Sovereign citizens, not about to have damned government tell them what to do, can be so easily manipulated, herded and goaded into doing what their masters want. From"magas" to "lock her up" to flash mobs violating pandemic-necessity stay-at-home orders, they can be counted on to act like the little lemmings that they are. They all read the same insane drivel, the conspiracy fantasies, the fake science, the lies, and believe every word. And yet, they say it is liberals and progressives, all the people who think, reason, feel, and care, who are the snowflakes, the sheeples.

It would almost be funny if it were not in the process of getting us killed.

See: Dunning-Kruger. It then makes perfect sense.

They don't know how much they don't know and don't seem able to find out just what it is that they don't know because they don't know how and can't be bothered to find out what it might be.

Imagine if you will...

A world where people live inside little bubbles lined with propaganda posters and who have an uncanny sense that they have it all figured out and know more about what is really going on than the average person. Then, those people find a figure head who knows that and takes them on a thrilling joy ride of destruction, anarchy and dictatorship in...

The Trumplight Zone!

Mindless sheep choose to remain ignorant. They are the most easily manipulated.

In the meantime, take your own words to heart. rePuticans do not take any of this seriously and are going out of their way to invade social distancing of others. That means you and me. Our spaces and health are under threat because of their righteous intentional acts. Be prepared to defend and cleans yourself upon what will certainly be personal assaults.

We have the right to defend ourselves and our families. I'd just recommend doing so with conscious thought; avoid them at all costs. Let Covid-19 and Darwin's Theory do the rest to cull their herd.

Hitler and the Nazi Party took some of the sleaziest lowlifes off the streets of Germany and made them feel like they were somebody and part of something important. Many of these same people would do absolutely anything they were told and were completely loyal until they blew their own heads off after Hitler did in 1945.

There seems to be a similar mindset with the Trump cultists of today.
