It's been a little over four years since the period in American history that James Woods has been calling "The Insanity" reared its ugly, totalitarian, unscientific head. Woods has been tweeting reminders so people don't forget exactly how insane things were (and in some ways continue to be):

The strategy from political "leaders" and others in public health was straightforward and obvious: Try and scare the crap out of everybody so they don't question what they're told to do:

To supposedly combat a virus that wouldn't do as much damage to those in better physical condition, in the name of "science" the move was to close gyms, parks and beaches and then leave open liquor stores and tell people to stay home to eat all day.

I’ll never forgive these people for what they did to us.
Their "rules for thee but not for me" philosophy couldn't have been more obvious during that time.
