A movie with real world consequences, in certain cases. His spouting off about vaccine mandates cost my wife her job, at least. Perhaps there was a way to successfully navigate that scenario, but she wasn’t law savvy enough to thread that needle. I’m sure that whole mandate ordeal had its role in disclosing the dictatorship loving tendencies of the left and waking up some normies in the process, but my opinion is that these narratives have felt too subtle to jar some people awake. I feel like we needed Biden to pull some shit that the commoners on the left would really hate, and push some of his support away more overtly. In the end, I’m no ghost in the machine, so I trust the methods deployed were the correct ones— just wishing that more of the normies in my life had to see the enemy for what they really are, and adjust accordingly.
