@olmaverick I feel like this needs a little more. From what I've seen it seems like a lot of people feel it's more empty pandering than actually doing anything to help. Similar to companies whose support of the LGBT+ community is nothing more than putting up a Rainbow flag in June.
Something I've been thinking about is the fall of the Roman Empire. An empire that was already in decline and then finished off by a plague.
While not completely the same, some of the parallels to today are concerning.
@munin The worst part is it sounds like exceptions can be granted by the Federal Government which I read as 'This doesn't apply to anyone who bends the knee. '
This was Elijah McClain.
He wore masks due to his anemia and Colorado weather.
Someone called 911 on him and the police held him down, beat him, and injected him with ketamine.
He went into cardiac arrest and died.
Elijah liked to play his violin for stray cats to calm them.
Once again, if you have the power to oppose Trump and his allies, you can either leave quietly, or you can leave loudly, but you will be removed.

@IanColdwater My dad passed away two years ago this month and I'm having a hard time today. I can't even fathom how hard it is for those who have had their fathers stolen from them.
@munin One time pointed out the changes I saw and he said the insidious thing about Fox is they try making you angry at those who disagree with their views, and when you're that angry it's too easy to be blinded to anything else.
@munin He went from MAGA-levels of far-right to a mostly moderate Republican who also openly supported LGBT+ rights and socialized health care. Also if we disagreed on a political point he went from angry screaming and ranting to wanting to having actual civil discussions.
