They have blood on their hands. They’re engaging in experiments with human sacrifice. They just want to kill grandma. For weeks, ordinary, nonideologically driven Americans have faced scorn and smears from the commentary class for demanding that the government allow them to return to work.

Yet strangely enough, the “you just want to kill grandma” crowd went silent as thousands of violent protesters across dozens of cities burned cars and looted businesses in the name of peace. Most of them, it should be added, appeared to scream and cough and breathe over each other without any semblance of mask-wearing or social distancing.
