Crazy seeing "urgency of normal" libs attack blue state policies, as if their policies were any different from red states. Every state in the US fucked up. The federal government fucked up. But now a narrative is being pushed that blue states were basically fully locked down while red states did nothing; and since our overall response was so bad clearly we should have just let 'er rip then.
I live in a blue state but have a lot of family and friends in a red state. I would have difficulty explaining how there was any difference between the two responses, practically speaking.
Pretty much the only "restriction" that still exists is mask mandates and those will be gone in 6 weeks.
I keep seeing libs light up on the CHUDs about masks when that's the bare minimum. I'd even say it's below a minimum effort if you aren't mandating N95 grade masks (or above, I suppose) and supporting the manufacture and distribution of them on an international scale like the vaccine. People can't "zoom out* and see that it's been 2 years of failure, and that wearing a paper mask to your table in a crowded bar where you take it off (I have done this myself) is useless "virtue signalling" (generally a yuck term but it fits here).
Very similar to having large discussions about recycling while making no effort to reduce or reuse first. You've skipped 2 or more of the most important steps!

"Lockdown" = "I saw someone wearing masks"
