These pundits live in a self-imposed fantasy land. “Our chosen ones would never pander to the antivax sentiment that’s become endemic on the right, and shame on you for daring to make such an implication.”

The funny thing is that these same people would say “Trump isn’t a cause, he’s a symptom.” And they had a point. Trump was a symptom of a conservative movement that lost its way, and a feckless political class that fell in line behind him.
Yet their favored candidates, no they can’t be symptoms of the movement that produced Trump. They’re causes! No one tells them what to do!
I don’t think they believe half the shit they tweet, but they do it because they don’t want to be exiled. It’s such an obvious game, and you shouldn’t feel obliged to indulge them.
