I was thinking of that very point when I posted. Rats wield fear with a club, and that is what forms the basis of support from their enablers. These modern day Rat ringleaders have even forsaken their patron saint FDR in that regard. In their hearts, I'm convinced, Americans know the country cannot survive indefinite lockdowns.
Rats manipulate those who prefer safety over liberty; and while that may be a good starter in US politics, it's a lousy finisher.
“Rats manipulate those who prefer safety over liberty”
And it’s surprising how many of the safety-over-liberty FReepers there are. I had no idea.
