[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's taught me how many people are blindly stupid. Whether Democrats grossly overexaggerating the risks of COVID and virtue signaling and making their three year old kids wear masks and driving around alone in cars with the mask on or walking through empty streets with the mask on, to Republicans refusing to get vaccinated out of spite .

I will never forget how people screamed that Trump was a fascist were the same people who wanted the government to force through a massive shutdown and suspend constitutional liberties and deliberately inform the press what news not to release and what spin to take, which is the essence of fascism, yet it was Trump who refused to do any of it. Weird. I'll never forget all the public health authorities telling everyone to stay home to stop the spread, except for BLM protests as that was somehow different and exempt.

I hate how COVID was politicized and I hate how it affected everything, including the science community and I now no longer believe anything told to me but ask what their motivation is first.

I'm actually the opposite. I feel like Covid-19 woke up a lot of people that were formerly complacent about our national leadership and who was running this country.

Quite frankly I was appalled at some of the activities, kids in cages for instance, that happened between 2017 and 2019. But it wasn't until 2020 that it seemed like a collective of middle-of-the-road moderates and yes liberals realized that no 'one candidate is not the exact same as the other'. These weren't extreme conservatives for the most part either. These were my neighbors who thought 'well nothing is really going to be bad for the middle-class majority, so who cares?'

I am trying to be a-political as possible here but I remember people saying to my face in 2016 'it doesn't matter who we vote for' as if neither was much worse off than the other to vote for.

In fact this is a perfect example -

But when it came down to it and true leadership mattered they realized that for 600,000+ Americans gone in 12 months - leadership absolutely mattered. Too late.
