A lot of people trust their FEAR as a guiding light in staying alive, or for doing the right thing.
Such folks cannot be persuaded to relax, to see that the darkest danger has past us by.
When I encounter someone like that (many in my family), I try not to argue with them. I will never convince them that the Sky is not just about to start falling if they meet someone walking around free and with no mask on.
They’ll get it after we achieve Herd Immunity. I suppose.
My 27 year old daughter refuses to see my wife and I until we quarantine for two weeks. She is an absolute wreck and our relationship with her has gone down the tubes.
If there was someone I could sue over this, I would in a heartbeat. This was totally uncalled for.
Intensive fear mongering by the Democrats and media has paid off. People are terrified, but texting while driving not so much.
Sometimes you get what you deserve.
We have some FReepers who fully supported this lockdown and would be all in with a second shutdown.
America is full of compliant sheep.
We’ll have a vaccine in less than two months. How do I know? Because the Dems are trying to tell people that the trials are rushed and the FDA is crooked so as to blunt the WORLDWIDE CELEBRATION FOR TRUMP’S SUCCESS when it is released.
...because until these people reach their own limits and start cheating on the requirements, they're not going stop fearing Armageddon
If there was someone I could sue over this, I would in a heartbeat. This was totally uncalled for.

I can identify. Our grand children are paranoid. My husband is ill with Parkinson's and they are freaking out about even coming and " visiting" outdoors and with masks on...I told them last week I would rather die of COVID than of a broken heart!! This whole thing is evil...
Americans no longer have a backbone, discipline, or an education. It is easy to lead them around by their emotions.
Even so-called medical doctors make ridiculous claims that violate common sense because they, too, have an agenda. Usually that agenda is making money, and COVID is a money maker for them.
“But it’s still supported by so many Americans”
Two possible reasons:
1. Many people are truly scared of the disease and it’s contageous-ness.
2. Many people who working at home for the time being are doing better than when they had to commute to work.
We know a lot of people who are genuinely terrified. I think a lot has to do with the community where you live. When neighbors are masked and people in the shops are masked, and schools remain closed, it becomes the norm. We live in a very politically liberal area, and people get their news from the propaganda pipeline. They are terrified together. Group think reigns supreme.
The Democrats and the media understand that most people are easily manipulated, either by ignorance, stupidity, or indifference. Their lies about COVID-19 are working beyond their wildest dreams and those who are buying into the media narrative are in a panic and acting irrationally.
This craziness may give us a Biden Administration, A Democrat Congress in both houses, and gains in State and local elections. Victor Davis Hansen (VDH) has predicted that this outcome would produce an end to the filibuster in the Senate, a packed Supreme Court of 15 justices, a fatal wound to the Electoral College, and abandonment of the Rule of Law. The Republic and the Constitution will not survive such an outcome.

Liberals Have been trying FOREVER, to get the US on the same page as the rest of the world’s violent, backward, failed countries.
This is their last straw, because nothing else has worked...or as Trump proved, ever will work!
When the government says “Just do what we say, WE’LL KEEP YOU SAFE” you are trading your freedom for the warm feeling of falsely thinking you are now safe.
Since mid-March, we have given up much freedom. Many have lost their jobs, their businesses, their investments in their businesses. (That was not an unforeseen side effect of the lockdown. It was the INTENTION!)
We believed the government, because they stood between us and the truth. Now the sorcerer behind the curtain is being revealed.
You can’t have a flimflam without gullible marks.
