We’ve all heard the refrains from people demanding that Life Must Return to Normal:
- “The Omicron variant isn’t that harmful”
- “Social distancing is causing mental illness”
- “Masks are unfair to children”
- “If they’re not vaxed by now, they never will”
Whatever their rationale may be, these people have decided that the risk posed by COVID-19 is outweighed by the damages caused by masks, social distancing, & other mandated shutdowns.
This isn’t even about vaccine skepticism. A lot of these arguments are coming from people who have had the vax. But they believe, rightly or wrongly, that the current variants of COVID-19 are no longer the threat the virus was when it was first discovered two years ago.
TRUMP: Mike Pence could have overturned the election, but unfortunately he didn’t
D: He just said it out loud
R: Said what?
D: That he wanted to overturn the election
R: So? Why wouldn’t he?
D: BECAUSE IT FLIES IN THE FACE OF OUR ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM
R: Triggered! 😂
D: Maybe the significance of this is lost on you, but Trump just pivoted from saying that he really won the election to flat-out saying that he wanted Pence to use his power to overturn it even if he didn’t
R: You’re right; that distinction makes absolutely no difference to me
D: How can the GOP even pretend to respect democracy anymore
R: We’re not a democracy; we’re a republic
D: But when you reject the EC, you’re not respecting the republic either
R: Well, by “republic” I mean “Trump does whatever he can get away with & the liberals cry about it”
