Certain types of people are very easily emotionally manipulated, and they usually are the types to scream and wail about covid (and shut it all down!) Then turn around and blame the guy who did a fraction of what they wanted (lockdowns, etc) for the shitstorm that hit the economy and federal deficit.
They're usually Village Idiots.
They'll do the exact same thing with price controls and 25k home buying bonuses.
Think the $600 and $1200 stimulus checks were bad?
Absolute morons.
