Isolated people are easier to control.
Make it illegal for people to congregate, especially in churches.
Break the trust between people by making them wear masks so they can’t tell what anyone is thinking and feeling.
Make people afraid to speak freely about politics or race or gender or history for fear of losing their livelihood and being ostracized.
Steal the election in broad daylight while chanting, “No evidence.”
This is how tyranny is established.
