[quote=Anonymous]It seems that the party that didn't like to be told what to do by "woke" libs is now the party that is telling us what to wear, what to eat, how to behave. 
Below are some examples. I'm sure this isn't the last of this kind of talk we will hear form this administration of scolds. Before MAGA comes at me saying these government officials are right, I don't disagree but I also know that Americans, in general, do not like being told what to do.

*This trend started to get my attention when Sean Duffy, as part of his new "Golden Age of Travel" civility campaign, urged airline passengers to "dress with some respect" by wearing "a pair of jeans and a decent shirt" instead of pajamas or slippers. He claimed that dressing better "encourages us to behave better" and reduces in-flight disruptions.

* In the same campaign, advised travelers to "say please and thank you," "help older flyers with their bags," and "control your children" during air travel to foster a more courteous atmosphere and scolded passengers for "put[ting] your feet on the chair ahead of you" or "play[ing] your movie without your headphones on."

*Now Duffy is suggesting that passengers work out at the airport before boarding a flight. He proposed federal grants to install workout areas in airports, encouraging passengers to do pull-ups or step-ups to "get some blood flow" before boarding flights as part of his "civility" campaign.

*Dr. Oz just sent emails to federal employees with holiday diet tips, including "You don’t have to try every cookie on the holiday table," and weekly advice on "Crushing Cubicle Cravings" to discourage office snacking and promote healthier eating habits.

*Recently RFK promoted breastfeeding as superior to infant formula, saying "all the ingenuity of corporate America... has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition... to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast." [I happen to agree with this but I keep that opinion to myself because the topic is highly divisive among American women and is better left alone by high ranking government officials.]

*Pete Hegseth publicly fat-shamed military leaders and top generals for their weight at that bizarre meeting in Quantico, telling them to adopt stricter fitness regimens and healthier diets to "live lean, mean, and super patriotic" in the armed forces. [Being fit is now being "super patriotic"?]
