Read the Bill of Rights, particularly the first amendment. Americans have an inalienable right to freely assemble. Government-mandated "social distancing" is in fact very real oppression and should be opposed for that reason, clever catchphrase or not. I won't tolerate masks either until they're adopted by popular consent as opposed to being enforced by midnight decrees, but those are less problematic (and that's perhaps more of a local issue) than the national lockdowns. Don't let them take away your rights on a whim "For your safety" or because they've made you scared and terrorized. Those are the tried-and-true (and--effective) tactics of dictators and oppressors all throughout history. Force them to stick to the proper political process. I do not for a moment believe the government is ever going to willingly give back the rights and freedoms it has of late appropriated, not without popular pushback. "Flatten the curve" for a couple months last spring has already turned into the better part of a year with no end in sight. I've made my decision, and I am putting own life on the line in the name of protecting my liberty and yours from those who seek to destroy it. Anyone who appreciates America should do the same.
Call me a "trumptard" if you wish, but the moniker would be rather odd seeing as I have never voted for him. I don't care what that man says. I'd oppose the present measures regardless of who's holding the federal executive office. Call me an ass if you wish, timid and frightened people have called me much worse out on the street. That is the standard fate of anyone who rocks the boat, so I accept it for what it is.
