Yeah, well, that much is self-evident.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday defended his ongoing coronavirus-related restrictions on nonessential businesses and places of worship as protesters and looters continue to flood city streets over the death of George Floyd.

The democratic socialist told reporters during a press conference that the protesting and the desire to return to work and to church are “not the same” issues.

“When you see a nation, an entire nation, simultaneously grappling with an extraordinary crisis seeded in 400 years of American racism,” Mr. de Blasio said. “I’m sorry, that is not the same question as the understandably aggrieved store owner or the devout religious person who wants to go back to services.

“This is something that’s not about which side of the spectrum you’re on,” he continued. “It’s about a deep, deep American crisis. We have never seen anything quite like what we’ve seen in the few days. This is powerful, painful, historical moment.

“So, no,” he added. “I have eyes to see. We’re not going to treat it like it’s any other day, we’re not going to treat it like, ‘Why are people outside the bars’ and not notice that all of America is grappling simultaneously with a horrible crisis. Sorry, guys, there’s a world outside New York City. So, we’re dealing with this.”

Ok, figure out what he's saying and get back to us. Still, I have always admired the ability of Leftists like de Blasio to, as they say, "simultaneously accept two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct, often in contravention to one's own memories or sense of reality." A mental process Orwell called "Doublethink."
