The alphabet people will look back on these times as the golden age for them and wonder what happened.
What happened is when they won the culture war (by gaining control of the levers of power) they did not know when to quit.
They kept moving the goal post until people realize there was never enough, they always wanted more and that more included our children.
Only a few of many things that grow more and more unlikely in retrospect:
• The country spontaneously rioted because a couple of black criminals perished in altercations with police. News like that was formerly pretty much confined to the city where the incident occurred, but the media, as if in lockstep, made it global. In what seemed like minutes. It's quite obvious now that some shadowy planners had the news blitz all ready to go, once they found the right incident, the right victim, the right cop.
• The first photos and videos out of Wuhan showed crews in full hazmat suits assisting people who had fallen in the streets, reportedly overcome by "Covid." Yeah. Sure. That happened.
• Officials constantly created loopholes in mask regulations for themselves, and, looking back, never really seemed all that frightened of the dreaded "pandemic."
• Guidelines were outlined for the fine art of hand-washing (AT LEAST 30 seconds!), and Americans were instructed to follow arrows on supermarket floors to, apparently, keep from breathing on one another so much.
There are so many other aspects of the past three years that, in retrospect, seem strange or completely outlandish. And as the blinders continue to come off, there will no doubt be more.
