Americans, as citizens in nearly all Western countries, are losing individual and personal freedoms to over-reaching governments populated by elected officials and bureaucrats who are more interested in expanding their power than doing what is best for the citizenry longterm. Mostly this inclination comes from the Left or so-called "progressives," but can be heard in the initiatives of the Right as well. This trend toward loss of freedom has been moving most of my lifetime, dating to the 1960s, but in the new millennia and especially with the experience of C-19, growth of government power and loss of individual freedom move to warp speed. This can be stopped, but it's going to take both a spiritual awakening rediscovering the values of the Judeo-Christian faith and a concerted political effort to vote Marxian, big government, anti-freedom officials and career "public servants" out of office.
