| Remember when these people had issues wearing masks (Covid). Now all of a sudden its not a problem. |

| It feels more like a reverse psyop, like “look we are wearing masks now, isn’t this what you wanted”? As long as the sides keep reducing common ground, the farther away from government for the people, by the people we go. |

Child B says that wouldn't be fair, the cookie should be split evenly, half and half. The adult in the room decides to promote common ground, and gives 75% of the cookie to A and 25% to B. | | |

| I am not so sure people started saying "this is fine" more like he started 1000 other fires, several each week if not a new one each day to make far worse problems It's not just the most corrupt administration, it's the most chaos and definitely by design btw all investigations dropped for the execution of two citizens, I mean that's definitely not fine with anyone, just way too many other problems going on now at the same time well there's no statute of limitations on murder at least, so 800 more days |

My prediction: A milquetoast moderate leads the (D)'s and declares: "In the interest of unity and moving forward, we will not go after anyone in the previous administration. Let us all hold hands and get past this with minimal drama... They have pinkey promised they will never behave this way again when they get to power, and we believe them." | | |

| It's wrong when they feel like it infringes on them, it's okay when it empowers and emboldens them to cause harm to others without repercussions. |
