This is a time when the American people were locked in their homes possibly for the first time in American history. Leadership told the populace not to wear a mask and then to wear a mask. Next, they told the populace to wear multiple masks. Then the government forced citizens to take an unproven vaccine, and later we learned that the United States funded the research laboratory that created the virus and tried to cover it up. Soldiers, nurses and police were threatened with termination if they did not take the vaccine. During the lies and oppression, the citizens went more than a little crazy. If you participated in a left leaning riot, you were given a pass on the mask mandate, but if you were the average law-abiding citizen your rights were stripped away. The crazy thing is we tried to act like this was normal. The talking heads on the six o’clock news tried to convince the citizenry that this was the new normal. In the new America we are no longer a free people. Our voices were lost. If one group does not like what you say or write, they will shout loudly, and denounce you, so you no longer have a voice. Ignorance shouts while intelligence civil man debate . A small minority of people have appointed themselves the arbitrators of truth and forced their will upon the unwilling. The sane could see through the insanity, but most people, in large cities, just simply ignored it and hid in their homes or purposely blinded themselves to reality of the situation while their world burned.
