Joe Biden, the Democrats’ hope for president this November, just said in an interview on KDKA in Pittsburgh that one of his first White House acts would be to make the wearing of face masks mandatory for every man, woman and child in America.
Required. Not recommended, but required. Let freedom reign? Not exactly.
It’s the new normal: Government ordering citizens this way and that way; government deeming what’s best for individuals, and dictating accordingly. “I would do everything possible to make it required that people had to wear masks in public,” Biden said.
What once was law and order and limited government has turned into governance by personal dictate. And the dictates don’t even have to come from those who are duly elected.
America’s got the thugs in the streets insisting on the removal of statues, memorials and monuments deemed offensive; the anarchists in Seattle successfully staging a takeover of public streets, patrolling away police with their own armed guards; a Black Lives Matter leader taking to national television and coyly telling a shocked audience that he “could be speaking … figuratively,” or he “could be speaking literally” — but that “if this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it,” as Fox News wrote.
What does that mean?
“It’s a matter of interpretation,” he said, adding later that he neither “condone[s] nor … condemn[s] rioting.”
The confusion is helpful to revolutionaries. Social reformers with designs for dramatic overhaul depend on chaos.
