Look. The time has come to stop beating around the bush. No more Mr. Nice Guy now. We are in a war against people who want to destroy our way of life and our freedoms. They’re using covid to do it. They’re trying to manipulate you and exploit your emotions. 1/x
“Just wear the damn mask, it protects everyone around you.”
“Just take the damn vaccine, it protects everyone around you.”
“Don’t see loved ones for the holidays. It’s just one holiday.”
“It’s not about YOUR rights; it’s a temporary inconvenience.”

I got news for every gullible and feeble minded American: the above statements you keep hearing are false. This isn’t temporary. You think they’ll stop once the vaccine is out? No. 100% could be vaccinated and they’ll still want us masked, distanced, same restrictions as now. 3/x
It’s not your job to make others feel safe. It’s not your job to protect everyone’s health. It’s not your job to “protect” hospitals (they serve you). It’s not the government’s job to keep you from getting sick, but to protect your rights, and govt failed miserably. 4/x
You haven’t protected your own rights either. You failed miserably. You let govt and businesses walk all over you in the name of health, safety, and business “policy.” You’re Americans and you’ve brought shame to yourselves, your ancestors, the Founding Fathers, and the flag. 5/x
COVID is essentially a cold; to some it’s a flu. People can get pneumonia from a cold or the flu. People that you’d consider “low risk” can die from the flu. It happens. The 2017-2018 flu season saw hospitals jam packed. 80,000 Americans dead. We didn’t close a thing… 6/x
…We didn’t mask up. We didn’t “stay home to save lives.” Aren’t you tired, America? Aren’t you tired of the sanctimonious virtue signaling? Aren’t you tired of being manipulated and exploited? Or do you like being abused? 7/x
Because that’s what your governor, mayor, health officials, Fauci, Birx, the CDC, etc. are doing - they’re abusing you. They’re the abusive spouse/partner. They blame you for covid. They blame you for the sickness. They blame you for the dead. 8/x
They give you “rules” to follow and their low friends in the media casually refer to them as “covid laws” even though these “rules” aren’t laws. They tell you things will get better if you follow the rules. Some won’t follow them, some will. 9/x
And even if you do follow these “rules,” it’s not enough. You’ll get blamed for the spike or the numbers not going down. “It’s not enough. We must do more. We have no choice.” And then you’re punished. And the cycle continues. The cycle of abuse. 10/x
It doesn’t take a genius to see this. We need to bring back healthy skepticism. Stop trusting the govt, the media, and the “experts.” Question it. You’ll easily see the holes in what they’re saying. If enough of you ignore these people, the restrictions end. 11/x
And think of it this way, by choosing to “stay home to save lives,” you’re hurting businesses and their workers that rely on busy foot traffic INSIDE of the walls of their business. So does that mean you don’t care about others? 12/x
Does that mean you’d save your own ass at all costs? The cost of not dining out, which takes tip money away from a server, and they now can’t feed their family, pay their bills, clothe their children. You give money to Walmart and Amazon, but screw over your mom & pop store. 13/x
Even “small private chains” are important. Lots of employees. They’ll lose their jobs and any benefits they receive. I guess you don’t want them to have healthcare, a paycheck, or food on their table. See how this shit works? Do you like being guilt tripped? Didn’t think so. 14/x
I could endlessly list reasons to support going back to normal despite coronavirus numbers being up. But the list of reasons to keep all of these restrictions and limitations in place is very limited. To paraphrase a friend, many have stopped living so they don’t die.

I say, live each day like it’s your last. Stop WASTING time. Stop making empty sacrifices that further an empty cause. Take your mask off, shake hands, hug a friend or family member, be with the ones you love. 16/x
Turn off your tv and ignore the poisonous cancer that is your governor, health official, Fauci and Birx and CDC Director Redfield, and the media. They don’t have skin in the game. Think for YOURSELF instead of letting them think for you. 17/x
It’s time to stand up, and tell your govt they’ve overstepped, and that YOU are stopping their overreach. If this thread has inspired you to finally stand up and say #EnoughIsEnough, share it with many many others who are yet to wake up, or are on the fence. 18/x
Bookmark this thread, screenshot it, print it off. Or just paraphrase it. Or come up with your own words. But knowledge is power. It is incumbent upon US to stop this. We can’t rely on govt or courts. It’s us that bring us back to a full normal. Let’s get it done. 19/x
