If you think this is just about the COVID vaccine, or even the MMR vaccine, you’re not paying attention. RFKjr’s previous comments about there being “no safe vaccine” weren’t limited to COVID/MMR. Now, neither will his policies.
Be clear, people -will- die as a result. (Cue Joni Ernst.)

The same chucklefucks who always claimed to need weapons in case of the “tyranny” of government overreach seem awfully quiet now for some reason.

We ruthlessly (and rightly) mock the "he's playing 4D chess" folks, then turn around and claim the latest brouhaha is "just a distraction."
One of these days, I hope we realize they're the same mediocre-white-man-empowering argument.

The Democratic notion that we need to “save democracy” -before- we tackle the structural problems in our party seems short-sighted & fear-based.
I’d argue we can’t “save democracy,” such as it is, -until- we fix the structural problems in our party, as those deficits helped to enable this bullshit.
