Dozens arrested after hundreds storm California's Capitol to protest stay-at-home orders

What’s bothering me is everyone saying that these folks actually care about their small businesses being closed. If that’s the case, why aren’t we seeing signs about small businesses, demanding loans and benefits for their workers? Why are they dressed in Don’t Tread on Me instead of business suits, aprons, and baker’s hats? Why are they on the beach in a crowd instead of applying for stimulus loans?

I know business owners who are very affected by all of this. They’re out there being creative and trying to get through this. It didn’t suddenly make them buy a gun and an American flag.

These people don’t own businesses, or if they do, that’s not their main concern. They are gun nuts who have been waiting for anything that resembles curtailing of their freedom in any way so they can perform their religion and feel powerful.

This is all about their own identity and nothing else. They’re absolutely caught in self centered delusion. If you’re reading this and getting mad, stop for a minute and think about why you agree with them and not with me. Do you also feel entitled to do exactly what you want with no reference to the other people in our society?
