More out-of-touch arrogance from DNC leadership. The more they say “Trust us,” the more reasons they give us not to trust them.
The road to fascism continues to be paved with DNC tone-deaf leadership. They haven’t yet given us any reason not to expect more of the same when they return to power.

When we say “everyone should mask” we don’t actually expect people will. We know how selfish people are. But we say it because:
1) it’s factually true
2) if even a few people listen to us that’s a few more lives saved and, as the Talmud says, every life is a universe.

A “return to normal” is a return to the conditions that led to Trump. In 2020, states formed alliances in response to Trump’s bungled response to COVID, and such alliances are forming again with RFK’s bungled management of public health. Alliances like these could be the way out of a broken system.
