The government cured an incurable disease in a year and gave away its cure to its biggest enemies for free and people are still acting like the government is bad and oppressive. It really shuts down good dialogue when “the government” is demonized beyond all reason.

Even better are people who demonize governments and at the same time think it is somehow a good idea to vote people into government who run on not much more than claiming the government is evil and cannot function.

What do you even expect them to do? Enrich themselves? Make government even more dysfunctional to prove your point?

I don't know about you, but even if I believed governments are evil and dysfunctional I'd rather vote someone idealistic in who doesn't believe that and tries to really fix things. Unless of course you want the whole system to go down.

A disease (covid, as they later stated) that 99% of people recover from naturally is not incurable. It is literally curred by your own immune system.
What incurable disease has been cured?
