My reaction to this is that it’s the small-“l” liberal concept that’s been damaged in the public square. Open debate on a path of discovery; rigorous application of logic and empiricism to counter subjectivity and bias. Instead it’s the reactionary mind and the man-box.

And the people who are going to admit they're wrong are the thousands of people literally risking their lives to cheer on someone who lies to them. Blatant unapologetic lies. ("In two weeks I will give you..." I realize how dangerous Covid-19 but I can't tell the people.
