These last two years have been a real eye-opener for my kids, ages 33 and 30. Seeing businesses get shut down, business licenses suspended or canceled and even jailing for those who refused to shut down and/or abide by the mandates made them realize the intrusive nature of an unaccountable government.
The fact that churches, schools and individuals etc all fell in line made them aware of the power of that intrusive, unaccountable government to cow a free people into giving up nearly all personal liberties.
I will say that it has awakened in them a passion for the constitution and desire to do more than just vote.
You are a fortunate and exemplary mother.
