Y'all should think about how your thinking is ass backwards. You're assuming the momentary feelings ("I want to go in a restaurant." "I hate masks.") will be lasting, and the most profound shyt ("Mom is dead.") will be fleeting.
People's strongest negative feelings about the lockdown are gonna be right now. When the lockdowns are over those feelings will be less intense. But the dead people will still be dead - in fact, MORE of them will be dead because we are still far from the end.
When in US history have negative feelings about deaths ever faded in a single election cycle?
Bush won in the middle of our soldiers dying in the Iraq War. Nixon won in the middle of losing Vietnam.
Trump lost, he lost in large part due to this, and he lost when we were only halfway through.
Horrific boondoggles always look worse in retrospect, not better. More people are going to keep dying, and more people are going to face long-term health consequences, and when it's over more people are going to get to spend time with family and hear awful stories.
Three years from now, bytching about wearing a mask or missing a motorcycle rally is going to seem trite. But all the dead people are going to still be just as dead and that's real.
About 70%. In other words, 150,000 deaths under 70. That's an insane number.
i don’t think it’s the deaths that bothered people about Trump. I’m not saying people weren’t angered but in large if it felt like he and his people messed up but put 100% in trying he wouldn’t have been penalized by the electorate.
A coach can have a bad season and still have the backing of the team and fans but after a certain point people will lose faith in his ability to find a good direction.
Trump skated cause none of his fake bravado mattered when it was Charlottesville or the impeachment. It was politics as usual.
