The absolute genius of the coronavirus is how Democrats and liberals have framed its spread as a matter of blame that only ever goes one way: If I catch COVID-19, it’s my fault for not being responsible. If they catch COVID-19, it’s, again, my fault for not being responsible.
Heads, they win; tails, we lose!
It’s a total ham, and a lot of people have bought into it. That’s why after former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican, tested positive last month, he apologized at length for not having worn a mask 24 hours per day. Yes, he apologized for getting sick.
By contrast, after Democratic Rep. Raul Grijalva of Arizona got infected in August, he didn’t bother apologizing. No, instead, he blamed it on “numerous Republican members” who “strut around the Capitol without a mask.”
Amazing!
The con also sits at the heart of the constant “stay home this Thanksgiving” nagging. If you don’t stay home, they say, you’re “putting others at risk.”
I traveled from Washington, D.C., to South Carolina to see family, and I’m not sorry. I also put no one at risk. How do I know? Because I didn’t force anyone else out of their homes. Everyone I encountered in my travels was there voluntarily.
True, if a person knows he or she is actively infected and yet still decides to travel long distance, that would be inconsiderate, and it would endanger the lives of others. To my knowledge, though, I don’t have the virus, and I have no symptoms to suggest that I might.
Otherwise, the only people I can put at risk will already be putting themselves at risk. Contrary to what Democrats and liberals say, this is a two-way street. I’m not going to carry the blame for any one person who gets sick.
I traveled. If you wanted to and were able to, I hope you did too. Happy Thanksgiving!
