The normalization of #COVID by well-meaning politicians* all over the world is another example of this. The push to "return to normal" was driven by the fundamental belief that order is preferable to chaos because it is easier to govern and makes it easier to predict future outcomes.
Career politicians Get Shit Done, as Biden definitely has. But this is their Achilles' heel.
*I know there are many #CovidIsNotOver folks who don't believe they're well-meaning. I think some, like Biden, are. 🤷
