That's because both the left and the right so readily trade safety for their liberties. That's a bad trade.
Safety is always temporary. Once the government takes your freedoms/rights, they never give it back.
The government welds your door shut and then outlaws starting a business and living in McMansions, cars, skyscrapers, and tiny homes.
The governments bans body odor and then closes stores and bans delivery services.
The state closes bathrooms and then outlaws public urination.
The government closes the border and then arrests tourists for overstaying their visas.
The last one seems like an ok trade off.
