There are too many cockroaches—if we ignore them, they destroy the foundation of our Republic.
I am sure, to him, this is like "COVID Sharks With Frickkin' Laser Beams".

"Heh. Blowdarts. What a concept. No. What we will do is remove the right to get a driver's license or inspection sticker for your car unless you [INSERT DESIRED COMPLIANCE ACTION HERE]. Without [INSERT DESIRED COMPLIANCE ACTION HERE] you can't be employed. You can't get on a train or a bus, and definitely not on a plane. You won't be able to leave a state. You won't be able to send your kids to school. You won't be able to send your kids to day care. You won't be able to buy health insurance, and if you do go to a hospital, they won't let you in. You can't stay at a hotel. You can't go to a concert. You cannot even go to a grocery store, or a gas station since we will require everyone to use electronic payment, and your electronic payment will be blocked if it is used in certain places like restaurants or hardware stores. We will blanket those people with the newest version of the "Intolerable Acts". We will get them to the point they will beg us to allow them to [INSERT DESIRED COMPLIANCE ACTION HERE]. And we will deny them that until we are good and ready to "allow" them to [INSERT DESIRED COMPLIANCE ACTION HERE].
