I deal with it hard here in Denver, CO. We have a piece of work governor and its highly liberal so the vast majority are buying into the whole charade going on right now, we've been locked down two times in the last week and they're threatening for more. Our government here treats us more like misbehaving children than constituents and people can't even grasp that they are OUR "public servants". Would you ever let your servant do this? I'd be whipping out the bamboo stick for some lashings.
But, when it gets tough, best to work on yourself...and of course we can still help people understand online and lead them to good information!
