Lockdowns were done state by state. We now know which "side" is anti human rights. It is the left and we will never forget.

This is because your comment is bog standard disinformation. It tickles the groupthink narrative about "lockdowns", even though "lockdowns" did not exist in the US beyond a few counties in California.
That's news to this Washington state resident, who couldn't eat indoors at restaurants or send my kids to in-person school through most of 2020.

Business and school closures are not lockdowns. The abuse of terminology for political purposes is at the heart of this inability to communicate (and both political machines are guilty).
If you could legally leave your home (ie you were not subject to a stay at home order with the force of law), you were not "locked down".
This is a bizarre definition completely at odds with the commonly understood meaning of "lockdowns" in the U.S.

You could still get in your car and drive wherever you wanted, right? There just wasn't much to do. People were dying and we didn't know anything about the illness, though, so that wasn't that bad.
It's like claiming you were a prisoner of war because the theme park was closed for maintenance when you wanted to go.
You prove my point as it was done state by state. Us freedom loving Californians who were born and raised here hate the shit of you commies. Get the fuck out of America for your own good and everyone else's. You take away my freedom at your own risk.

You are misattributing multiple qualities to me, seemingly because I replied to your comment with something other than validation. It might to prudent to get some perspective before you become even more detached from reality.
