First they get people to accept them by wrapping the pill in candy (lower rates), then they use those people’s acceptance to show that mandating them isn’t onerous or intrusive, then they mandate them.
“then they use those people’s acceptance to show that mandating them isn’t onerous or intrusive, then they mandate them.”
I don’t know about you, but the idea of any sort of government mandate is wearing thin with me. The Left wants absolute power over us and they are not even trying to hide it. They are trying to convince their loony base that evil white nationalists are everywhere and only the Democrat party can protect them. They will lay down their arms believing in their idiocy. Then the real fun starts.
