Thanks for giving attention to this.
I've been out of the weeds, and seeing all these headlines about the Right using the same tactics as the Left made me disillusioned. Titles such as "Governor forces schools to open" or "Governor bans mask mandates in stores", if taken at face values, just create problems down the line.
You need to give people the ability to make right or wrong decisions, so that they suffer alone and don't drag others down with them. Being correct is no excuse to be authoritarian.
