      No, it really won’t-- and you know BlueAnon will be right out there all of 2023 and 2024 trying to cudgel everyone who divests from the Democrat party back into the fold.

    As recently as today I saw Redditors bending over backwards to call China’s Zero-Covid policy a failure and to praise the USAs resilience.

        At this point, we pretty much all have been, we’re just too beat down and propagandized to do anything about it. I avoided it for 2.5 years, finally got it a month ago, I don’t know anybody who hasn’t had it, I know some who have had it more than once.

          Haven’t had it yet, hope it stays that way. But I got the vaccine and haven’t been tested, so I might’ve got it once without noticing.

        they’re probably insisting on dropping masking because covid has injured their brain already. other pathogens have mechanisms that make you more amenable to spreading them, e.g. toxoplasmosis. so it’s not that much of a stretch to speculate that covid does the same. and since our presidents all get it… well, you do the math.

      This is a key important point of why one of the PRC’s 5 Don’ts, is to never allow bourgeois political parties, or capitalists to organize themselves as a class politically.

      We’ve seen with COVID how dangerous letting them exist and be in power… putting profit over public health and people’s lives. Over half a million people dead in the US alone.

        I get insults for wearing one, as if…I am violating someone’s right to get my breath all over them???

        Where I am we have had more deaths the past eight months than we did for all of 2020 and 2021 combined.

          Yep. I live in a rural red state and I feel so self conscious wearing a mask, not because I care what they think but because people have been agressive about it. I don’t go out too much anymore and it’s like 50% because I don’t want the antagonism for wearing a mask.

            I live in a purple state and I see shirts with anti-mask graphics and get weird looks for wearing them in public, lol.

        Same! I still wear in grocery stores and in public, but pretty much everyone else gave up.

      They’ve not been wearing masks in my rural area for like a year now.

      Its sad how public health emergencies only last as long as its deemed news-worthy.

      News exec: “Mr Biden and co, ppl are tired of seeing COVID in the news, its not getting good ratings anymore. Can you pretend its over so we can move on, public health be damned?”

      Dems: “Absolutely no problem. COVID’s done everyone, back to work.”

    Thanks Joe! I’m sure having a 9/11 size death toll every week in America alone will be something we learn to live with.
