It absolutely made me a libertarian. I was uninterested in politics my whole life, slightly leaning to the conservative side, but basically apolitical. Now my thinking is "I will never vote for another Democrat as long as I live". And I voted for Biden, not because I liked him (I'm from Delaware and have known him for a long time) but because of the "anything but Trump". mentality. If I had it to do over, I'd vote for Trump.
"Whether you were on the Left or Right, Covid should have made you a libertarian"
One would think this and yet millions embraced and even liked/loved the authoritarianism the government used to deal with covid. It's human nature to want freedom but not every human being desires the same level of freedom. For some it means not being submissive to anyone or anything and for some it's enough to be free within an agreed upon set of limitations such as laws.
