We have been saying since this started that it was about control.

Sadly we live in such a weak society that they gladly gave up their freedom for a false feeling of safety against a virus that has a 99.5% survival rate.

What sucks is I don't care about the Coronabros giving up their own ability to enjoy life. They can go nuts and avoid cruises and travelling and everything and frankly I would enjoy that. The company would improve greatly.

But their sheepness and lack of reason means I can't even go on a cruise without masks and whatnot. And I enjoy cruises.

They're literally able to dictate how international cruise lines operate their cruises. Socially distanced sun bathing? Masks while socially distancing on the deck?

When vaccines are available for anyone who wants them?

Guys...this is beyond messed up. Our freedoms are GONE.

So are free and fair elections.

Some folks on here said that a year ago. Don't bother looking though because the history has been deleted.

I was, too.

None of it made any sense. Not the "two weeks", not the "zOMG, this is EbolAIDS in the air", none of it.

As always, I was right.

I was one of those against it from the start, and it's why Abbott has to go.

Freedom living conservatives saw the writing on the wall by this time last year, but we're publicly shamed for speaking up. Leftists, liberals, and faux conservatives didn't raise a big enough fuss thus let the problem grow to the monster it is today.

I didn't see many freedom loving conservatives speaking up against Trump's covid guidelines that Abbott used to destroy Texas businesses and our civil liberties. They blamed Fauci and Democrats...msm propaganda worked perfectly.

This is fair.

Think about if all we did was strongly encourage the targeted approach of telling older folks and obese folks that they needed to lockdown. Only them. Would have been reasonable and less negative to our economy and ways of life.

We assumed they had an unbiased interest in the public health. We found out they were just quacks.
