It may take a long time - much longer than any of us would like - to climb back up out of the COVID pit. But it's going to take FAR longer to climb out of the donaldvirus pit - if we ever completely do. Unfortunately, with hate radio and Pox Noise and all its little spawn (OAN and the Sinclair stations) very unlikely to disappear, it's doubtful we ever will recover. Those entities gave that contingent a voice and forced a place at the table for them, and gave them and their TV quacks and happy-talkers and liars and propagandists and excuse-makers and their conspiracy theories the appearance of "legitimacy." And they are NOT going to be willing to give that up.
When so many people who don't like reality and don't want to face the truth are reinforce in that, and told that it's okay, and that it's good, and their so-called pResident gives it the thumbs-up from the Oval Office forcryingoutloud, then it's just bad behavior getting reinforced. And dammit, ANY responsible mom or dad knows you don't do that! You DON'T do that! You DON'T reinforce bad behavior! You reinforce GOOD behavior and discourage bad behavior.
