Was talking to a friend about wearing masks and they made the point that they “wish it would have become the norm instead of a side of a political battle.”
Making it political is just trying to explain away indifference to the moral and ethical implications of giving up.
It wasn’t liberal vs conservative, liberals were just as eager to go mask off as soon as possible regardless of the actual situation.
Early on, yes, I can agree that establishment dems and their liberal supporters were trying for a solution. However, In my recent experience they are all equally flippant about it. Liberals have tended to be more willing to feign compassion and be understanding of those of us still wearing masks, but they are still equally as eager to pull the wool over their own eyes for the sake of pre-COVID normalcy. At least conservatives had the convictions to deny it from the beginning.
