The democrats are supposed to be all about being safe during COVID. I’m not complaining , it shows how relieved people are that Trump lost but if these were republicans celebrating a Trump win there would be uproar. Also shows how we will all interpret the same actions of different people depending on what we support.

If anything I’m just pointing out how we can let our own prejudices (Trump outdoor rallies bad) skewer our interpretations of things. Part of the issues in politics is that no side reflects on its own behaviors, it’s always pointing out the others flaws.

The response of some Of you shows why there are such divides in politics , absolutely no self reflection, the others are always worse then my team....

Amongst these citizens are ‘working-class’ working white men and women. These citizens, sometimes referred to as the ‘left behinds’ view their world as disappearing before their eyes because of: -Mass immigration - Globalisation - Indifference towards national traditions - Stifling political correctness - Identity politics - Hyper individualism - Growing gap between rich and poor Many of them have no longer the possibility of well-paid industrial work as the old industries close and, in their place, the gig economy, minimum wages, poor working conditions with weak or no union representation. Many are suffering from intense anxiety about their looming status as a minority group in their own country. These are decent, hard-working people who are not ‘deplorables’ and should have their legitimate views respected by the political class.

But that is surely only a tiny percentage of Democrat voters. They are vocal though and I think over the coming year it will come up that Biden is more centre than some on the furthest fringes hope for. But like all things in life. You can't please everyone.

I think you would see a stark difference in imagery had this been a Trump celebration party, in that masks would be on far fewer people. I've honestly not seen anyone in these images not wearing a mask. I'm sure there are some, but I would guess less than 1%. As much as the imagery of groups of people may look similar, that distinction is the difference between likely transmission and unlikely transmission. I agree with you it's unfortunate that it's happening, but since it is happening, at least it's happening the right way.
