I would say that the majority of the country trusts this administration as well as Fauci. Look at Biden’s approval rating RE handling of the pandemic! Maybe in your weird little Facebook bubble your statement rings true.

It’s a very relevant question.
We’ve been arguing back and forth about our philosophical differences on lockdown vs non-lockdown,masking vs non masking, etc for over a year. While theoretical arguing is all well and good at the end of the day it is what it is, theory.
What if freedom lovers like myself simply say (and have been saying for over a year) “no”. No, I won’t socially distance, no I won’t wear a mask or no I won’t limit how many people are in my private residence? Well, I think we all say what happens- the lockdown/masking crowd is simply impotent.
Is this something that happens often where you live?
People obviously have a right to resist arrest then too. You must carry these firm beliefs over into other topics with consistency... right?
It was an exaggerated scenario dipstick. Do I witness people without masks purposefully making others uncomfortable as a form of “owning the libs”? Not everyday but enough that it’s a thing.
I don’t know if this was directed at me, but to answer your question- yes.
I would hope I have the moral courage to resist arrest (or ideally try not to get caught in the first place) when it comes to what I consider tyrannical laws. I wish throughout history more people would have resisted tyrannical laws and regimes.

Gee.
24/7 fear mongering propaganda is effective on most people.
Thanks for the brilliant insight
We weren't successfully fear-mongered. We rationally chose to avoid contact with others, except with masks or outside at a distance, and that helped us avoid getting a virus that caused nearly 600,000 deaths in this country in the past 13 1/2 months. Vaccines are already mandatory for all kinds of situations and they are a major contributor to the long life expectancy we all have today. What is so different about these vaccines than those for small pox or MMR or typhoid or yellow fever? Taking vaccines is just good sense and it is why we don't have mass outbreaks of any of those diseases. Wearing a mask just protected ourselves and others and permitted society the resources to take care of those who did get infected. Republicans pass laws banning hanging air fresheners on the rear view mirrors of our cars but they don't think we can have social distancing policies in the midst of a crisis? Honestly, had Trump consistently said that this was a crisis and we should have the stones to distance, mask up, and get the vaccine, he would still be in office and Republicans nationwide would have gotten the vaccine by now.

Very true. His mishandling of COVID cost him re-election

If President Trump and the Brojos got the vaccine, then why do guys like Jamin and Unkle not want it?
Because Trumpers do not care for Trump. They hate the people who hate Trump.
They are refusing the vaccine in order to offend the libs.
To receive a diagnosis of anti-social personality disorder (ASPD), someone must be older than 18. Their behaviors must show a pattern of at least three of the following seven traits:
1) Doesn’t respect social norms or laws. They consistently break laws or overstep social boundaries.
2) Lies, deceives others, uses false identities or nicknames, and uses others for personal gain.
3) Doesn’t make any long-term plans. They also often behave without thinking of consequences.
4) Shows aggressive or aggravated behavior. They consistently get into fights or physically harm others.
5) Doesn’t consider their own safety or the safety of others.
6) Doesn’t follow up on personal or professional responsibilities. This can include repeatedly being late to work or not paying bills on time.
7) Doesn’t feel guilt or remorse for having harmed or mistreated others.

No. I was simply pointing out the irony of blind loyalty to a government apparatus...

I heard that 100% of the people who get the vaccine will die.

whenever you start calling people "sheep" most people stop listening

Fauxci needs to retire. Who would have thought an 80 year old man would still be such a narcissist. Doing everything he can to stay in the headlines and prolong the Democrat power grab.

He’s been out in his position by the POTUS and his predecessors. They and the pandemic put him in the headlines.

No. Never. "Freedoms" are based on convenience.
Individual Liberty argument is nonsense. Because it only applies when it suites conservatives. You think they would be OK if their neighbor who may or may not be African American decides that they like to play hip hop music at loud volumes at 3am every day? Maybe their neighbors spray paint BLM on the walls that face their house. Their property, their rights.....right?
Riiiiiiight...

As a Libertarian I’m ok with everything you described here.
