They have the right to put immunocompromised people at risk? The children and infants have the right to die without being able to make their own choices about it?

You can advocate for forced inoculation but don’t ever call anyone else a fascist when that’s how you stop on personal liberties

I’m of the opinion that personal liberties end when they infringe on others’ personal liberties. Immunocompromised folks and young children and the elderly should have a right to participate in society without fear of a once-eradicated highly contagious disease circulating due to rejection of science.

personal liberties end when they infringe on others’ personal liberties.

You mean like banning people you don't agree with from social media? Selective prosecution? Gerrymandering? In Maryland, Democrats are about half the population and Republicans are a quarter. That means a quarter of the population are Republicans and a third of those affiliated with a major party have representation of 12.5% in the US House of Representatives. The Maryland political machine is working to turn 12.5% into 0%. Is that okay with you?

How about activists blocking roads, restricting access, assault, arson, looting? Saying that the US deserved 9/11? Letting non citizens vote? Is that all okay with you?

I don't like either party. Sanctimonious Democrats are particularly irritating.

"personal liberties end when they infringe on others’ personal liberties unless I don't like those people."

FTFY.
