"What we’re witnessing is the dangerous normalization of a dystopian concept of “freedom” in which government dominates your life “for your own good.” "

Uh-huh.  This is the kind of crap all 20, 30 and 40 year olds actually, really and truly BELIEVE.  Good God in heaven.

Taking guns, giving dangerous vaxxzines, shutting down free speech, and numerous other "rights" will just plain disappear "for our own good".  Why do politicians always use that same tired, worn out lie to prop up THEIR lies???
