They hated so many things about the pandemic. I don't think the Venn diagram of the various idiotic pet peeves and conspiracy theories is exactly one circle, but there seems to be a lot of resentment for many things coming from the same basic set of people, clustered in the Republican Party. They hated so many things.
- The people that took measures to protect themselves and others, meaning social distancing and masks. The qons hated this and they hated it so much. They hated this stark reminder that donvict couldn't just wish Covid away and make the stock market behave as he wished. They would often claim they saw everyone in cars by themselves with masks on, as if that was the only such use, lol. But boy they were mad about it!
-
The government stepping to help people in need with stimulus checks. This seemed to enrage a lot of them, even if they cashed that check themselves.
-
The notion that there was a safe and effective vaccine seems to have really driven them up the wall. I don't know if it's because they saw lots of people not relying on "thoughts and prayers" when it came to a pandemic? They really hated being laughed at about the horse dewormer stuff, let me tell you that much.

I think what drove some of them the craziest is that many of them have a need to be in-person to bully someone and Covid probably denied them a lot of that. I noticed the people wanting people "back to work" the most were these types. I think Joe being able to "campaign from his basement" as donnie failed to get re-elected and do the most basic of things to be popular during a pandemic really just drove them to total incoherence. Many of them were already marginal with the Pizzagate and Qanon shit, but Covid drove them right off a cliff. I think Obama getting elected, then Covid drove a large portion of our population into batshit insanity.
Many of them will never get over vaccine mandates.
And many of them literally think that Fauci should get the death penalty for some supposed transgression. Nothing they say is even remotely rooted in reality and it's all quite incoherent, but boy are they mad.
