Whats the alternative to hoping enough American feel enough pain to come to their senses, curl into a ball?
I think the alternative is stop thinking of the “common welfare” much beyond the boundaries of self, family, close friendships and social groups ie, churches) and maybe your local community
People who are isolated by choice or by chance, and/or in large impersonal urban/suburban settings, better start developing some type of associations and build community ties, or really learn to live as lone wolves overseen by a falsely benevolent big brother government
figure out what we the people can still truly control, and then control it
