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.
They at least understood that you can’t keep people locked down forever and let the government decide what’s “essential” and what’s not. Even Democrats understood this, so that’s why they vacationed in Florida and Texas.
It’s always fun watching the “I hate politicians” Republicans ONLY be able to explain how they think it’s their right to piss on those lower than them via politicians, then immediately cheer politicians who are directly and openly working against their best interests.
“Yes he’s stealing from me but he’ll let me steal from you if I vote for him”
No, but what made me upset is that every single one of these hypocrites got re-elected. The Democrats need to do better. Just because they’re Team Blue doesn’t mean they’re good people or even have anyone’s best interests in minds.
Have you not noticed that’s exactly what politics became in the US? Everybody would rather be in an echo chamber with other fans of their team than listen to anything the other side has to say.
I used to be more liberal until covid happened. “Rules for thee but not for me!”
Looks like someone wasn’t paying attention then.

-Republicans in a nutshell
Gotta love the binary view of politics in this country.
You haven’t mentioned politics once, only politicians. Nobody buys your “centrist” bullshit anymore bro.
Just because other people are hypocritical and disregard the well being of others doesn’t mean that’s what you should aspire to.

Politics aren’t a team sport.
