The United States is very obviously two different nations trying with no success whatever to share the same borders and the same government.
We seem to be choosing dystopia over partition, and we'll regret it for certain.

Religion....is the opiate of the people. Karl Marx, 1848

Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
You think wrong. And no one is saying the government should mandate vaccines. That's a strawman. I would happily visit any restaurant, sporting event, movie theater, or other venue that banned the unvaccinated. It should be happening right now, and in your quest for 'Freedom' you have assured that it will. So congrats.

So, you have been vaccinated with the COVID vaccine. Whatever happened to "Living with danger"? And your excuse is so 'others' would not be afraid?
BWWWAAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! Do you really expect me (and others like me) to believe that? That's got to be the
lamest reason to get vaccinated in the history of the world. I could give a shit if you got vaccinated. No sweat off my balls. But keep believing that you getting vaccinated made me (and others like me - I'm assuming you mean other Americans) less afraid. Whatever helps you sleep at night, Damo.
And where are all these 'Government Authoritarians' who are FORCING Americans to get vaccinated. Personally, the Government didn't have to tell me to get the vaccine.
I got it as soon as it was available. Nobody forced me. I was one of the first in line. All this bullshit about Government Overreach is just a silly far right wing scare tactic.
They never miss the chance to tell their minions that the Boogey Man is out to get them and they need RepubliQans to save them. Why? Because it works for them as their voters have proven over and over again.
At least we agree about Authoritarian Governments. You know, the type of Government that King Trump was striving to achieve (and still is).

Republican Congressman Ken Buck:
“We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”

TRUMP WILL TAKE FORTY STATES...UNLESS THE SAME IDIOTS WHO BROUGHT US THE 2020 DUNCE-O-CRAT IOWA CLUSTERFUCK CONTINUE THEIR SEDITIOUS ACTIVITIES...THEN HE WILL WIN EVEN MORE ..UNLESS THE RED CHINESE AND DNC COLLUDE, USE A PANDEMIC, AND THEN THE DEMOCRATS VIOLATE ARTICLE II OF THE CONSTITUTION, TO FACILLITATE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL, UNVETTED, MAIL IN BALLOTS IN THE DARK OF NIGHT..

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

It's not an excuse it is reality. Regardless. I still support others right to reject it too. They are less afraid, my action was not for them.
I've been through this argument before with another poster. My motivations may be different than yours, but they are understandable to anyone except a sociopath.
I got to choose something, you get to choose something, the reason I do it whether or not you would for that same reason is not what is up for debate. That is what I support, folks get to choose.
And the "Authoritarians" you can't find are the ones clapping over fascist rules in France and hoping for more of them here.
