Isn't amusing to hear so many say the opposite? "If the US falls that's it for freedom. We're the last hope!"😂

Freedom, doncha just love that word. The US is the only country with freedom and democracy. Oh really!! Syria, Libya, Russia have/had freedom yet we call those leaders dictators. That's double speak for, "No way can we allow our people to see what other leaders have done for their people".

Three years of government enforced mandates, beat down at every site I visited, spent a night in jail for not wearing a mask. I thought I had freedom. Charges were resisting arrest (when I voluntarily put my hands behind my back) and disorderly conduct (when I simply cited the laws they were breaking).

The judge was sympathetic. He dismissed the former and I had to plead guilty to the latter. Or go back to jail. It took about 3 minutes for those words to come from my mouth, but come they did. Still, the Commonwealth countries had it worse. You know, those bastions of freedom and democracy.
