"Those who think of freedom in this country as one long, broad path leading ever onward and upward are dead damned wrong. Many a time freedom has been rolled back--and always for the same sorry reason: fear."
Molly Ivins wrote that 17 years ago. It still holds true today. That is the siren call of the GOP during this decade: "Give up a little freedom, a little liberty, and you'll be safe." That was the call of the Democrats in the early 1990s: "Give up some of your rights to own guns and we'll keep you safe."
It's all bullshit.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
