Stop blaming politicians for the psychopathy of your fellow citizens. Your fellow citizens are the reason why we have had lockdowns for the better part of the past 13 months and restrictions the entire time. My own family is upset with me for not wanting to take the vaccine. The bottom line is that human beings are selfish and want to impose their will on you for their own self-benefit. And then have the audacity to gaslight you by calling you selfish. When someone calls you selfish, it's because you're not doing what they want you to do. When someone calls me selfish, what I'm hearing is "your happiness and human flourishing doesn't matter to me." A virus with a 99.5+% survival rate has brought out the absolute worst in people.
