To be fair, there were some people like Ron Paul and Ben Garrison, who thought the whole thing was a hoax to begin with. But that's definitely a testament to how divided and partisan the United States has become. To the point where we can't even organize a response to a pandemic, which you'd think would be a bipartisan issue.It's odd, Conservatives were the first in Februrary to fill up bunkers with beans, ammo and non-perishables and buy up every N95 immediately when the focus was on China and pwning liberal ABCs for crying racism when people moving away from them whenever they coughed in a crowded room, but as soon as the focus shifted to our own yard in America, then COVID became a hoax by liberal demagogues to enslave the people into wearing masks.
It also shows how little Americans trust the government in a post-9/11 world. I think this really is the consequence of 30 years of shady shit the government has done, from Waco to now, that eroded any sense of unity or trust towards the traditional institutions of the country. I gotta wonder how this same government, and the American public, as it is today would have faired against the Spanish Flu a hundred years ago.
