"Safety" has become the highest virtue in USA. Pols + cops justify infringements of rights by saying their job is to "keep Americans safe"
News stories about "keeping you safe" or "how to stay safe when ___"
"Stay safe" is now a standard departing salutation like "good bye" or "see ya".
It's a cult(ure) obsessed with safety.
Meanwhile, Dems push fears of domestic terrorism/insurrection/rebellion Reps push fears of "invasions" across border.
What could this possibly be building toward?
