The problem is the rallying happened on the other side, and out of all of this the far, outright fascist, extreme right has recruited more people than ever before. And in large part what they've recruited on is extreme anti-social behaviour, conspiracy theories about the WEF etc, total bullshit lies about the vaccines (including crap I see commented on in this forum all the time), and laying the blame in all the wrong places.
Did government mismanage COVID? Yep. Did they do in an unjust way? Yep. You know what's worse? Savagely letting the vulnerable die, and the rather .. deplorable ... people who built a whole ideological edifice out of complaining about social duties during the pandemic and pretending it was all fake.
It's not like it wasn't possible to be critical of gov't approaches and also pitch in to help out.
Lots of suspect motivations and people.
