“If the government has the power to force you to wear a mask, they can force you to stick a needle in your arm against your will. They can put a microchip in you. They can even make you take the mark,” he warns, echoing false claims by anti-vaccine extremists, including an apparent reference to a far-right obsession with the ““People who don’t wear a mask will soon be painted as the enemy, just as they did to Jews in Nazi Germany,” he added.
Incidentally, McCormick’s district includes a rural byway sometimes known as Mount Gilead Road, a name fans of Margaret Atwood’smay recognize. In that dystopian future, the United States has been replaced by the totalitarian republic of Gilead, a patriarchal police state led by racist Christian dominionists where women are subjugated and the law is structured around a regime of forced pregnancies and indentured servitude.
“Abortion replaced segregation as the organizing force of the far-right,” State Rep. Mandie Landry, a Democrat from New Orleans and one of the few remaining pro-choice women in the Louisiana legislature, told The Daily Beast.
