    We just reached a point where they feel confident in going full mask off. They have subverted the american democracy and are poised to do it elsewhere too, and can pursue their hideous goals more openly.

            I don’t know. That seems pretty fragile these days with so many people barely scraping by. Sure most of us have enough for food but what else do we have? And they seem to be making no effort in improving our quality of life. In fact they are deliberately sabotaging it.
