What’s the difference between #TakeTheKnee and #OperationGridlock?
People opposed to both movements could argue they’re unpatriotic. Anti-Take the Knee-ers will say it’s unconstitutional. Perhaps anti-Gridlockers might argue that too.
Yet, ironically, the Operation Gridlock folks, now find themselves protesting for the rights they feel have been trampled on. Much the same way #BlackLivesMatter folks did.
What makes the OGers any different than Colin Kaepernick or those who supported him?
That’s the irony most of these folks don’t understand.
Nothing.
They feel they’ve suffered an injustice. They’re speaking out about it. They’re exercising their constitutional right to self-expression, same as Kaepernick and all the Black Lives Matter protesters
Welcome to the club, OGers.
Even funnier. Suddenly they’re all Pro Choice –my body, my choice. At least when it comes to wearing masks. Or not wearing them, as many of them refuse to do.
Which is fine. I truly am Pro Choice. Who I am to tell you what to do with your body? Not my body, not my business.
All health officials are asking everyone to do is to wear a mask in an effort to minimize the spread of a very contagious virus for the sake of all.
Nope. That’s too socialistic for them.
Imagine someone telling them they had to push a 9 lb baby out of their vaginas against their wills. Which, as Pro Lifers, they often advocate women do.
Hypocrisy as it’s finest.
However, here’s why I love these protesters. Suddenly they’re decrying exactly what Pro Choicers have been arguing all along.
Rock on, Right Wingers! Don’t tread on my uterus!
Now you get it! Women can make their own decisions about their bodies. Glad to have you on the freedom-for-personal-decisions-about-our-own-healthcare side!
Who knew all it would take is asking you to wear a mask to get that point across?
Well, it was worth it. (And lucky for you a lot less painful than pushing a 9 lb baby out of your vagina.)
Because what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. You get the freedom to endanger your lives and possibly abort them and the ones of those you love by disregarding medical advice, and women who don’t want to be moms are free to make that choice too now.
So good job, coronoavirus. Way to settle the abortion debate once and for all!
