They want permission to do whatever they want, if they don’t get it, like any two year old they throw a fit. The bad thing is they’re armed and ready to literally kill the people in their way.
As the mandates take effect. I am terrified that we will begin to see people going postal on school boards and schools.

They see other people behaving like this and it only adds fuel to the fire - and they feel what they're seeing gives them permission to behave like this, too - anywhere and at any time. They really believe that they're "only" standing up for their "rights."

These people are getting on “TV” and yelling at board members and telling lies about Covid stats and every related thing. So they’re “famous” in their own ranks and are definitely egging each other on. It’s wild.

They feel it gives them "permission" to join in - and it's just getting worse.

Deep South and other Red Wastelands. National organizations and politicians just recognized their mindset and exploited it.
