Many of these people didn't ask for COVID, or lockdowns, or to be riddled with panic porn every time they turned on the TV. Or have to stay at home with their children because schools were closed.
Some people adjusted, others didn't, some prospered, some became paralyzed with fear. Some were physically forced not to be with their loved one in their last days.
Now we have several vaccines. They are not without issues.
The Democratic Socialists see this as a huge opportunity to re-invent America as East Germany. They'll keep passing pork packages with stimulus packages attached to them to as a means of prolonging the COVID measures. Some posters on this board admit it.
They'll try to keep this going until Nov 2022. If they're lucky China will invent a new bug just in time for the 2024 elections.
