It's a pity we have to watch the republic burn from this site, but at least it's good to have other like minded folk and not-so-like-minded-folk here that can see what transgressed the past two days was an absolute mess. We'll have to rebuild, but damn is it gonna be a long rebuilding process.

Real life is always more sensible than social media.
For example German twitter is full blown left-wing hysterics: wear your mask, social distance, blablabla. Just went for a walk outside for an hour and saw hundreds of people and not a single mask in sight.
Thats how it is outside most of the major cities here too. I live in a city that is large by local standards by fairly small overall (about 55k), and for all of the fuming from the mayor the mask mandate has very...strange compliance (you see people wearing them, but plenty dont and there is no real fear except from the mayor). Then in most of the surrounding counties, not only are the mandates much less enforced, in some the sheriff straight up wont enforce it.
And far from suffering economically, we are doing pretty damn well. I see almost every building flying "help wanted" signs, offering more than min wage and actually pretty good for local standards, its in just about every field with most being full time jobs, and almost all of the local business and industries have been surviving just as well, to the point that some are even closing to do renovations they have wanted for a while and now they have the funds.
Its only in the cities where people are overreacting and going all in on the hysteria, and I honestly cant tell if its just virtue signaling or if they are really that far out to lunch.
