I disagree a bit.
I live in michigan. It was a shit show during the scam-Demic. An absolute tyranny.
Luckily we live 20 mins from Indiana. I was down there all the time - they were much much freer than us and other left ran states, and I drove to Florida 5X’s (because I would not wear their slave mask to fly). Yes both sides have their issues. But there is no doubt one is much better than the other. Yes - bitcoin. But we can fight on more than one front.
I wish you well.
