This is the very best strategy. The authorities are behaving like narcissists en masse. The best strategy when dealing with narcissism, is to use a 'Grey Rock'.
It works way better than yelling at them or arguing with them. All that arguing does, is give them energy. Even if the argument is logical, or presents material data from PhD doctors: these people do not work on logic, they work on gaslighting - which means that their real purpose is that they mean for one to question one's own sanity, and pretend that consensus = truth. This also explains their presentation of outrageously bogus 'facts'. It is meant to start arguments - and that will give them precious time.
They know they have about 18 months to two years to benefit from mob gaslighting, before sane people figure it out, and convince the other people that the edicts were wrong. Meanwhile the narcissists thrive on energy that is given them, even if it is negative. They love arguing. Also, in the fog-of-war they make opportunities for themselves to implement some of their dirty money-laundering projects. So watch for that.
Which means pepes must say 'no', and then walk away. No reasons for decision needed. The power-grabbers will be left powerlessly seething. Also, ATM employers are super-scared of losing more staff (they have lost many to illness and vax-injury, or anti-mandators), so saying no and maybe taking some paid leave right after that to prove the point, will soon have them re-calibrating.
Also, know that we are not alone. That was one of the weapons last time: they made each and every one of us feel like we were alone in the universe, and that we were the science-denier outliers for refusing any of it. By talking to lots of different people, and appearing bare-faced in public, taking the time to stroke the pussycats on the sidewalk, and shooting the breeze with pensioners, one will soon find like-minded people, who will be overjoyed to meet you. Slow down. Smell the roses. Your peace of mind infuriates them most of all. If (they) make one stand in long queues to buy bread - strike up a conversation with the people in front or behind you. Take your time and enjoy. The important part is to have normal human relationships.
Frogs say no. It's super-simple.
BTW, narcissism affects about 10% of the population. So one is bound to meet them in the course of life, and they come in all forms. There are also those flying monkeys who are affected by induced narcissism (prolly about 1 in 3 people)- sort of like the mindless karen-puppets that shriek at one to mask up, while wearing a ridiculous rag under their noses, or sitting in splendid isolation within their cars. If it gets too weird, say "I don't talk to walking bioweapons" and literally walk away. Do not engage them. They are lost, and must find their own way.
Unfortunately government, and health and safety jobs are like a honeypot to the dirty flies. So, there is a higher proportion of them in congress, or parliament, or local government or whatever. Expect about 3 in 10, instead of 1 in 10.
She's the best. She's been a bright light with a sharp and biting tongue who rails righteously against the crazed and blood thirsty Cabal.
