LOL would advise you to get your head out of the sand and open your eyes to what's happening around you.
Oh damn, harsh bud... Did Covid radicalize you?
I agree with you COVID didn't radicalize anyone. It just so happened to occur at the same time as Trump and other countries as they took a turn towards fascism. Antiscience and anti intellectualism go with the fascist playbook. They used COVID as a kind of red herring. COVID, trans people, Muslims, border, aliens. It would have been something no matter what.
Why would they need a red herring?
Well said. No shortage of forced panic, sacrificial boogeymen to fixate on for the worst among us
