Democrats and cable news anchors have spent the greater part of 2020 telling everyone to “stay home” in order to “stop the spread,” especially during the holidays but — nah.
I traveled to South Carolina — on an airplane! — ahead of Christmas to stay in a house that will have nine people inside. (Don’t worry, it’s a big house.)
By traveling, I supposedly “put others at risk,” but that’s one of those nonsensical lies liberals have come up with so that they can do their favorite thing: feel morally superior by shaming others. Everyone I encountered on my flight left their own homes voluntarily. The Uber driver who took me to the airport wanted to do that. The other people at the airport were doing the same thing I was. The family I’m visiting invited me to come.
If there were any risks taken, they were the opposite of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual encounters. They were consensual.
One guy at the airport told me he was traveling to Florida to see family as well. His mother, he said, is in her 70s. “But she’s very healthy.”
Pay attention, liberals: This is what it looks like to make personal assessments and determinations.
True, even with vaccines for the coronavirus being distributed en masse at this very moment, we remain in a pandemic during the Christmas season, and it sucks. Infection and death totals can only go up. But the blanket dictates for everyone to “stay home!” have been ridiculous from the beginning. Why would a healthy 30-something decline visiting his or her equally healthy friends and family?
Being young and healthy isn’t an excuse to flout the guidance for heightened hygiene and consideration for others, but people know that. And they accept the risk, just as they do each time they decide to hop in a 1-ton hunk of metal and barrel 70 mph down a highway.
It’s possible that by traveling 400 miles, I may contract the virus from other travelers or maybe even loved ones. That’s a chance I’m willing to take.
If you felt comfortable taking the same chance, that’s OK, too. Merry Christmas!
