The Brandon administration was not expecting this backlash. They thought everyone would just throw their hands up and easily comply 🤣

Good I'm glad Abbott Banned a SUGGESTION because w mandate is NOT a LAW and it really means a STRONG SUGGESTION so why are some people complying to a STRONG SUGGESTION, logical thinking eliminates emotional nonsense

[racqueldcrown]

And this is why I am not a Democrat!!!

The protected need to be protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to use the protection that didn't protect the protected.

Mandate do not supercede law as far as federal vs state law goes. Federal law can supercede state as long as it is a law that is voted on. Mandates are not voted on and Biden pushing an executive order on the private sector like that is an abuse of power and in constitutional. Mandates are not laws

imagine if you will, you have a 99.97% chance you won't crap your pants, but you're told to wear a diaper just in case. Now imagine you're forced to wear the same diaper to prevent your already diaper wearing neighbor from crapping their own pants.

Side note - These diapers were manufactured faster than any diapers in history in a way that is very unusual and they're not technically diapers. AND they don't actually prevent you from soiling your clothes...
