More collectivism from the collectivists. So she wants to punish "men" in general, as if all men are responsible for her gripe of the day.
And while collectivist about all men, make no mistake she has another group that she really hates. No doubt she has a stereotype in her mind of evangelical, white, straight, Trump supporting men, and if she had her way...
These people want you dead.
Yes, but who are "these people"? I'm sick of people trying to convince me my next door neighbors want me dead. The people who pay people to spam the internet want me dead. They've wanted me dead since before the internet was invented. I haven't exactly been sending them Christmas cards either.
When someone wants me dead, you'll just have to excuse me for asking exactly who wants me dead. If they fool me into thinking it's my neighbor, and I kill him preemptively and get myself an overtly lethal injection, who wins?
OK is not Berkley or Cambridge or Queens or Chicago...I imagine most of your neighbors are well adjusted, salt of the earth kind of folks.
That is not at all the case in many places around the country.
Seriously who wants to $#@! Bette Midler?![]()

Antifa types, the hard leftists, those who are strict adherents to the mask, the people wanting to force lockdowns on everyone else. It gets to a point for them where our types become too difficult for them to understand, so we become lost causes in their eyes. Bolsheviks operated similarly, as I recall learning.

Read a news story the other day: two half brothers who were also next door neighbors, got into a vaccination argument. The end result being the older half brother shot the younger half brother in the face, killing him. The newz did not specify who was arguing which point.
I haven't got neighbors, to speak of anyways, the nearest home is hundreds of yards away, a farm across the road, the lady there, while kooky, is pretty solid "Live Free or Die" type.
But my buddy down in the belly of the beast on Cape Cod, he has gotten death threats for flying politically incorrect flags or messages or, once, a cross at Easter.

The radicals want you dead (BAMM). Some of the elite would rather have you dead if you question them or don't obey them.
But those are probably not your neighbors, and would be a very small portion of the population.
Of greater concern is how many people would kill you if ordered to. Not that they would want to do it, but if directly ordered to do it, they would do it. The Milgram experiments showed that approximately 2/3 of the population will kill when ordered to by a higher authority. With the proper demonization of a group, say anti-vaxxers, when the orders come down, 2/3 of your neighbors who support the Fauci-Pharma-establishment would reluctantly help to eliminate you.
Now it would probably never come down to that being forced on your neighbors, because others, like that Army woman who said she would shoot you, would do the dirty work first. And given appropriate orders and immunity, Antifa types would gladly join in before it ever came down to your neighbors.

There you are. Kill the shepherd and spare the sheep, and you win.
Killing the sheep that bleat the loudest just gives the shepherd time to kill you. And gives the herd's few rams time and motivation to screw up their courage and help him do it.
They won't ever deploy locals to their areas. During communist times, in Czechoslovakia they of course had mandatory military service. Czechs were stationed in Slovakia, while Slovaks were sent to the Czech SR. That wasn't by coincidence.
As an additional note, just because your neighbor won’t kill you doesn’t mean they won’t turn you in to the DNC Gestapo.
The DNC Gestapo?
I don't know what that is, but I get your general point.
Why did they close the churches?
One, all through the history of this country, Republicans and Democrats have worshipped God in the same building at the same time. They had no choice but to concede each others' humanity. Face to face, forced to be civil, they are more likely to look for commonalities and solutions than put chips on shoulders and draw lines in sand.
Two, the government doesn't just want us to think it's better at helping people out than we are at helping each other, it wants us to forget we even can help each other.
Three, that sense of community and faith combined makes many things possible. Without it, how do people realize their common power? I remember when a wide variety of churches decided Nestlēs needed to stop telling women worldwide their crappy formula was better for baby than breast milk.
When anyone anywhere any time wonders if submitting to the present "system" is more intolerable than fighting in your own streets, they weigh the best case scenario they can carve out for themselves than the bloody price they pay to possibly get something better. And some have a god complex that deprives them of a conscience, and Left or Right go around muttering "there ought to be a law" like [MENTION=65299]Swordsmyth[/MENTION]. Others realize you can only get as much liberty as you give.
Is it a coincidence that this time and these increasingly intolerable conditions coincide with the decline in churches? Or is that the very accomplishment that emboldened them? Because it used to be that when American churches agreed to be disobedient, the ground shook.
I treat my neighbors well. When I disagree with them, I do it politely, and explain my thinking calmly and clearly. And I try to be smart enough to know what to omit.
They can gauge the temperature of people, and turn up the heat slowly. I can too. I can turn them using their own language. That helps keep them from jumping.
Be nice to your neighbors. Mow their lawn, if you have time. It's not that difficult to be more pleasant and helpful than the government is. What did Jesus do?
Churches stand up and take matters in their hands. Matters like investing the time to turn elections into mass community meetings, where no one leaves until everyone saw the issue decided. A bloodless revolution would be nice about November of next year. That would be the way to have one.
