Well-stated. I’ve written about that as well, but not in such detail. The only thing I’d argue against in your comment is with my own historical observations:
The nature of that effect appears to be almost exclusively with non-Conservative parents.
“Almost.”
I understand why conservative adults may get these shots, especially if they're in a high-risk strike zone.
But the kids...well...that's just mind-blowing.
As a sidebar on this topic, there is a subset of conservatives who have a robust, post-apocalyptic skill set. And I don't mean guns, freeze dried food and a bunker. I mean, a mindset that foremost asks "how do I AVOID the collective will?" It isn't easy...there are roadblocks, and henchmen along the way.
Take homeschooling...sure, it's legal. But in some cases you have to file papers with the district. If you don't want that, you have to move to a state like NJ which -strangely - is very accommodating. Will people move to that hell hole? And if they do, are they prepared for the familial criticism and societal bashing?
Some people mistake being vocal and out there with opinions as a condition for this mindset to thrive. On the contrary...camouflage is a key ingredient. George Carlin said the Class Clown isn't the guy who got the laughs...it's the guy who planted the jokes but, in many cases, someone else got the blame.
