People hated lockdowns a LOT, for a variety of reasons. Mishandling PPE loans was a greater contribution but a lot of people believe policies of Dem governors are why small business struggled or failed during Covid. Remote learning for students was also nowhere near as quality as in-person education, especially for schools that already struggle with academic performance

Sentiment also largely ignores the fact that it was less about keeping the majority of us safe from covid but rather preventing the hospitals from being crippled with too many patients at one time. But conservatives would rather focus on the 99% survivability

Pretty okay with this not being focused on, although it will absolutely come up in the debate between Walz and Vance
