The side of the political aisle that brought you the Florida beach grim reaper and Thanksgiving prohibition seems to have thrown COVID caution to the wind in honor of a projected Biden-Harris victory.
Current election tampering allegations, which can be largely attributed to mail-in ballot concerns, would be considerably less prevalent if not for the narrative that voting would be too dangerous in person. Suddenly, the Democratic concern surrounding in-person contact seems to be almost non-existent.
How the media shifted so abruptly from "anyone going to a spacious beach is a super-spreading monster killing Grandma" to "these mass, densely populated protests with people screaming on top of each other are so inspiring" was one of 2020's most credibility-destroying media acts: https://t.co/8f0ZGe00iq

Perhaps most notable was the crowd that gathered outside of the White House, where hundreds of tightly-packed supporters gathered to celebrate.
I’m told these people were too afraid to go to the polls because of the coronavirus. pic.twitter.com/B2MZ5PqHdE

So NYC is happy for the first time in 9 months. All of a sudden everyone is celebrating- and there’s much less covid worry. Am seeing unmasked people walking around in numbers not seen since February.

Much of the lockdown panic here was driven by anti-Trump hysteria. Just nuts.
The cities of Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Miami saw similar events. These gatherings were celebrated by outlets such as CNN, that had previously lambasted conservative demonstrations for not adhering to social distancing guidelines.

The mask-lacking, sardine-packed celebrations even garnered criticism from COVID loyalists on the left.
Okay let’s not celebrate so hard you give everyone COVID
