@SWAtlasHoover @SecAzar So very sad to see people wearing masks walking by themselves outside on a beautiful Fall day. No doubt they have no real understanding of why they wear them other than they were told to and everyone else is.

@SWAtlasHoover @SecAzar @EWoodhouse7 @boriquagato @stacey_rudin @MorningAnswer When you witness how so so many blindly follow orders without thinking for themselves or challenging or questioning, it becomes easier to understand how people readily forgo hard fought freedoms and welcome the mendacious entreaties of dictatorial fascists.

@SWAtlasHoover @SecAzar @EWoodhouse7 @boriquagato @stacey_rudin @MorningAnswer 2/n If you ask the mask wearers why they do it, they can recite mantras about protection or mandates or whatever, but none that hold up to scrutiny or science or even basic common sense.

@SWAtlasHoover @SecAzar @EWoodhouse7 @boriquagato @stacey_rudin @MorningAnswer 3/n If you are alone in the park or in your car, why on earth would you wear a mask? The most sensible answer, if you can call it that, is they uncritically do as they are told and as others do out of fear of social ostracizing for non-conformity. Think about that.

@SWAtlasHoover @SecAzar @EWoodhouse7 @boriquagato @stacey_rudin @MorningAnswer 4/n A similar principle holds true for leftists’ hatred of Trump. They denounce him, vilify him, call him names, but few can cite any rational basis for their hatred - other than he causes
their heads to explode with hatred.

@SWAtlasHoover @SecAzar @EWoodhouse7 @boriquagato @stacey_rudin @MorningAnswer 5/n Sure, they recite the same lines they hear from others without questioning or thinking. “He lies” “He’s racist” “He’s a fascist” “He’s responsible for COVID deaths”. Whatever. None of these or others stand up to fact based scrutiny, but no matter.

@SWAtlasHoover @SecAzar @EWoodhouse7 @boriquagato @stacey_rudin @MorningAnswer 6/n “He’s bad”. “He’s bad”. “It must be true because look how many people and reporters are saying it”. No matter that he presided over the strongest economy in decades; unemployment for low and middle income people, especially minorities, reached all time lows;

@SWAtlasHoover @SecAzar @EWoodhouse7 @boriquagato @stacey_rudin @MorningAnswer 7/n negotiated historic peace deals that others have tried and failed to do for decades; stood up to rather than pandered to or accepted bribes from enemies in China, Iran, Russia, and elsewhere; has begun to restore order to overwhelming and damaging illegal immigration;

@SWAtlasHoover @SecAzar @EWoodhouse7 @boriquagato @stacey_rudin @MorningAnswer 8/n provided unprecedented support for HBCs; orchestrated unprecedented response to COVID in the face of fierce opposition and obstruction from the left; brought troops home from endless senseless overseas conflicts;

@SWAtlasHoover @SecAzar @EWoodhouse7 @boriquagato @stacey_rudin @MorningAnswer 9/n overcame unprecedented criminal sedition, obstruction and impeachment efforts by opponents; beginning to expose and cleanse deep corruption within intelligence agencies and other government institutions;

@SWAtlasHoover @SecAzar @EWoodhouse7 @boriquagato @stacey_rudin @MorningAnswer 10/n believes in American greatness and follows the Constitution and the rule of law; and much more. Yet despite all this, uninformed people continue to vilify him and profess undying support for those who openly oppose all of that.

@SWAtlasHoover @SecAzar @EWoodhouse7 @boriquagato @stacey_rudin @MorningAnswer 11/n It makes no sense other than when seen through the lens of unquestioning, unthinking sheep.
