          They’re never going to listen. They genuinely don’t think what they did was wrong and they don’t see the nightmarish consequences of their actions, including the rise of Ron Desantis and the massive uptick of violent crime, provoking the right wing to take revenge by banning abortion and revealing the massive extent of regulatory capture they’ve engaged in for the past 50 years, and now we’re on the brink of a civil war.

          They’re not listening because all they cared about was limiting their exposure to covid at any cost, even their own families, and they don’t want to consider that what they did is wrong.

          And they’re not going to ever be convinced to listen or care because now it’s a partisan issue.

          I am just so, so deeply disappointed in humanity because of this fucking decade. 🤦🤦🤦
