He continues riffing darkly on the idea that lockdown stress is supposedly turning ordinary people into abusers overnight, joking about men threatening Gavin Newsom over restrictions.
- Tim says he could be dead in a week from the virus but people shouldn't use that to justify endless lockdowns and public closures.
- The mental health effects of closing public spaces and preventing people from exercising and being in nature for years are severe and unaccounted for.
- Domestic violence stations report rising abuse cases, but Tim questions whether lockdown actually causes men to suddenly become abusers who weren't before.
- Tim jokes that guys are threatening violence against their families as a negotiating tactic to lift COVID restrictions, as if they'd never hurt anyone without the lockdown incentive.
- The implication that domestic violence is a situational choice rather than a fixed personality trait disturbs Tim — suggesting lockdowns can turn ordinary men into abusers.
