I simply can't believe the divide in this city/state/country.
It was extremely embarrassing. Carol and Robert Hefner should be ashamed of themselves for being unabashed liars. She claimed that her husband has cancer, didn't take the vaccine, instead took Ivermectin, and now has a stronger immune system than anyone she's seen. She's lost her mind--and she perfectly encapsulates the majority of the people that were there.

There was another person who threatened the mayor and was clearly hoping the police officer tried to expel him so he could fight.

The City-County public health expert, who has over 30 years of experience in public health, got shouted down and heckled when he dared to speak the truth that the vaccine is highly effective.

On the YouTube live stream, there were dozens of commenters calling Mayor Holt, James Cooper, Nikki Nice, and Jo Beth Hammon traitors and saying they need to be removed.

It's not just that we are a divided people. We are. It's also that a substantial portion of our people live in a fantasy world, have rejected the basic principles of a polite society, and are therefore willing to become violent in order to protect their fantasy, which is contributing to the deterioration of our culture and civil society.
