That doesn't mean I trust the government or believe that the government can pick a chose when we get our full rights. The Bill of Rights to protect individual rights when they are under attack or being limited. It doesn't need to exist to allow us to take actions the government supports. It exists to ensure we are allowed to take action the government would otherwise limit. If rights apply only on a circumstantial basis - they don't really exist.
How do we prevent the government from issuing these orders every flu season or every time there is (or they say there is) a potential danger lurking in the future?
Maybe think of this question in terms of things you don't agree with to gain a different perspective.
Trump shows us a slideshow of horrific numbers and scary estimates of mass deaths do to an uncontained disease outbreak in poor, shit hole countries. To stop the spread of this virus in the US we must completely close the border with Mexico (including increased border security to prevent people trying to sneak in) as well as a travel ban to and from various African, South American and Muslim majority countries deemed hot spots. California is also quarantined since the libs there encourage homeless encampments and love supporting illegal immigrants - both of which of course will increase the spread of the disease. How do we make sure Trump is doing what's truly right?
Going back to a document written in the 1700s to protest a virus in 2020 is some of the dumbest shit I have ever heard. Boy I have been saying that last bit way too much these last few years.
You know I read my bible the other day and it didn’t even mention the words Coronavirus or Covid. So we must get out to waive Trump flags and protest the mechanisms that prevent the spread of a deadly disease... These people are a special kind of stupid. My god..
