By and large all I see is our side caving on most things. Prayerfully you’re correct. I pray to God you’re correct. Literally
Me, too. Also literally.
Thinking about it today, I realized there either was no speech mandating vax, or it wasn’t reported, or it was ignored totally. I don’t think it ever happened and now the potato is taking a vacation.
I think they wanted mass protests, which also didn’t happen.
In my area, no masks. Not a word about vax or Covid on the sites for our Health & Human Services department. Our sheriff is making all sorts of event appearances and Sheriff Department site is all about actual responses to crime (we don’t have very much).
Never had any door knockers. No phone calls, even. Gas prices stable for the past couple of months (we’re a vacation area, so they rose in July.) Grocery stores well-stocked. Events going forward as normal. Not a word about mandatory vax or masks going forward for the school year.
If someone was out to foment fear and they come here, they’d look around and know they had failed.
Everything is a mess, but they are blustering rather than actually oppressing people, at least locally. Sometimes the only way to win is to refuse to recognize the game.
Caveat: We’re retired, so not to minimize the real fight people face in the workplace or in cities. Our one area of concern is the local hospital, which is part of a huge state-wide institution. We’re trying to avoid them for now.
