Okay....now hear me out.......Freedom isn't Free

MAGAts love to spout this when reveling in their praise of the military. The expression is used to describe sacrifice during times of crisis, and to express gratitude to the military for defending freedom.

So why can't they understand that the vaccines and mitigation practices are just a sacrifice during a crisis? That their freedoms are protected when they protect everyone's freedoms?

Is it too late to even try this method of appealing to all the fucking idiots that won't get vaccinated?

We're supposed to be willing to die for THEIR freedoms! Their incredibly misguided, murderous, lopsided "freedoms."

Realistically, I know trying to make them think they're the "heroes" by sacrificing soooo much by getting a fucking shot is useless.

Even a portion of the military isn't willing to get vaccinated, but would be more than happy to *die for our freedoms*.

The window of opportunity has closed, and Covid will now be endemic.

Increasingly, it will mostly be the unvaccinated who suffer the consequences of their failure to heed warnings.

Its stick time now, and they're CHOOSING to die with a plastic pipe stuck down their throats, WHEN THEY DO NOT HAVE TO, minus they're own ignorance.

Freedom means they're FREE to do so.

I will respect their wishes, and may their names end up on bricks over Donald Trumps golf greens.
