It wasn’t Xi who shut down my city. He didn’t guide anyone’s hand from the other side of the earth. It was Miss American Pie mayor and city council member, the Annie Oakleys, the salt of the earth airheads who masked our kids and shut down our schools and businesses. The same all-American rabble supported it, either through apathy, fear, or peer pressure. Stop blaming China. Our leaders have agency. They had a choice and they made it. The blame is on them.
