This would be them saying that they've won the battle.
And it's quite possible that some of the left-wing political response to shelter-in-place orders and mask mandates, namely deciding to end them as policy, is because of right-wing (and some left-wing) pushback. I just don't know how much. Though I think it was stupid as hell the way they ended both social distancing and mask mandates back in July of 2021, when infection rates were still higher than when the mandates began.
- Mindwipe 3y agoSaid pushback didn't really happen in the UK - polling data in favour of lockdowns was insanely popular. It still broadly stopped both before the US did. These campaigns achieved nothing.
- anonymouskimmer 3y agoTo be fair you already had a Conservative government during the time.
- Timon3 3y agoIt is also possible that their pushback made stronger mandates necessary and thus prolonged the whole thing. Without data it's all speculation.
