be the attitude if we are to remain free.
