Families don’t need help from Democrats on deciding whether to see each other for the holidays

Published



Because the pandemic has given Democrats and liberals in the news media yet more reason to be self-important, we’ve been hearing nonstop in recent weeks that families should forego holiday gatherings this year. It should be done, we’re told, so that we can more quickly return to normal (psych!) and “keep each other safe.”

Like almost everything else we’ve been lectured about, the advisement comes with that condescending tone perfected by Democrats and “experts” who believe in their hearts that people can’t evaluate their own unique circumstances and make the best choices for themselves without the nagging. But, of course, they can. And the “experts” don’t know why your family, or anyone else’s, would be perfectly right to have gatherings, even when if it means catching a highly contagious virus.
