Building on Josh Marshall's observations immediately below, Jen Rubin says we need more vaccine mandates. She points to France, where Macron has basically put into place a vaccine passport system. If you don't get vaccinated, there are places you can't go. This led to protests (hey, it's France) but it also led to a massive uptick in vaccinations. Indeed, there is some evidence that vaccinations are going up again in this country in the wake of the fourth wave of Delta.
If Marshall is correct that there are supermajorities who are vaccinated and hoping life will return to normal AND if the GQP is largely identified with anti-vax positions (fairly or unfairly) AND Cleek's Law means that the GQP will freak out and protest vaccine passports...THEN you can cement the GQP's status as the choice of about 40% of the electorate, and make the Democratic Party the party of "life needs to return to normal safely."
