Here's a great line from a piece the other day by DailyKos founder Markos Moulitsas. Discussing twumpies who refuse vaccination, Kos said evidence suggests their stance is beginning to change, thanks to the deadly Delta variant and back-handed GOP efforts to pivot on the issue. He summed up this way:
