Nothing quite revealed what absolutely horrific human beings that
liberals could be quite like the COVID pandemic. The annoying things
they've always done—nag, whine, lecture, tattle—came with the most
precious gift in 2020: the backing, approval and moral authority of the
state, as it’s conceived in the left's mind.
With the sanction of the government to insert themselves in everyone
else’s business, liberals felt free to pole vault atop the highest soap
box and reign down their most wretched sanctimony—all in the name of
"The Science."
From their greatest hits list:
"Where’s your mask?"
"You’re putting others at risk."
"Why are you traveling?"
"Stay home!"
"We’re all in this together."
"Follow the science!"
"Trust the science!"
"Six feet apart!"
"Practice social distancing!"
"Why don’t you wear your mask." (Always phrased as a question, even
though it wasn’t.)
Insufferable is the word.
It was like the end of "Grease" when Sandy—formerly a plain Jane, now
donning a leather jacket and makeup—suddenly has the nerve to act like
she runs the place. Except the audience loves Sandy for going the extra
mile to win a love interest. Liberals were simply acting out their most
exotic dreams of being able to tell everyone what to do, snapping at
innocent people while feeling good about themselves. Nobody loved that
or the people acting it out.
This remained true even into 2021. In March of that year, a full year
after the initial pandemic alarm hit the U.S., Democrats and liberals
were still hyperventilating over its spread: 82 percent of Democrats
and Democrat-leaning voters believed the new coronavirus was a "major
threat" to the entire US population "as a whole," according to a Pew
Research survey. Just half as many Republicans, 41 percent, agreed.
This was well after learning that COVID was relatively harmless to the
vast majority of us, with something like a 98 percent survival rate.
