Rights are more important than lives. The United States has spent the lives hundreds of thousands of soldiers in defense of those rights. We should no more surrender those rights to fear and alarmism than we would surrender them to a foreign invader.

I agree.

But we aren't just surrendering our rights to fear and alarmism.

We are surrendering our rights to authoritarians (and they are bi-partisan, by the way).

You'll get no argument from me. Both parties would happily burn the Constitution if they had a chance to scorch the other one with the flames.
