The internet must have the collective memory of goldfish. I remember pretty damn well in January-February when the left was downplaying the virus by saying it's just the flu, wearing a mask is racist, banning travel is racist, cancelling events is racist, and claiming any concerns over the virus was just western propaganda to demonize China. And as soon as Orange Man downplayed it himself, a switch flipped on where everyone collectively changed their minds and started taking it serious.
Let's not forget the Surgeon Generally literally telling us to stop wearing masks in March, and when Dr. Anthony Fauci changed his mind about masks and claimed they only lied to prevent everyone from getting paranoid and buying all the masks. We're not denying the existence of the virus: we're just skeptical about a government that's proven to be unreliable with its lies and misinformation. I find it absurd that you leftists are the most vocal critics of the Trump Administration and will go as far as to call them corrupt fascists, yet you believe we must listen to whatever the government tells us unconditionally without any question or else we're tinfoil hat conspiritards who deny science.
And furthermore, remember the lockdown protests which the media demonized as being selfish and racist (for some reason), and they claimed businesses owners were heroes for remaining open during the pandemic? Just one week later, the media flipped their narrative to encouraging everyone to gather in huge crowds in the streets to protest cops killing joggers, and the libshits on Twitter were defending the destruction of businesses in the name of muh Black Lives. The governor of Michigan literally called the lockdown protesters racist and sexist for refusing to stay at home, then a week later the same cunt was in the streets chanting with BLM protesters herself...ignoring social distancing guidelines, of course.
If the left didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.
