I mean if it's gonna happen (and basically the entire American right from Trump on down is loudly and publicly begging for it) it's gonna be in the next three weeks, not three years
We already have mini-convoys or what have you fairly regularly where these guys meet up in a Wal-Mart parking lot and then tool around cities being annoying and/or violent until the cops show up....to protect them. It happens all the time!
"And then the question becomes, who is actually the mayor" it's the cops. The cops do whatever they want with no meaningful civilian oversight or control. We know this already. The actual question if anything is if we can do anything about it.
Actually what you do is bust up the cop unions. Then you have carte blanche to implement all the reforms and discipline you want. The problem is the national labor groups are misguidedly sheltering the cops

Take back your city and watch crime plummet with one WEIRD trick [crush your local police union and start over from scratch]! Corrupt cops HATE it!

Are these people angry that....*other* people aren't dining out? Like they go out to a restaurant and get mad that it's not crowded?
So basically this whole debate has boiled down to "we need to get back to normal" followed by people pointing out that things are basically normal, to which the original folks say "yeah but not enough people in blue cities are doing what I want them to, it feels weirrrrd."

Cool.
Like if I as a bartender in a deep-blue city can put up with making 60-70% less *actual money* for a few months surely these clowns can shut up about seeing some empty tables. Jackasses.

It's bizarre that the "I'm pro-vax, but anti-mandate" position has any cultural/intellectual purchase whatsoever. It makes no sense through any lens of analysis and it's screamingly obviously in bad faith.
Like even if you take these people at their word you can plainly see that they're just using it to reframe the debate from a concrete one about people getting sick and dying to an abstract one about "my freedoms" to score political points, at the cost of real lives. Monstrous.
From a practical standpoint, the "pro-vax, anti-mandate" stance makes no sense because you're directly endorsing the idea that hospitals should crash during a pandemic even when we have the means to avoid that.

A guest at the bar tonight asked, "so how long have you been in this lockdown" and confused I was like "what lockdown?" to which she responded "you know, the masks [gesturing that I was wearing a mask]" and something really clicked for me in that moment
I've been confused by the rightwing rhetoric about "NO MORE LOCKDOWNS" and misinterpreting it as cynical demagoguery, since we never had a real "lockdown" and the most stringent pandemic measures ended over a year ago. But they're just coding every health measure as "lockdown"
It seems obvious now in retrospect but it really is just purely binary to these people; taking the barest minimum precautions (e.g. an "indoor mask mandate" where guests can remove their masks to eat and drink") is tantamount to unfettered totalitarianism in their minds

A brief thread on this, using my own place of employment (a restaurant in a fancy hotel, part of a multi-billion dollar hotel group) as a case study.

Currently we're only open 4 days a week because we're short-staffed. Why are we short-staffed? Well...
Company policy is that we have to contact all former employees from March 2020, in order of seniority. Aw how nice.

Except our former GM now lives in TN, our former bar manager lives in Mexico, our cocktail server lives in MI, our former line cooks are 1) in Guatemala and 2)dead
But the policy is good, in theory. In practice, they've chosen to implement it by...forcing the few people who do still live here after a year and a half to *reapply for their jobs and pass a full background check.* Which takes weeks, during which time many people find a new job!

It's not an exaggeration in the slightest to say that Trump tweeting *the Monday after the election* that vaccine approval was sabotaged as part of a partisan hit-job established a narrative that would lead to millions of Americans refusing the vaccines
Literally everything Trump did during the pandemic couldn't have been more perfectly calculated to destroy public trust in health authorities and experts, by either dismissing their informed recommendations or relegating them to the realm of conspiracy
Important also to remember the fluidity and irrationality fundamental to the Trumpist view of vaccines- when Fauci was cautiously optimistic, he was "holding back progress" to damage Trump; when he embraced the vaccines he was "telling people what to do with their bodies"

This the funniest shit I've read all week. Beyond parody. Beyond Parody Infinite Edition.
"Sinema's core beliefs haven't changed"

"Oh word, so she's still anti-war"

"Oh well i mean she's a big shill for Raytheon and ME arms deals now, but other than that..."

Man GTFOH, jump in the ocean
Runner up for funniest thing is this insanely tortured post-hoc rationale for "the curtsy."

"It's puzzling why she didn't just explain it" no it's not. Her staff didn't explain it because this explanation is transparently cockamamie bullshit invented days later.
