The extreme reactionaryism is a problem for any policy. What is very dissapointing and disheartening to me is that the policymakers didn't anticipate it and do nothing about it.
It is obviously an enormous problem, and they keep their heads in the sand. That is very demoralizing to everyone - even the reactionaries, I would think.

Polish alt-right party Konfederacja was criticizing government's inaction during the onset of COVID just to turn 180 degrees when restrictions were instated.

Problem solving Step 0: Analyze if and how you're helpless Step 1: Start problem solving The trick to problem solving is to skip step 0, which is a complete waste of resources. Moving on to step 1: Note that the reactionaries, world wide, have changed the political climate to something unimaginable and unprecedented in ~7 years in the US, and they have nothing but lies, despair, hatred, violence and disorder to sell. But they skipped step 0 - good for them, because anyone would have told them it's impossible. We have truth, public welfare, freedom, peace, prosperity, integrity, etc. to sell. Most of history has been on our side. We can change the climate too. But first, we need to move on from step 0.
