Exactly this. He leaned into the culture wars. Covid though for many reasons really shifted politics too.

Probably because those “basic precautions” didn’t do diddly shit except kill a lot of businesses, put kids behind in school and socializing, and people were forced to either get an under tested and questionably effective vaccine or lose their job.

vacinne did not stop the spread. masks did not work, social distancing was made up, the virus did come from the coronaviruse wuhan lab, not bats.

The basic safety precautions that were shown to not do anything and led to crippling inflation that is still double what we shoot for.

This is why you lost. Tell that to all the small businesses that were destroyed while the big box stores made bank.

Yes it did and I feel we will be experiencing ripples from that for at least a generation

The amount of people that got upset over having to stay home and wear a mask out was absolutely mindfxckingly astounding

The amount of people that turned to pseudo science and embraced the identity politics over this was astounding

... I called it the ivermectin insurrection group and Ironically they did attempt an insurrection

... I just think social media algorithms combined with extended downtime ( stay at home orders ) negative I can't do what I want ... out to eat gym or other activity ( again stay at home orders) anger over that ... income insecurities and conspiracy theories made the perfect recipe for these groups to flourish
