Remember, the ACLU not only ignored, but cheered on, the endless government civil liberty violations during Covid—lockdowns, censorship, church closings, protest stifling, and so on—it didn’t matter. However, they still find some battles to take on…
Every time I hear discussion of even the slightest proposed restriction on abortion, liberals change into their Handmaiden’s Tale garb and mourn the dystopian world they now live in. Regardless how I or anyone else feels on the abortion issue, I have ZERO patience to listen to whining about rights from the same people who sat passively the past 3 years as every Amendment in the Bill of Rights has been ruthlessly trampled on. In fact, most liberals not only ignored this, they actively cheered it on! The ACLU, an organization whose sole purpose is supposed to be to protect civil rights, openly advocated for EVERY SINGLE COVID RESTRICTION, including the censorship! The Left finally found a right they care about?…one which happens to not specifically be mentioned a single time in the Constitution? If you explain the Covid hypocrisy to the Left, they say, “That’s different because other lives were involved!” I won’t get into the ineffectiveness of the masks, vaccines, lockdowns, etc.; nor will I get into all the negative side effects of censorship, constant masking, forced medical procedures, and so on. My response to the “other lives” argument is, “Really, you can’t put 2-and-2 together and see how another life might at least play a small factor in abortion policy? 🙄
The Coronavirus plandemic has led to some of the biggest civil rights violations in America of the past 60 years–people not allowed to go out of their houses, gather in groups, go to church, host parties, protest government actions, attend sports, and so on. So you would THINK this, more than anything, would be a call to action of the biggest and richest civil rights organization in the country, one with “civil rights” in their name–the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)! However, can you remember hearing a peep from them at all in 2020? In fact, if you go to their website, try to find ONE article that takes on the lockdowns, mask mandates, or any other government-imposed deprivation of your rights. That is, other than a few scattered articles defending BLM/Antifa “protesters” and prisoners’ covid rights. There should be no delusion–the ACLU has nothing to do with civil rights. It’s simply another anti-American arm of the Democrat party and billionaire agitators like George Soros.
