This is really a remarkable admission from MSNBC reporter Alex Seitz-Wald, who gave a grim assessment of the Democrats’ challenge in lifting COVID-19 restrictions across the board and returning the United States to some sense of “normal.”
A recent poll showed a whopping 65% of Democrats who believe it “too early to rescind mask mandates” as opposed to just 20% of Republicans who think that way.
How does that mesh with Democratic governors who are in the process of lifting mask mandates in their states?
Fox News:
“And you see this kind of emerging message from some Democrats basically saying, ‘Mission accomplished,’ that, you know, the policies of the Biden White House, the Democratic Congress, Democratic governors, they worked, our sacrifices were worth it, we got vaccinated, it’s now time to enjoy those benefits. But that message hasn’t really been that loud because, as you pointed out, the base is divided,” the NBC reporter said. “A large number of Democrats are not there yet. So I think there is going to be a challenge for a lot of Democratic leaders to get their base comfortable with the idea of going back to normal.”
It’s more than just getting “their base comfortable” with loosening restrictions. It’s that the COVID rules have become part of the liberal’s identity.
“I mean, for the past two years, so much of the identity of what is meant to be a Democrat, to follow the science, was tied up in masking and following these rules and regulations. And if you didn’t do that, you were you know, a bad person, you were Ron DeSantis, you’re a denier. So, now these Democratic leaders need to get their base comfortable with unwinding all of that,” Seltz-Wald added.

The pandemic is over, the mask mandates can end.
The dem base never was normal
These are the same people that when they are SURE no one is looking flaunt ALL the rules. You can bet the petty tyrants only were masks as a social statement.
That is the problem with dealing with such dishonest people, there is no reasoning, to them. They will justify doing whatever they want whenever they want. They are shameless.
Well, c’mon. Liberal (aka commie trash) think about it! It was the totally worthless wearing of a mask that showed you that you could trample on others, especially those that thought differently (aka “wrongthink” to CTrash). Why give that up?
Karen’s unite forevar! We have only to stay the course thru Nov and we can kill them all.
Yup
Reject the premise
In fact, I'd suggest it might be a good idea for all of them to supplement their stupid mask with plastic bags tied tight over their heads.
MSNBC has its finger on the pulse of the Party that it works for.
They even wear them outside when walking the dog (usually a small poodle type).
There is no such thing as normal when describing democrats.
That’s because it’s much easier for them to walk into Walmart with their face mask on, grab a cart, load up 2 TVs and a sound bar and then walk on out the door past the registers and have the audacity to tell the employee there to check their receipt to “help load this all up.” Democrats.. it’s what they do, and the masks deter easy identification and a bothersome trip to the police station where they’ll have to waste an hour before they’re released without any bail.... it’s what Democrats do.
Reminds me of hearing of that liberal moan the stated she continued to wear her mack even when not mandated because
“She did not want anyone thinking she was a Republican”
Take a bunch of neurotic liberals, lock them in their homes, and terrorize them with dark lies for two years...what do you expect? These people were defective to begin with.
and that is the beauty of the USA. If you want to live only in your home, OK. If you only want to wear a mask everywhere you go, OK. I you do not want to work in a crowded workplace, OK. Just do not force other to follow your lifestyle.
To be fair, there are millions of gullible idiots who actually believe the lies they are told by the government and the press. Some people actually believe the crap that CNN and MSNBC push, and there are 10 to 100 more idiots for every one that watches the press baloney.
The propaganda and suppression of dissent will tend to be successful. Country is very divided on this issue, and always will be.
You want to wear a mask? Fine. Demand I wear one? Not fine.
Anger and fear. All the commie mind can focus on.
I saw someone riding a bicycle, in the evening, no lights and no helmet on a busy road but he had on a mask.
THE DEMOCRATS AREN’T NORMAL PEOPLE! EVIL SICKOS!
Lift the mandates.
They are free to wear masks if they want to. For the rest of their lives if they want.
Just don’t demand I do it.
