      “Go back to work, covid is only contagious for 3 days. Masks are no longer required and we will black bag you if you wear one to a protest.”

      They’re already doing this and Americans don’t actually care what they say, they just do what they want to. “You can’t tell me what to do” only comes out when the government tells them to do the opposite of what they want. When told to do the thing they were already going to do, they just take it as permission to do it to an absurd extreme. It’s not oppositional defiance, so reverse psychology doesn’t work. It’s individualist ideology taken to its logical conclusion.

      Nah that won’t work. Chuds have no consistency besides inconsistency, they have a counter-productive sixth sense for this shit. If the government tells them to do shit they don’t want to do that’s come from the Judaeo-Bolsehvik trans-satanist kabal. If the government tells them to do something they want to do that’s coming from the Patriots loyal to Trump within the system. That or they just strategically ignore things they’ve previously said.
