    Of course, the whole argument of lockdowns until now was that it's not about *your* safety, but about spreading a pandemic disease to other people. So, the protestors are deciding how much other people's lives matter.https://twitter.com/WesleyLowery/status/1268997759694225408 …

        Yes. Most liberals know this. With respect, not sure why it takes up 90% of your narrative about liberals/COVID/protests.

        In many people's minds, mostly of color, there is a feeling that they are permanently on a kind of lockdown with no opting out, and that has come to loom larger in their minds than the risk of COVID19, which most are trying to mitigate by wearing masks? 1/

        I’m skeptical about outdoor spread. But if one *wanted* to test the limits packing together, chanting and screaming in each other’s faces would be the way to do it.

        2/ Many are also planning on quarantining themselves once their participation in the demonstration ends, so there is a cost/benefit calculation going on mentally. That, and these crowds are overwhelmingly young, and so, least likely to put their lives at risk by demonstrating.

        3/ My point: this is not sheer irrationality on the part of the demonstrators. For most of them, particularly once the looters and vandals are excluded, this is at least somewhat a measured response to a constant provocation that has, for them, reached an unbearable intensity.

        4/4 If you take those things into account, and again exclude the looters, most are making a calculation that right now, they as young people can do more for their families, communities and nation by demonstrating than by sheltering. Their math MAY be wrong, but it isn't crazy.
