End Wokeness Asked for the Most Insane Video Flashbacks From the COVID Era and X Users Delivered

It's been about six years since the COVID-19 and BLM riot worlds collided, and the definitions of "experts" and "mostly peaceful" were forever changed.

Thinking back to that time, @EndWokeness posted this question earlier in the week:

Favorite video from the COVID era?

That's so true.

We'll start with this classic:

Minneapolis, May 2020. Velshi, as an inferno rages behind him:

“This is mostly a protest. It is not, generally speaking, unruly."

"Fiery but mostly peaceful protest" was one of the most notorious things from that entire year. Remember when "the experts" also said that mass protests/riots were "safe" but going to church or having holiday dinners with your family weren't?

"There's also a burger element to this." Yikes.

My favorite video was watching my daughter’s graduation from college. She was sitting beside me watching it on tv because she wasn’t allowed to attend. Neither was the entire class. A name scrolling across the screen on a prerecorded message was her walk across the stage. https://t.co/jpzR0dfOkY

The "Rona Destroyer" was... something else.

Not a video but it’s wild how much anger I still have in my heart over this and its like. https://t.co/XCOCIrM3iE pic.twitter.com/bCstC4SemK

The level of Democrat hypocrisy was off the charts.

Not a video, but I’ll never get over the arrows on the floor in the store. The world turned into a prison planet over night. https://t.co/6fGSjbJnuF pic.twitter.com/DTeLEzDfOZ

A local large grocery store near where this editor lives somehow thought it was encouraging social distancing by closing all entrances/exits except one, which meant everybody coming and going had to herd through a single door. Science!
