Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

What Gives?

 Suddenly, the GQP and it's media overlords have gotten religion on vaccination. I'm with Josh Marshall that it's difficult to tease out what is happening here. The GQP is only afraid of one thing" electoral backlash in 2022. As far as they are concerned, 2024 is a lifetime away. Everything is about winning control of one house of Congress so that they can make Biden's life a living hell.

Something must have convinced them that this vaccine-reluctance is bad for the brand. Perhaps is the fact that it is literally killing their voters is enough.
