Gavin Newsom Wants You To Pretend Like He Just Didn’t Know Any Better During Covid

There is a long list of authority figures (authoritarians, really) who would like for you to believe that they simply didn’t know any better when they imposed ridiculous, unscientific, unconstitutional, damaging, dangerous mandates and policies during Covid. As though they just didn’t know any better when they closed schools, small businesses, and churches, but kept fast food joints, liquor stores, strip clubs, and big box stores open as “essential. Like they just didn’t know any better when they used every possible avenue to coerce you into getting a minimally-tested therapeutic (“vaccine”) that science said you may not have needed and weren’t allowed to ask questions about. As Gavin Newsom just said, in an interview with Chuck Todd on “Meet The Press,”

“I think we would’ve done everything differently…we’ve evolved. We didn’t know what we didn’t know. We’re experts in hindsight. We’re all geniuses now.”

Like, ‘Hey, those things all turned out to be completely wrong and even counterproductive, but we didn’t know that back then so you can’t blame us for that stuff now.’

Oh, but we can. None of these things were invisible or unforeseeable to those willing to look. Every single one of these negative outcomes was predicted, discussed, and feared by MANY people in this country, but we were censored and vilified by people who actively refused to acknowledge all of this. It’s not that they didn’t know any better. It’s that they choose not to do any better. Now that the truth is coming out about basically all the Covid response policies and narratives being dead wrong, the authoritarians who espoused some or all of them would prefer you just forget about all that and give them the benefit of the doubt that it was all done out of ignorance.

Then he tries to diminish his culpability by spreading around the blame, as though we’re all equally responsible for everything, saying,

“It was hardly I; it was we, collectively.”

Make no mistake, these people are not stupid. They are conniving, extremely well connected, and seized their opportunity for power and control. They did know better and chose not to do better, to the detriment of hundreds of millions of Americans.

Do not give them a pass. Do not naively assume that they have learned from their mistakes, that they would do things differently if they could go back, or that they will do things differently in the future. That is giving them far too much credit and ultimately endangers America.
