I've cohabited with someone with a major immunity problem and had to take normal, established-before-covid guidelines for making sure I don't bring back a virus that would kill someone I care about. I wore a mask for months going out, washed my hands, avoided crowds. Never got sick.
So that was before covid. Imagine how it feels seeing the whole world be advised to do the same thing, and absolutely losing their collective mind about it, while millions of people died.
It will never make sense. I mean, logically I have studied psychology and have come to understand the mechanics of people's irrational, emotional reactions. What doesn't make sense is how we elected a clown that led our nation in the direction of chaos and followed his example.
Like for real what is the point of it it's like banning flip-flops that are blue it doesn't affect anyone of something person wearing the mask. If I'm not making you have to wear a mask when you go outside then shut up about it man. If I feel safer wearing when I feel safer wearing one it's not the end of the world I feel safe wearing a hat sometimes.... We're not going to ban all hats it's my choice to wear the damn hat... If I want to wear a mask I can wear a mask.
I fully expect that when they've run out of culture war ideas, current Republicans will start demanding that cars of a certain color can only park in certain spots or drive in certain lanes.
I find they never do. We all just rotate things in and out every few years
Yeah, the point of their politics is to start the sheep stampeding from one fear to the next, ignoring their own needs while hurting everyone around them.
I often self reflect and see just as much bullshit from my own house. The point of their politics is independence. Driven by the sense of the frontiersman in their chuck wagon. The mentality that only they can take care of them selves and government is there to take away rather than help. The left is more of a garrison mentality where everybody's actions affects each other and if any step out of line they must be thrown out beyond the walls because without working together we don't survive the winter. Especially with assholes trying to take all rations a provisions for themselves.
They will find a way to associate one or two specific colors with either the queer community or antifa (red and black anyone) - and that will be how it starts.
I hope our history books in the future really lean hard into how stupid the population was this century.
Haha, just kidding, I know there likely won't be any history books or people. lol.
Well you have to be able to read for the books to be worth a damn
Or how it's a coin flip if he gets a second chance.....
