You’re really understating what has happened and what is going on.
> Corrosion of democracy is when these rules are used selectively and for political reasons.
When Mayor De Blasio and Governor Cuomo limit church gatherings, but not protests, what would you call that?
If you don’t think the rules are being unevenly enforced, and for political reasons, then you aren’t paying attention.
And if you don’t think it is the people who are calling for this uneven enforcement, you’re paying even less attention.
- noncoml 6y agoBut it’s not the virus that caused the corrosion and the corrosion will not go away if you stop following the rules to help stop the spreading. That’s all I am saying. As an outsider I do agree with you that democracy in US is going through a small crisis t he last few years, and in my opinion both parties are responsible for that by encouraging hate and trying to polarize people. And both parties are playing games with COVID rules which is a shame. However by being a mask denier you don’t help fight the corrosion, you just become a pawn in their game.
