I do believe the POTUS wants us to demonstrate our capacity to stand on our own two feet and push back on illegal, oppressive actions.
I totally agree. I do have a question however, why do you think people are so afraid of doing something so simple as taking off the stupid masks en mass? At the Trump rally there were pretty much no masks on, and no social distancing. I don’t believe POTUS would put us in harms way, so why are people complying?

I’m guessing they are being made to feel that they are breaking legitimate laws.
In the bible, there’s a section about obeying the law. It never got down to the level of fake laws and coups etc.
There’s social conditioning to consider. Psychologists did an experiment where smoke was pumped under the door of the waiting room in which one test subject, and two other test participants were seated. The participants acted unconcerned and social conditioning of the test participant held them in place, silently flipping the pages of a magazine, while the room filled with smoke. That test subject would look with concern at the others, but as long as they acted like all was well, the test subjected remained silent.
I think decades of “learned helplessness” have taught the public that what they do does not impact anything. It used to be that protests (for good causes) brought change, but with corruption, it brought nothing. Votes, laws, civic action were ignored. Laws that Obama ignored were not enforced. The connection between action and reaction was broken.
Obama promised that the Obamacare legislation would be transparent, offered to the public and fully discussed and understood before being voted on. Then Witch Pelosi and her fake face were animated to form the words, “We have to sign the law so you can see it.” Objections fell on deaf ears. They owned the voting box so they didn’t have to worry about blow back.
The public has seen this and no longer believes what they do matters because government was “broken” for so many years, they don’t think it works “anymore”.
On the subject of “learned helplessness”, there were (cruel) experiments in which the flooring was electrified and a dog was subjected to painful shocks but not allowed to escape.
Once transferred to an area with a low gate he could jump, he lay down whimpering and tolerated the shocks. He had been psychologically conditioned to believe there was no escape - that outside the gate the flooring would shock him too.
We the People have been test subjects in psychological experiments and training for years. No point in criticizing ourselves for being the targets of CIA psychological operations. The MSM was always on hand to “teach” and “reinforce” object lessons etc.
I recall a psychologist commenting, back when I thought it was crazy and a “conspiracy theory”, that our television programming and entertainments were designed to psychologically traumatize the public because traumatized people are more easily controlled and conditioned.
He cited as an example night clubs wherein flashing strobe lights meant people couldn’t see who was approaching them in the dark only to be repeatedly startled with blinding flashes of light which had the effect of distorting otherwise normal perceptions of people who suddenly appeared at close range. He noted that it was like some of the conditions in a battlefield at night, and was designed to induce trauma.
Our television programming is now bizarre. I stopped watching a science-y type program when it stopped being about mystery and turned to gore. The remake of Stephen King’s movie, IT, was incredibly gorey with Pennywise the clown eating the arm of a child in full “technicolor”. My 17 year old friend is so battle hardened by American Horror (the television show) that the constant slayings and betrayals are “exciting” to him.
We have much conditioning to overcome. It’s easy to become frustrated (I confess I am) but some of the public had legitimate traumas that made them more succeeptible to this conditioning, in addition to other burdens (mental health, physical health, job stress,divorce, deaths etc.) and we’ve all had the CIA using the entire population as lab rats for decades. :/
May God open our eyes and set us free again and again.
I think it is the presence of so many self appointed ‘monitors of the state’ and the way that dissenters are publicly humiliated by the media. People don’t want to cause a fuss when they’re just going to the store.
