I knew this country was doomed a year ago when I witnessed the idiocy of FREEPERS (of all people) not only buying into the authoritarian bullsh!t being peddled by government and media ... but even getting on this website and scolding their fellow conservatives for refusing to shut down our lives and businesses.
Fear often changes people in ways that are difficult to predict and there was definite fear. In hindsight, we were being bombed by it non-stop via the media and often by those around us.
At some point, even when many understood who was at risk and who was not, nothing changed. Every glimmer of hope was crushed because “hope” was not allowed. The narrative of the “pandemic” had a higher goal. To get rid of Donald J. Trump.
It worked.
