You are talking out of both sides of your mouth at the same time, bud. So you're saying that we should just blame everyone individually for being careless, and that better leadership and guidance would have had no effect or improvement on our collective behavior? What is the point of government, if not leadership during times of crisis, then?
Stop bringing up the racial justice protests, its a total non-sequitur and red herring. People took to the streets out of justified rage over clear racial disparities in community policing and our criminal justice system. People didn't go out protesting because they wanted to spread or contract a virus, they were just angry and had to show it. If you look at almost every protest, most of those people WERE wearing masks, even outdoors, and to my knowledge almost zero spread of covid-19 was traced to these events. To the contrary, it was the house parties, crowded bars, pool parties, etc, that were we EASILY traced huge numbers of covid spread. One packed night at a bar here in Lansing Michigan led to almost 100 cases, so we smartly shut 'em back down.
I'm gonna step out of this one for a while (hopefully). In the end it clearly doesn't matter what we debate here. Attitudes like yours are finally just a minority in this fine country. If not for the electoral college and gerrymandering... woof, what could have been.
