I'm not so sure about that. Went to Costco last week in a 'burb of Seattle. Thirty-something Asian checker, 50-something white female bagger wearing a plaid shirt. She tells him she got to eat out in a restaurant for the first time since last March over the weekend. He's says cool. I say "Didn't take them long after the election." The lady says "They won't let restaurants have TV's on, though." I say, "Why?" Asian guy says "It's stupid." Lady says "I don't know. It's a plan-demic," and eyes me to see what I say. Asian guy says "It's social engineering."
"Exaaaactly" I say, with a big grin.
The three of us look at each other, grinning. They both heartily wish me a good day. I go on my way, happily surprised to see this in such an unexpected "normie" place, since Costco required masks from the very beginning, months before the faggot Governor mandated it.
Most Americans see exactly what is going on. They just can't do anything about it.
