What I’m talking about is that America is going to pivot away from nanny mandates. They are hurting the economy and extremely unpopular. Republican governors like Ron Desantis pivoted away a while ago and many of their Democrat counterparts are now joining them in moving away. The Federal government has not. That will all change on March 1st when Biden delivers his State of the Union address. In that address he will declare that his efforts have ended the pandemic and moved us into a softer “endemic” stage which doesn’t require the constructs that are polling so poorly. Get ready for every piece of the Federal government to adopt a direction more in line with an understanding of the pandemic being over.
The Republicans, the Democrats, the media, everyone is going to be turning the page. They’ll all claim the science has changed but the reality is that the politics of it has become untenable.
