[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The poster above has it.

Things like pandemics, masks and vaccines were never political - until Trump and his whackadoodle MAGAism made them political.[/quote]

Except there are many of us who don’t fall into the shape of your MAGA caricature. We dutifully wore our masks when mandated, and got our vaccines when they became available. You need to give up the Trump card, seriously. [/quote]

They won't, though.  They're hanging on to their Trump card (nice one, btw) and MAGA caricatures for dear life because it's all they have in the face of Biden's failures and Covid becoming endemic.  Life will go back to normal, but they simply can't bear the thought of losing whatever power they think they have over the rest of us.[/quote]

Youngkin and other Republicans are attacking masks and public safety measures for no genuinely good reason other than politics.  Fine if you don't want to hear it tied to MAGA or Trumpism but what you cannot do is claim public health measures haven't been assaulted, undermined and politicized by the right wing in completely new and unprecedented ways.[/quote]
And for people on the left, it has nothing to do with science or public health, either. For you, a mask is just a symbol to your fellow travelers about how virtuous you are. It’s no different than a MAGA hat.[/quote]

I find this all fascinating. Dems don’t actually think that we should  “mask forever” and masks will definitely come off again soon… surge is waning, immunity is high. Republicans here desperately want to be able to claim the return to normal as a win, so they’re creating this narrative that Dems are standing in the way.  The reality is, things will go back to normal, just because that’s what happens with pandemics.  I wear a mask whenever I see a sign asking me to.  There are no local mandates but I respect the establishments I enter enough to comply.  Because I’m not anti-social like you PP.  yes we are all fellow travelers. It’s not virtue signaling to be patient, knowing that things will be normal again really soon. Remember how normal it was last summer? We’re almost there again.[/quote]
