What happens when the rules only apply to some people? Throughout 2020, we've witnessed a disturbing pattern of double standards that's tearing at America's social fabric. From COVID-19 lockdowns to protest responses, the message has become clear: your rights depend on which side you're on.
The year began with an impeachment that divided the nation, then quickly spiraled into pandemic panic. As we sheltered in place and watched businesses close, something troubling emerged – statistics manipulated to fit narratives rather than reflect reality. Death counts inflated by as much as 80% in some regions, with officials openly admitting they were "counting everything as COVID." Meanwhile, promising treatments like hydroxychloroquine were politicized and suppressed, with discredited studies making front-page news while their retractions barely received mention.
But the most glaring hypocrisy came when authorities arrested churchgoers for violating social distancing while simultaneously cheering on mass protests. How can we justify ticketing parents at parks but not looters in streets? This selective enforcement creates deep resentment and distrust among everyday Americans who simply want consistent rules applied fairly.
The George Floyd tragedy, genuinely horrific and worthy of outrage, further revealed how simplified narratives prevent nuanced understanding. Media outlets amplifying injustice while ignoring crucial context don't help heal divisions – they deepen them for ratings and clicks. When 21 cities experience large-scale rioting while being described as "peaceful protests," people notice the disconnect between reporting and reality.
America doesn't suffer from systemic racism – it suffers from systemic lack of justice. From Jussie Smollett to James Comey to Roger Stone, different rules apply to different people based on status and politics. This fundamental breakdown threatens democracy itself.
The path forward requires recommitting to equal justice under law. One person, one vote. One set of rules for everyone. Transparent governance and honest information. Without these foundations, the divisions of 2020 will only worsen. We're all just peasants here – and it's time we recognized our common ground before it's too late.
