"We will not comply and Tyranny!" Over masks.......

The same folks who screamed ”We will not comply and Tyranny!” when masks were required, now say it is ok for the government to kill for not complying. We are all getting a first had lesson on how powerful the hold of a cult is on those trapped in it.

However, wearing a mask during a pandemic would require caring about people other than oneself and that's not in rightwing DNA.

Also, by and large, rightwingers said nothing about "protesters" violently storming the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, but believe Renee Good deserved to be shot for "obstructing" agents.

So many on the right behavior like illogical children.

the Capitol. MAGA calls her a "patriot," and the DOJ gives her family a $5M settlement.

4. Can we get it out there that Republicans' campaign message is "Comply or Die"

Would that get through to them? Or I was thinking of my next protest sign being their beloved Don't Tread on Me picture with "Or Shoot Me in the Face" underneath it.

Or should I stick with my previous idea:
Government Of, By, and For the people Is NOT Radical Left Socialism.

Maybe a 2-sided sign.

We are getting a lesson on how a cult can bully the rest of the population when that population is too programmed (by that same cult, I might add) to realize they don't have to put up with it.

And, we have not internalized that yet. I am very concerned that we will never do so.

We've seen this classic playbook many times throughout history.

RW screamed about needing to wear masks to avoid spreading a deadly virus, but no problem if they want to cover their faces to hide while they kidnap people.
