No social distancing. No masks. No fucks given.

We don’t really do Covid here, but we did Chsitmas and New Years just fine. There was ice skating rinks, funnel cakes, fireworks, trolley rides, games, rooftop Santa, turkey legs, fire pits, a live band, shopping, and fireworks. So many people. The entire down town was packed out and standing room only every night. It’s been a nightly thing for the entire last month.

And you know what? Fucking hell we are taking in the money. We haven’t lost a single storefront during Covid. You see, the state line is just an hour away. Across that imaginary line it’s like East Germany. Our cops directed traffic this weekend while their cops played plague Karen. So their people come to our town instead of quartering their public officials.

Why?

I need you to really get this. Like really get this. There are very large potions of this country that aren’t having to live like you do. Covid lock downs aren’t really a thing outside major cities. They just aren’t. I’ve spent time in rural PA. I question how your define of the sticks.

I know you’re invested in this by your tone but it’s just not true. Even the msm publish article after article lambasting entire states that are not locked down. They act the same way as you. Righteous indignation against the free people somehow justifies your suffering. It doesn’t and it won’t.

I can’t fight this fight for you. My town had a New Year’s Eve rock concert. We had a Christmas village. I had thanksgiving with my family. I shot fireworks. We shop without mask if we choose to. None of the business in my town have closed this year but a payday lender and a forever21. We won our fight because we actually tried.

Name 3 states. Show me one of these places. I have family in a rural town with a population of 300 that's like the big cities.

Dear lord, please SHOW me a place that hasn't lost its mind, because I'm about ready to hang myself.
