And I do, you know, I do see people... who years after the pandemic were scolding folks for not wearing masks while we were double, triple vaccinated. And I'm like, oh, fucking K, calm down. Like, this is not how you win people over. This is how you make people like you less.
But also, it just speaks to a broader thing where Republicans say the easy thing because liberal, democratic, even progressive values are are very easy to characterize as the more complicated way to do it. And people don't want to do the more complicated thing. Let's look at Bernie Sanders versus Joe Biden at the presidential debate.

Bernie Sanders was picking apart universal health care and explaining to you how you will be paying a little bit more in taxes, but ultimately saving money because of your health care costs. Joe Biden was saying, don't you remember when everybody was nice? What if we just got nice? And guess who won?

Now, mind you, obviously so many gun control policies that are treated as so partisan are extremely popular. Like, yes, many, many, many Republicans support things like universal background checks and issues like that. But ultimately... The simple answer here, in my opinion, and obviously there's plenty of more complicated conversation to be had by people more qualified than me.
