I sort people into four categories here. There are those who fought it, those who dodged it, those who were tricked, and those responsible. I include in the last group anyone who may not have been in a position to impose mandates on others but whose behavior clearly indicates that they would’ve if they had. Each of these groups deserves different treatment, but I will say that my full trust and confidence will only ever be shown to those in the first group. While I may tolerate those in the middle groups, I will never respect them, regardless of the circumstances surrounding their choices. And I will go to my grave shunning those from the last group and advocating that every one of them be brought to justice.

Nice analysis! I tend to break it 3 ways, the mass hypnotized, those going along but knowing something is wrong, and those who saw through the lie from the start.

And then there are the "perps."

But we do have those who avoided it, but did not fight it, also, as you described, so really 5 all told.

Each must be dealt with differently and while I am very sorry for the coerced, I am not all all for those doing the coercing!!

They are a problem, imo. But the sheep are also a genuine hurdle, no doubt!

And then there are the real perpetrators.

My, my.

So much to do, and so little time!

Remember, Resist, Resist, Resist!!
