They weren’t even pretending that the continuation of lockdowns, mask mandates, and eventually the draconian vaccine rules were about public health. Sure, they’d pay lip service to it but it was obvious to all with eyes to see (conservatives) that it was a diabolical power grab.
The easiest way to figure that out was just looking at the number of Democratic politicians who were caught violating their oh-so-important “public health” rules. It was always the governors and mayors who were instituted the strictest policies who were caught giving the finger to their constituents–like Gavn Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, Satan (I think that’s the D.C. mayor’s name) and the like.
The most egregious offense committed by the Democrats under the guise of COVID safety was keeping schools shut far past when it was safe to open them. They did so because that’s what the teachers’ unions wanted and Democrats are their well-trained lapdogs. I know that there are a lot of good teachers in America. Unfortunately, none of them are teachers’ union officials, all of whom are lazy cancers who are killing public education from within.
Do I want to vote FOR COVID lockdowns? Nah, I don’t think so. Not in this lifetime.
Pathological prevarication is all the democrats have.
people can be forgiven for a lot of what went on in the early days of COVID.
Very few people should be forgiven for what went on, if any. Whether they were a politician (tyrant), a bureaucrat (self-serving and/or ignorant tool of the tyrants), a "journalist" (self-aggrandizing, lying, stupid tool of the tyrants), or simply someone supporting the lockdowns/business closures, the useless masks, pointless social distancing, and/or forced/coerced "vaccinations" (fearful, selfish, servile, ignorant, stupid tools of the tyrants, a.k.a. useful idiots), there are very few who deserve ANY forgiveness.
There was NEVER ANY reason to close the schools, or businesses, or anything else.
EVERYTHING about "COVID" was, and still is, a LIE.
‘Places like Sweden (which the left typically cites in every other domestic political argument other than, curiously, the COVID one) never instituted school closures.’
cue our resident covidiot who couldn’t wait to breathlessly report any negative results from Sweden’s covid policies to us on this forum...
