  • Democrats loved COVID pandemic

    Nothing quite revealed what absolutely horrific human beings that
    liberals could be quite like the COVID pandemic. The annoying things
    they've always done—nag, whine, lecture, tattle—came with the most
    precious gift in 2020: the backing, approval and moral authority of the
    state, as it’s conceived in the left's mind.

    With the sanction of the government to insert themselves in everyone
    else’s business, liberals felt free to pole vault atop the highest soap
    box and reign down their most wretched sanctimony—all in the name of
    "The Science."

    From their greatest hits list:

    "Where’s your mask?"
    "You’re putting others at risk."
    "Why are you traveling?"
    "Stay home!"
    "We’re all in this together."
    "Follow the science!"
    "Trust the science!"
    "Six feet apart!"
    "Practice social distancing!"
    "Why don’t you wear your mask." (Always phrased as a question, even
    though it wasn’t.)

    Insufferable is the word.

    It was like the end of "Grease" when Sandy—formerly a plain Jane, now
    donning a leather jacket and makeup—suddenly has the nerve to act like
    she runs the place. Except the audience loves Sandy for going the extra
    mile to win a love interest. Liberals were simply acting out their most
    exotic dreams of being able to tell everyone what to do, snapping at
    innocent people while feeling good about themselves. Nobody loved that
    or the people acting it out.

    This remained true even into 2021. In March of that year, a full year
    after the initial pandemic alarm hit the U.S., Democrats and liberals
    were still hyperventilating over its spread: 82 percent of Democrats
    and Democrat-leaning voters believed the new coronavirus was a "major
    threat" to the entire US population "as a whole," according to a Pew
    Research survey. Just half as many Republicans, 41 percent, agreed.
    This was well after learning that COVID was relatively harmless to the
    vast majority of us, with something like a 98 percent survival rate.

    The democrats' strategy is to divide and conquer, and their only weapon
    is racism. They are trying to convince people of color that racism is
    rampant in this country. Which is a lie.
