[quote:momma coop:MV80NTkyNDE4XzgzNjIxNTA4X0JDODNCQzM5] To me, the lockdowns are unAmerican. I, like most Americans, dont like to be told what to do. Other than that, it wasnt that bad. I liked not having to deal with my obnoxious, holier than thow brother at the family gatherings every one of us hates going to. I also liked that none of my really large family would pop in unnanounced. It was like a vacation from all the constant criticism that goes along with being part of a big Irish family. (You know what they say, " The Irish are a fair people, they never have anything nice to say about each other.) That being said, that was the only way my life changed. I am over 50 and I have health issues. I dont work anymore and I rarely leave the house. My husband works but is considered essential and the only part of his life that changed was he ended up with overtime even though he went in an hour later and left an hour earlier. In spite of that, we both disagree with lockdowns and masks etc. My obnoxious brother hated the lockdowns because he cant stand being around his wife and kids. It drove him nuts. But he fully supports more strict lockdowns for everyone (except him) and mandatory masks and fully believes everyone should get paid to stay home and the government should also deliver free groceries to every household that makes less than two hundred thousand. (He makes slightly less than that) Why does he want it? Because he is a cheapskate and an elitist. The elites say its what's best, so he goes along. I am sure there are a lot people out there that are just like him. [/quote]

I’m trying to figure it out.
I’ve seen it first-hand with several family members on family text. They seem downright
excited
with the new restrictions placed locally, as mild as they are compared to other places. That’s the only way I can describe it accurately - there’s real energy and excitement about the new restrictions, like they can now become more fully part of the pandemic movie they’re playing in their heads.
To be clear, this isn’t about my family members. I’m using them as first-hand experience with how the minds work of those who are compliant. It’s disturbing. It’s like street theatre and they can’t wait to participate.
I’m interested in hearing what others’ experiences are with those all on-board with restrictions, and what you think is their motivation behind it. So many people are acting in ways I never thought the majority in society would act like.
