Main Topic Question: How Much Does Mask Hypocrisy By Elected Officials From The Current Party in Power Contribute To Vaccine Hesitancy?
Let's unpack this.
- Joe Biden and Kamala Harris call for a nation wide mask mandate that they say will save lives.
- Biden signs a mask mandate then immediately goes off with his family maskless in open contradiction to what he just signed.
- Barack Obama, former POTUS, is seen at his birthday party that is a large gathering of hundreds where he is seen maskless and not socially distanced. The rank and file American citizens working the event were masked.
- Anthony Fauci, the face of science, is caught maskless at a baseball game. He is on record flip flopping about masking on multiple levels ( no mask, mask aren't effective, they are effective, double mask, everyone masks, it's too hard to keep track of his lies and back tracking)
- Nancy Pelosi's "nephew" Gavin Newsom locks down the state of California, including Pelosi's district. No one can earn a living doing hair except for Pelosi's hair who is caught maskless. She is also caught in a mass fundraising event with maskless donors ( some paying up to 29K for their breakfast, the rank and file American citizens working the event were masked. ) and forced to backtrack on a mass HOR event after threatening to fine anyone in the HOR who shows up maskless.
- SF Mayor London Breed is caught maskless without being socially distanced and defends herself saying no one should "fun police" her and then points out it's more important that musical artists Tony! Toni! Tone! haven't played live in a couple of decades. The rank and file American citizens working the event were masked.
- Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, running a city into the ground where bloodshed is rampant, is caught on photo getting her hair done while maskless thus defying her own orders. She is also seen maskless celebrating the Biden/Harris election result in public in a large crowd where there is no social distancing at all.
- DC Mayor Muriel Bowser is seen maskless and not socially distanced at a social event, in contradiction to her city mandates, but she desperately wanted a photo op with Dave Chappelle. Maybe she thought Wayne Brady would show up and choke her if she didn't make that happen immediately? The rank and file American citizens working the event were masked.
- CA Governor Gavin Newsom is caught at an expensive exclusive indoor restaurant where he is not masked and not socially distanced, defying is own state orders, and the business in question got 17 times the average PPP funding of any restaurant in his state. The rank and file American citizens working the event were masked. He also kept his winery open but locked down others and put his kids in active expensive private schools while regular Californians watched their own children hang in limbo. He also found time to bang another Staffer ( again in his political career) and took PG&E blood money to ignore the wildfires that killed Californians. When confronted about the blood money on camera and video, Newsom smiled and laughed.
- MI Governor Gretchen Whitmer locked down her state, to the point where some of her own citizens wanted her bumped off, and stood in the deep pockets of Big Medicine/Big Pharma and was caught maskless against her own state orders. The rank and file American citizens working the event were masked.
- RI Governor Gina Raimondo told her constituents to stay home unless it was "essential" She felt it was essential to defy her own orders to get caught maskless at a wine and art bar. The rank and file American citizens working the event were masked.
- SJ Mayor Sam Liccardo, the DNC's Chosen One to watch over Big Social Media, defies his own orders because his own Thanksgiving is more important than the serfs that pay his salary and voted for him. And even the ones who didn't vote for him.
- Texas Democrats avoid their duty to vote, their actual job, and are caught with photos showing them maskless, smiling and loaded with alcohol.
Point to note, through the pandemic, because of the lockdowns, many people could not see their sick and ailing family members in hospitals and nursing homes. These suffering people had to "follow the rules" but not our elected officials?
Why should anyone, on either side of the aisle, wear a mask and/or take the vaccine, if you keep hearing that masks save lives and vaccines save lives and social distancing save lives, but the elected officials in power don't behave with integrity in consideration of their own rules.
You can't lie to people and show hypocrisy and have them trust you. Why should those who are unvaccinated now trust elected officials who say getting the vaccine and wearing a mask and social distancing is the right decision?
This isn't complicated - Change the rules to line up with your own behavior so EVERYONE can engage in that same behavior or simply FOLLOW YOUR OWN RULES.
( This is the point where the personal attacks and "Whataboutism" will start. If someone wants to start a new thread about hypocrisy and the pandemic regarding the "other Party", then go ahead. But that's not the basis of what I'm talking about right now in this thread. Pointing your bloody fingers about someone else's complicity and guilt doesn't wash away the blood from your own hands. )
One of the stated reasons for those who are hesitant to take the vaccine is they "don't trust the government" What exactly has the Party in power done to help show good faith and integrity to the American people and the people in their own states, cities and districts?
Should these hypocritical Democrats be blamed for ALL vaccine hesitancy currently? No.
Should these hypocritical Democrats be blamed for ZERO vaccine hesitancy currently? No.
With great power comes great responsibility. Uncle Ben knew better, but these Democratic power brokers do not. The question then becomes just how much does this hypocrisy, particularly with masks, contributes to national vaccine hesitancy, which contributes to the death count and the misery and suffering of the American people at large during this pandemic?
Anyone who wants to come get a piece of me is free to step right up. Come and get some. Come get all of it.
Discuss.
