Greg Sargent points out how the GOP is playing an anti-confidence game. They are casually talking about how "people" are distrustful of vaccines or elections results, while simultaneously and surreptitiously stoke those fears. It is a version of "some people say" as a way to inject horrible ideas into the public discourse.
I've written before about how the GOP project since Reagan has been to dismantle the ability of government to govern, but usually that was just to service great wealth. Now, they are trying to degrade the function of and trust in government so that more people will die of an increasingly preventable disease.
