Just a thought that probably applies to other political issues as well as COVID. The liberals have a done a fine job weaponizing this against Trump specifically and the right in general. For months the narrative has been to blame Trump and that’s been great air cover for the staggering failures of the state officials in their response. It won’t be long until “ we don’t have Trump to beat on anymore”. Inevitably the focus will have to turn to the liberal officials and it will be interesting to watch that roll out. Of course it will remain fashionable to blame Trump for a period of time. But in this climate of restrictions and growing anger, I am sure the left will be preoccupied with joy at their great victory and probably does not anticipate what’s coming down the line. There’s tens of millions of pissed off people who want their lives back and the government playbook of ignoring that is going to have consequences.
I have felt for a long time that judgement day approaches for many public officials. We will see if that’s the case.
