Current Fox frontpage, which I think exceeds my threshold of "blatantly dangerous propaganda": Literally the first link in the article is to the fundraising page for the convoy, btw. I'm not linking to shit. Sorry not sorry. I was wrong about the Super Bowl, but I was correct that the border bridge blockades wouldn't be allowed to continue for more than a couple/few days. The common thread is that disruption of corporatism will not be tolerated. Or they might have run out of time to organize. Not sure. But again, I think that disruption centered on liberal, residential city centers and especially any nearby government courthouses or offices will be thoroughly encouraged. We'll see if the "anti-mandate" folks can meaningfully organize before the State of the Union address, on March 1st. God knows there are plenty of right wing actors pushing for it.
New York Times: "Some Americans cheered the moves, mostly by Democratic governors, but others questioned the timing, with more than 200,000 new virus infections being reported each day." Fox News: "Critics are knocking Dems, media for following politics instead of the science ahead of the midterms" You seen this? Switzerland is about the only country willing to call a spade a spade: COVID has gone from a mandatory pandemic to an elective one. Ain't nobody out there undecided at this point. If you're vaxxed and boosted and under 50, Omicron is LESS dangerous than the flu, and nobody mandates flu shots. More than that, democratic governors are the ones who know their base is utterly, completely, unquestionably safe from COVID at this point. Disrupting the superbowl would have been an extremely stupid look considering California's mask mandate was going to expire in three days. I'm not sure why it's so surprising to everyone that the liberal states are the ones going "enough." But since that doesn't match the Fox News narrative they have to go with "glowering Gavin Newsom."
