Every day we see another video of an oppressed middle-aged woman unable to go to the grocery store without having to put on a mask. And as these injustices pile up, we’re seeing armed protesters swarm state capitol buildings and patriotic cable news personalities bemoan the arrival of fascism on America’s shores.
It’s only a matter of time until someone lodges a lawsuit against the local Quik-E-Mart for requiring patrons to wear masks. Once the governor gives the all-clear, data be damned, anyone trying to make you wear a mask… well, that’s got to be a Don’t Tread On Me moment, right?
The Taylor Defense Firm has a new ad, reaching out to anyone out there who might be contemplating such a lawsuit:
“Dimwitted disease vector.” Fantastic.
Unfortunately, we live in a world of elected judges and I’m 90 percent sure someone is going to drive a mom-and-pop out of business with one of these frivolous suits, bankrupting them on legal fees before they can ever see vindication at the appellate stage.
