      Thank you! This comment is so validating. I remember this time last year (or maybe it was more in January when COVID numbers were getting better) so many liberals - both those I know IRL and in the public - were absolutely sure 2021 was gonna be just swell. They thought COVID was nearly over and that the economy would skyrocket. I remember thinking they were looking at things with the most rosy rose-colored glasses. Because no one could look at the information we had and objectively come to the conclusion that 2021 was gonna be a-ok.

    Love the uncritical thoughts on the material conditions or systemic problems that led to this year being so similar.
