There’s a flip side to this. People who called themselves principled and free Americans irreparably damaged their reputations when they caved to this nonsense in the first place. Just because you are happy that your slave masters removed their mandates now does not mean you won’t bend over and take it again next time.
Absolutely right! I continue to be astonished by how many people either have no principles, have no understanding of what it means to live in a free society, or are simply too stupid and ignorant to be given that responsibility.
