For the same reason that America will never be the same again. Millions of us will never be able to look upon some of our fellow Americans \u2013 including some of our friends and family members \u2013 as we once did, ever again.<\/p>\n<p>The ones who turned their backs on us \u2013 and worse \u2013 for questioning what we rightly identified as a mass hysteria they embraced. Who feared and loathed us, because we would not wear a \u201cmask\u201d \u2013 which we didn\u2019t because we knew that putting it on only fueled the mass hysteria. We didn\u2019t wear the things for their sakes as well as our own. For the sake of calm and common sense. To show normality rather than \u201cmasked\u201d insanity. For doing that \u2013 often at the cost of being denied not merely service but our ability to earn a living \u2013 we were abused as pathologically selfish, granny-killing ne\u2019er do-wells.<\/p>\n<p>They told us we weren\u2019t welcome in their homes at Christmas. That we weren\u2019t welcome, period. Unless, of course, we bought in to their hysteria and played along.<\/p>\n<p>We who questioned \u2013 and disobeyed \u2013 were cast out, by those who did not question and mindlessly obeyed.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these friends and family members would have supported more than just excommunicating us from their\u00a0 homes and lives and from society, generally. When the\u00a0<em>drugs<\/em>\u00a0that\u00a0<em>aren\u2019t<\/em>\u00a0vaccines were rolled out, many were in favor of everyone being forced to take them. Tens of millions of people were effectively forced to take them, being under duress. They were told to take the drugs \u2013 or take a hike. Lose your job \u2013 or lose your bodily autonomy and your self-respect, having bent knee to a violation of your body for the sake of grubby money.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the most hysteric wanted (and no doubt still want in their secret hearts) to see everyone forced to take the drugs they took, perhaps for the same vicious and ugly reason that some people resent people who \u201cget away\u201d with not being made to do what they were made to do.<\/p>\n<p>They then blamed us when they got the sickness they\u2019d been \u201cvaccinated\u201d against. The illogic of that escaping them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Logic? What is this &#8220;logic&#8221; of which you speak? Shitlibs and Fauxvid panic-ninnies (BIRM) know not of this phantasmagorical &#8220;logic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Now we are supposed to pretend it all never happened and sit down for Christmas dinner with these people. It is not quite sleeping with the enemy but it\u2019s not that far from it, either. For, no matter the superficialities, the feigned pleasantries of our previous association, they regard us with suspicion and contempt.<\/p>\n<p>Just as we so regard them.<\/p>\n<p>They know we know what they did, just as we know they know what we\u00a0<em>didn\u2019t<\/em>\u00a0do. They perhaps feel ashamed, some of them. In which case, it would help things greatly if they were to say so \u2013 and ask our forgiveness for what they did to us and supported being done to us. We might then be able to forgive them.<\/p>\n<p>But can we ever trust them again? Would George Washington have given Benedict Arnold another command, if he\u2019d apologized for betraying Washington\u2019s trust? Only if Washington were an idiot.<\/p>\n<p>Are we?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Quite the thorny little conundrum, I&#8217;d say. Sadly, we have our answer already, and for all too many of us, that answer can only be: <em>Yes. Yes, we are<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An awkward little Christmas.
