I used to be more liberal until covid happened. "Rules for thee but not for me!"
Looks like someone wasn't paying attention then.
Edit: okay that was a little harsh. But maybe I will still say if that was what you focused on and took away from the pandemic it seems like you missed the bigger picture of politics and perspectives of who was actually using science to guide choices and who has people's best interests in mind.
Democrat politicians constantly passed all these covid restrictions and then partied in Republican-led areas like Florida and Texas, or just violated their own rules.
That did not give me the impression that they cared.
Omg so shocking politicians are corrupt ass hats who literally exist in a different class than the rest of us.
Sounds like you've just always been a rube. So are you going further left or just voting for the people who literally tell you they don't care?
You're delusional if you think any politicians actually care about anyone but themselves.
But the point is, I'm not comfortable with politicians deciding what's "essential" and what isn't, then ignoring the rules they set by partying in Florida.
