I think the fear that we’ve lost our rights is completely unfounded

In a sense, I think you're correct, Danny, although this loss-of-liberty fear is not "completely unfounded". It's true that our liberties still exist even with the Constitution temporarily suspended by the "faux-king" governors in many states ... It's just that the only way to exercise your freedom is in secret ... that's what's fearful.

Do not the many states where “the faux-king governors” exist, have legislatures and courts. Do they not have checks and balances? Yes of course they do. But the people’s elected representatives agree with the actions the governors have taken.

What freedoms have we actually given up that we have “to exercise in secret”?

The freedom of speech is still there. We can post any stupid idea on Free Republic or tweet it or....

The freedom to bear arms is still there. I know there was a mayor or two that went full communist, but I believe they were quickly met with lawsuits.

The freedom of religion is still there. No one is telling you what to believe.

The freedom of assembly is the only right that we’ve temporarily foregone, and that’s only because exercise of that right at this time risks spreading disease.
