Many were too distracted with OMB.

But even if you don't like DJT, what kind of blows my mind is that one is okay with the abuse we as a society have taken. Although I think had the professional class bore the brunt of the fallout from lockdowns. things would have looked different.

I don't normally go off on strangers, but I did on another site not too long ago. Woman was very pro-lockdown and was sparring with others. Then came the admission that it had not affected her although a restaurant they liked went under. I basically said, so you lost a place to go on date night, but the owner and employees lost their livelihoods and your response is oh well, such a shame. I blasted her, asking if she had ANY idea how she was coming across and that I hoped to God she never said that to the face of the owner. She was quiet after that. (Disclosure: my family owns a small business and has struggled so while I admit I am sensitive to this issue, it is because I am close to it and see the consequences first-hand. )

I also mentioned that if 30% of law firms had gone bust as a result of CV, we would be singing a different tune with regards to lockdowns . Which brings me back to my point about the white collar/professional class. I don't think it is accidental that the professional class has managed to do okay. For better or worse, they hold more power/influence and many of them scream the loudest about being safe. There is a tendency to look down on others as many are social climbers. Useful idiots, so to speak, to assist in promoting a narrative. The woman I referenced above is the perfect example in her attitude of 'it's just a little restaurant ', yet I doubt she would last a week if she actually had to run one.
