Well, we had politicians doing covid parties, dumb christians doing retreats, fucking foolish rejects crying that they were told to stay home for two weeks because it was just so important that they can make the run to their local hardware store to pick up the 5 gallon bucket to fill with their carbonated and sugary beverages...

When people can override basic logic about avoiding contagion because it 'owns the libs,' then it's definitely going to be overridden when it's something that 'means something' in their life, such as a kid's competitions.
