I was on a plane last weekend, and the young lady next to me was wearing a mask - she was very pleasant. She politely told me that she wasn't wearing it because she was sick, but was trying to avoid what was going around. I politely responded, "No worries". Of course, she took it off to eat and drink

The Leftist authoritarians have succeeded in striking irrational fear into people. Those people become their "weapons" - subtly, such as those who enforce/encourage meaningless masking, and not so subtly with those who impede law enforcement and harass and assassinate those they disagree with. The Left will do everything possible to erode an individual's sense of independence and pit the fearful ones against those who do not fear. It's also why the Left hates traditional Christian religion so much. The Leftists can't survive among people who believe in traditional Judeo-Christian values. The Left is fine with lying to achieve whatever ends they deem necessary. Remember when CNN obviously posted misinformation and I pointed it out to
@dad4? He responded that it was OK since they were trying to get people to wear masks. Leftists share this approach with Muslim teachings. This shared belief is why they partner so well now. Bearing "false witness" is a sin for Christians, and a way of life for Leftists and Islamists.
Internationally, there is some room for optimism among those who believe in the values that made our country great. The past few years have given me a deep appreciation for the raw courage of the Iranian women standing up to their evil leaders. If only we had more people like that here in the US to stand up to the vile, authoritarian Leftists. It is also encouraging to see many Venzuelans standing up and speaking out against the fools on the Left here in the US and abroad who support Maduro. Of course, you'd see little of this on the captured MSM. Praise God for X and Musk.
