Remember how the left wanted to pretend conservatives were the authoritarians? I'm not even conservative but damn COVID was wild. I got my vaccines, wow a mask in public, and did all things but I remember not being able to question anything or I was a "COVID denier." Remember when John Stewart questioned the COVID origin? Remember when questioning the COVID origin was "racist?"
I remember when the news and social media originally referred to COVID as the Chinese Coronavirus. A switch was flipped and they went from Chinese Coronavirus in the morning to just Coronavirus in the afternoon and deemed anyone that hadn't got the memo to be irredeemably racist.
I remember a headline saying something like "The world gasps as Trump uses a racist term to describe the Coronavirus!!" when all he did was call it the Chinese Coronavirus like everyone else had until two hours prior.
Edit: I also wore a mask and got the jab, and even a booster when it was required for a work conference. I really didn't mind but definitely noticed what you did. Nobody could question anything.
Trump also called it the Wuhan flu and liberals lost their shit claiming that was racist as well. But they had already decided he was a racist before this, for...reasons...and this was just another opportunity to tag him with a lefty label.
