For pundits asking "what changed with trumpy magat mouthpieces" about vaccines, no one

[Comfortably_Numb]

is stating the obvious. Magat sycophants, hannity, deSatan, Scumlese, have figured out that it’s their maroons that are dying now. It’s that old republican thing about “now it’s hurting the wrong people.” 99.5% death rate is unvaxxed, magats are overwhelmingly unvaxxed, ergo magats are dying now. It’s not a blue state death march any more so everybody but Orange Foolius and Cancun cruz is coming around.

1. I think you are right. Nt

[BigmanPigman]

2. I think it has to do with two things...

1. The Dow dropped a lot this week (they live for $$$ don't forget)
2. Word got out that all Fux Ruse employees secretly got vaxxed.

[Comfortably_Numb]

3. Ah yes, mammon, the true god of the treason caucus.

[Skittles]

4. they don't give a FUCK about people

it's all money and power with them - they are afraid of being sued, and scared that covid will decrease their voter turnout

5. They didn't think this through, did they?

It makes you wonder if they'd ever tire of their own bumbling and fuckups. So self-defeating and hilarious.

6. They're killing their own base

Ah well

7. Never-Trump Repuke operative Rick Wilson thinks that the RNC or similar got new polling data

and something has changed which scared the shit out of them. All those reversals/walkbacks seemed too clustered together in time to be happening without some common prompt.

I dunno. Seems plausible/possible, I suppose.

[GoodRaisin]

13. Probably because it's their voters/viewers who are dying or have dead family members

and they worried they are going to figure out Fox News is killing them.

It happened fast. I think Rick Wilson is right. Fox News didn't suddenly start caring about human life so it has to be something of that order.

8. Also children are getting sick.

[BigmanPigman]

9. They don't care about children,

unless it is their own spawn. Even then Lara tRump still doesn't think kids should be protected. These are really crazy individuals.

10. Yes they are monsters.

11. At this rate there won't be many MAGA voters left in the red states. It's their exclusive form

of voter suppression.

12. There is growing anger at the unvaccinated. Including plenty of vaccinated republicans.

And a shit ton of independents.

And the common narrative is that it is Republican policy to doubt the vaccine. Which is totally true.

I just got back from a family gathering in Arkansas. A large majority of them republicans. All of them vaccinated. The few non vaccinated family members were excluded because a couple of our more elderly relatives can’t get vaccinated. They sat outside distanced from everyone else. And there was palpable anger at the unvaccinated and what is now happening in their state with the explosion of cases.

It’s a poor strategy for a political party to support positions which kill your supporters. It tends to override other issues.

14. It tends to override other issues

The Democrats should hammer the point of the unvaccinated mistake home time and time again in 2022 and 2024.
