Agreed.

ANY violation of the People's liberty, without due process, is UNACCEPTABLE.

And the perps must be prosecuted for their crimes.

Unfortunately, you're dead-on mate.

We're all kings/queens of our respective castle, so in my sphere of influence (home, work, social gatherings on my property) it was "no masks/jab required, but you do you". I'm not gonna force anyone to comply, nor will I force them into noncompliance.

How it should have been from our government.

I voted for Abbott today, and frankly it felt disgusting because I haven't forgotten how he pulled a mask mandate and canceled all public events on the evening of July 3rd of all dates - or spent 350 mill for contact tracing, for that matter. (But I mean, obviously couldn't let Beto gain any ground so I had to do what I had to do). Point is, Texans can brag all they want, but if any of 'em are claiming their freedom wasn't under attack in 2020 then they apparently weren't paying any damn attention.

And who the heck didn't experience some form of oppression with the vax rollout? History will remember Covid as a worldwide attack on Freedom itself from all sides.

I was happy I lived in Texas rather than a blue state after the "2 weeks to flatten the curve" began, but I'd never say liberties weren't infringed here.
