Why do people give up freedom for the government control of lives?

Question

You see it in New york and California soon to a state near you Florida

Answer 1

The ruling elite train them to gradually give up all rights. Sometimes, under certain conditions, they are desperate and rally around a strong man on a white horse.

Answer 2

Maybe they fear freedom.  True freedom carries a lot of responsibility, and  it comes with no guarantees for the future. It would be much easier if the government provided everything for us, but who ever said that living free would be easy?

Answer 3

The problem is that some select to be brainwashed. For example, 80% of conservatives vote for republicans. To be a relejous person does NOT mean to vote for republican wars such as that crab in Iraq. Christianity promores peace and republican party promotes wars.
