Just horrifying.
Guns & disease make Republican controlled area so dangerous. Just as looser gun regulation has now become let (white) people bring big guns to protests & shoot without consequence, they are not going to stop at COVID: guarantee all vaccine mandates are gone in the next few years.
Republican propaganda & Mainstream Media bury fact that 8 of 10 states w/ highest violent crime rate voted Trump in 2020 while 7 of 10 lowest voted Biden AND vast majority of deaths in last COVID wave in Republican controlled area (hit unvaccinated living around unvaccinated)
Terrifying Thought: guaranteed the next Republican president will consider making it illegal for any school or business in US to have any vaccine mandate.

Getting a lot of Republican troll accounts pushing some version of: Rittenhouse situation show how far left Democrats have moved, while Republicans have held same principled position. Worth talking about how far right Republicans have moved on: guns, race, justice.
Republican position of any (white) person should be able to walk anywhere with any weapon without any licensing or regulation is *very recent* and way to right of general population. Democratic position has remained basically unchanged in decades.
Trump very clear on Republican position regarding the law & courts: they only back them when a ruling fits them but they will denounce them when it doesn't. Meanwhile Democratic leaders went out of their way to demonstrate their respect for the law, even w/ this terrible showcase

Everything about the Rittenhouse situation is terrifying: He showed up with big gun at a protest for racial justice to terrify people, to silence free speech. He killed a bunch of people with his big gun. The mainstream Republican Party made him a hero.
Before the trial even started, we were facing a situation where the Republican Party was encouraging people to bring big guns to protests to terrify people, letting everyone know the Republican Party would elevate & support people who terrorize people: even when they kill.
There is not hint of sadness or concern about the people Rittenhouse killed, wounded, or otherwise terrorized, because they actually want that. They see violence as a key/necessary mechanism to maintain white rule.

There are Republican governors in: Vermont, Massachusetts, Maryland AND Democratic governors in: Louisiana, Kentucky, Kansas. You are going to see a lot of hot-takes about what Virginia's election means for 2022 & 2024: those hot-takes are worth the paper they are written on.
If you don't believe me, ask Senator McGrath (D-KY) or Senator Boillier (D-KS) who both had near the biggest war chests in their elections, and got walloped.
I do not want to downplay the effect a Republican governor can have on the people of Virginia: in order to be a national figure he will do bad things to the people of Virginia. But, I would not draw the straight lines to the 2022 election that everyone wants to do.

Reading through washingtonpost.com/politics/inter… will share things that jump out for me ...
Article paints devastating picture of domestic intelligence services doing a great job of collecting information, but FBI refusing to act on it. Image
Director Wray appeared too concerned about what then-President Trump thought about him, when he should have been concerned about stopping a coordinated attack on the Capitol. Image

@maggieNYT (1) Democratic communications directors probably do a lot wrong with messaging, but they do not have access to the general population, they have access to hardcore supporters & the mainstream media. The mainstream media selects what they want to amplify to the general population.
(2) Mainstream media *chooses* to focus on the horse-race of getting the bills passed (and palace intrigue around that horse-race), rather than what is in the bills. Same choice for election coverage. Two key reasons for this (2a) they think the horse-races sells better ...
(2b) Mainstream media likes the horse-race, because it is easy to falsely equate the validity of the people policies & people of two parties, if (and only if) you ignore the policies! Impossible to actually showcase policy and not make the Republicans look bad!

Living through it, it is impossible for us to appreciate the insanity of people *choosing relatively high risk of suffering & death* because their political party has decided convincing their supporters to choose unnecessary suffering & death is good for their electoral chances.
"It’s not that they don’t know anyone who has had COVID. Almost everybody here does. They just don’t believe that masks and vaccines are the solution...[Unvaccinated dude] says his support for Trump has nothing to do w/ his decision-making on vaccination" washingtonpost.com/education/2021…
Unvaccinated dude may say his support for Trump is not why his family is unvaccinated & unmasked in the middle of deadly pandemic regularly killing people he knows, but it is the reason: if Republicans were strongly pro-medicine he would be vaccinated & masked.
