The Mask Cultists Are All Alone Now

COVID is over. I mean, it's been over for weeks now, but now it's truly gone. The Democrats have abandoned it. The media is no longer COVID-obsessed. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has quietly removed almost every COVID containment protocol that hasn't worked in over two years. The liberals who mocked the deaths of the unvaccinated and wore 56 masks every day are now all alone. Totally abandoned—it's going to be hilarious to watch these people totally meltdown.

You're already seeing it, and the new narrative is going to be, "Well, I'm not a slave to the government; I don't do what they always tell me." The mask cult is going to adopt that—it's their only move. COVID restrictions are being lifted everywhere. In the bluest of enclaves, mask mandates are going bye-bye. Even Congress is lifting the mask mandate before Joe Biden's State of the Union address tonight.

What's painfully obvious as well is that this pivot is going to fall on deaf ears. No one cares. COVID is over. We have three vaccines. We have therapeutics. It's a virus with a 99-plus percent survival rate. We're all done. The only people who will go hypoxic over the end of the COVID regime are teachers and the mentally ill. They're going to learn quickly that they'll be the only ones yelling in the street. They're the minority. And one way to really lose everyone is to call them ableist and other terms that often elicit mockery because they're beyond ridiculous. Yeah, sorry, if taking my mask off and living life makes me an ableist, then I'm a hardcore ableist, a proud one. Suck on that.

I swear this will be the last thing I write about COVID because, frankly, I'm tired of it, but the many crises that hit prior to the war in Ukraine concerning inflation, rising fuel costs, the border crisis, and Joe Biden's dementia—sucked up these quiet moves on COVID. The political science changed. If Russia didn't invade Ukraine, it would have been even more explicit. 

The arrival of multiple memos from Democratic Party operatives was also a significant development that got zero attention from the media. Joe Biden is one of our weakest presidents in recent memory. No one likes the job he's doing, and the COVID restrictions were starting to eat away at the Democratic Party's already abysmal approval numbers. The best Democrats can do right now for 2022 is look like crap. Right now, they're drowning in the bilge. Easing COVID restrictions might ensure they can come up for air, but they'll still look and smell like crap to voters. There's no turnaround here. There's no clean break. The best the left can do is blunt the extent of the losses, which will still be deep. Better to lose both arms and legs and survive than be totally ripped apart, right?

That's all that's left for Democrats, but it's also not enough just to ease the COVID restrictions. Frankly, the damage is done. Businesses are trashed, and the impact this has had on school kids and their parents won't be fixed for decades. The mask mandates were child abuse. The school boards were acting like little French Directories. And these kids were the best protected from the virus from the get-go. 

This circus is over, and we, normal people, will barrel over the mentally ill and the mask cultists because their time is up. Go inside and stay there forever. We don't care. Chart a boat to an island and live there forever. You people were always brain-damaged.
