Hello Dutch,
Yeah, I am getting that from a lot of Trump partisans.
They can't see the big picture. They are stricken with fear that pandemic restrictions are the new normal for life. They lack the ability to visualize us getting control of the pandemic. I am guessing there is this big pessimist thing with Trump partisans. They always seem to be looking for the worst in things. They don't want to cooperate with pandemic restrictions, and they don't expect anybody else to, so they think we are totally screwed and now we are stuck with the pandemic forever. It must really suck to be that hopeless.
No wonder they are angry at us.
Makes it easier to understand why they are so afraid of things like pandemic restrictions if they really believe this will be the new normal forever. No wonder they hate liberals so much if they think that's the reality and liberals just can't see it, or are 'foolish' to believe we will see the end of this pandemic. But we will.
Pandemics have come and gone throughout history.
We will totally get through this. We could do it next year.
The only difference the Trump partisans are making is by not cooperating they will simply extend the misery of having to deal with a raging pandemic.
If everyone cooperated with all the distancing, mask use and vaccines, we would be completely done with the pandemic within months.
For us liberals in the know, it has become a matter of grinding down the hold-outs.
We will use every new law, regulation and rule we can conceive to seek our goal.
It falls upon the responsible people of the USA to fight this, because the irresponsible and foolish refuse to help.
It's a complete waste of time trying to rationalize the behavior of irrational people.
They are anti-science. They take folk remedies off social media. They are too chicken to risk their own lives but support the Insurrection.
IMO these people are anything but rational.
