Sure, if you like getting felt up by strangers (or, as noted, pony up for Precheck.)Can you go board a plane without having to have your body exposed to backscatter radiation?

It's not incoherent, it's about striking a medium between the extremes of total individual liberty (anarchy) and total security (tyranny). Which is why, frankly, I approve of it; other political philosophies that focus on maximizing one pole rather than finding a balance between multiple ones inevitably harm real human beings, because polar positions, both politically and geographically, are inhospitable to human life.The issue there is "can we afford to police everywhere?"
Not really. So that leads us to the paradox of liberalism. They wish to increase individuals power while increasing security. The two axioms exist at opposite ends and cannot be reconciled.
Probably why liberals are freaking the fuck out because their philosophy is incoherent.

The truth is among certain conservatives for decades there's been a growing fear of 'big liberal government'.Conspiracy theories about 'taking our rights' have flourished since the 1990's.The difference is that this pandemic for the first time fits somewhat with the paranoid worldview of them.Its the first time since 1945 that widespread measures of emergency rule have went into effect.Genuine emergency rule that is directly felt by all.For many this has led to apprehension.It just doesn't fit with their worldview in which America cannot fail.So they've doubled down on old time conspiracies about 'globalists'.Its also a sign of desperation.You can't shoot a virus but you can fight a real human.People want a human face to this crisis.Unlike 9/11 there is no human face to vent anger.Nobody likes an enemy that doesn't even remotely look like you.View attachment 1306150
Yes, there is a massive conspiracy that every doctor and scientist in the world is in on to make HCQ not look effective against a world-wide pandemic just to make Trump look bad. Oh and somehow the scientists knew it would be effective against Covid-19 15 years before Covid-19 even existed
Also, to respond to the "TAKING YOUR RIGHTS AWAY!" thing, during the Spanish flu certain governments enforced social isolation, which later ended up giving the "rights" back (and areas where social isolation happened had way fewer deaths). Although why anyone is exceptional enough to think the states want to keep people inside and mess up the economy is beyond me.
That's real rich coming from people who want to take away our rights to do things they don't like.The truth is among certain conservatives for decades there's been a growing fear of 'big liberal government'.Conspiracy theories about 'taking our rights' have flourished since the 1990's.

The people saying they know more than scientists about covid, covid is caused by 5G and Bill Gates is planting ID chips in vaccines are making fun of celebrities being dumbasses about science

No, it isn't. This is bordering on idolatry but, there are plenty of Trump idolaters who unironically believe he is literally the God emperor. Trump is quite literally their golden calf. I mean, I voted for Trump in 2016 but, the man has proven himself to be a total conartist and an absolute failure for the most part.

And yet they get mad when we don't treat them politically with respect. Like good lord how are we supposed to have debate on Trump's policies if you think he is literally an Angel of God? It's like reasoning with a cultist.It is amazing how widespread this belief is among evangelicals considering his behavior.
An angel? Just an angel?!And yet they get mad when we don't treat them politically with respect. Like good lord how are we supposed to have debate on Trump's policies if you think he is literally an Angel of God? It's like reasoning with a cultist.
The best part is how they get offended and say that because of you they're voting trump. Like they weren't already going to insta vote for orange man because he "says it like it is" aka acts like a retard.An angel? Just an angel?!
Trump is nothing less than the Twelfth Iman!
Arrogance and stupidity, all in the same package.The best part is how they get offended and say that because of you they're voting trump. Like they weren't already going to insta vote for orange man because he "says it like it is" aka acts like an exceptional individual.
