They believe they have the right to do whatever they want but no one else has the right to do whatever they want, such as private businesses requiring vaccination or masks. They attack people wearing masks, sometimes physically, and their actions say that only they have rights. I really think this country is in worse shape than we realize from all the damage the right wing has done over the years.
