Let's state the obvious. Zelensky wouldn't play ball with trump. Now he needs to be made an example. The trumpublicans are all in on the revenge/grievance thing. NATO is next. A bunch of sore losers ready to blow up the world because they lost.

I cannot wait for whatever minor inconveniences we suffer in the US (temporarily high gas prices?) are given the full "mask mandate" / my freedums treatment.

At least temporarily high gas prices would be like, some actual material detriment? And an economic one, which is often the most significant type of detriment.

Mask mandates were and are not a detriment economically, but only a slight personal inconvenience (framed as freedum) offset by the utility of basic health precautions, pandemic be damned.

Not even sure why I felt the need to differentiate, except that maybe this falls once again into the long list of Q not knowing which detriments are really worth getting outraged about.

Or, perhaps it’s to distinguish what sorts of consequences of military force abroad could equate to some assault on mah rights back at home.

Now I’m really musing, but what if today’s freedum crowd was around when the heightened airport security measures were imposed after 9/11? Were there any magaheads back then, or still now, refusing to take their shoes off and such?

No, because terrists. Magaheads hate terrists, and people that look like terrists, or have names that sound like terrists, and so on.

Shoulda named the variants Muslim names instead of using Greek letters to get them to take it seriously.
