He points out how the way the government is acting is exactly what he experiences in the Soviet Union. From my experience, I recall the stories of how a certain group were blamed for all of the wrongs of a society. Some of us need to take a deep breath and really do some soul searching.
Yes, I hear EXACTLY what I am saying, even if you do not understand it. As a nation, as any nation, we cannot make sweeping policy based on the special needs of a very small number of people. That doesn't mean we don't support their rights and it doesn't mean we discriminate against them. It means we do not require 330 million people to wear a mask to theoretically "protect" a few hundred thousand. We do however help those few hundred thousand to protect themselves in other ways. So you may now go ahead and take that "deep breath and search your soul"
