It is when it comes to the guns issue. You (maybe not *you* personally, but european right-wingers in general) love to gloat how despite all our guns we still haven't done anything but the fact of the matter is that it is CONSIDERABLY worse-off currently for the places that *did* give up their guns; the UK, australia, and canada to name a few.
That greatly depended on where you were. Life in the midwest was hardly changed, and the only times it did was as a result of entities doing things *of their own accord*. The government *tried* to shut down churches, but any that didn't want to go along with it sued and were immediately granted injunctions. The businesses *tried* to mandate masks but I went in all the time without them and was never tossed out. People got fired for refusing the clotshot; but sued and eventually won. Only the healthcare companies were able to pull off firing people for not taking it; and half of them had to walk it back. Quite unlike places like canada, where life was virtually halted, and pastors were being arrested for holding church services, no? The reason why things didn't get that bad is because the government *feared*, at least in some small regard, the *potential* we have to rectify things we don't like; whether validly or invalidly.
the govt did not fear getting shot bro, in republican/midwest etc you're going to have more republicans in different positions of power and they will push for republican povs/push against democrat povs.
by what metric do you mean they are worse?
