With the bug precautions, I haven't gotten around much lately. Still, the family that has been doing my shopping and dropping off my mail has been reporting folks going a little crazy. Locals have been thinking it is fun to drop a lit match or other fire source into a mailbox. They figure if Trump can mess with the mail, why shouldn't they. They are also ignoring the one way signs in grocery stores, running around unmasked, holding gatherings as they feel like. This exaggerates incidents like in Texas where the Biden caravan was harassed by local red fanatics, and the attempt to kidnap the governor of Michigan.
This sort of thing is related to the spirals of rhetoric and violence. The red culture is coming to have a strong element of negligent homaside, harassment and violence. It should be noted.
I have been predicting the old values will go away. They certainly take a big hit in a given crisis. Does anyone want this to become a regular feature of the culture? If the bulk of the country is voting to fight the bug, extend decency and reduce systematic racism, must something be done with the red renegades and just plain vandals?

That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
