GOP has to fight this or they are finished - why support a party who won't fight this?

again, I don't think so

Antivax is a lost cause

most whites are pro vax, so the GOP has no cause to fight the vax

even Rand Paul advises people to get vaxxed

Antivax has no constituency, and what cohort it does have are mostly blacks who vote Democrat by default

you are out on the fringe now, nobody needs to court your vote, the GOP can win without you

I don't have an answer to that and I don't think the GOP advisors do either. So let's hope Joe is backing them into a corner.

You need to separate your thinking of the GOP. You have the Trump GOP, the Old GOP, and the RINOS.

The old GOP and the RINOS need to act with the Trump Republicans or walk. The RINOS need to be removed.

Until we get ⅔ or more of the GOP under a single flag we have other problems.

On that note, the people will fight this themselves, the politicians will follow, and that is how it should be.

the GOP is the white people party, the white people have voted with their feet, 80% vaccinated

even Trump is running pro-vax

Antivax is the fringe of both the left & right, so nobody needs the Antivax vote to win

Jimmy Dore + Joe Rogan is not the GOP constituency

I don't think the vax is a decisive indicator of political will.
Many people have been vaxxed for many reasons.
Were I single, I would not be vaxxed.
Because of family calculations, I am.
But my political and social views don't hinge on the vaccine whatsoever.

It's all about mandatory vs voluntary to me.
So if one were to look at my age, race, and gender - and conclude that there's no constituency among middle aged white guys to "oppose vaccinations" they would be dead wrong. They would be correct to assume that I don't oppose people voluntarily vaccinating as they choose. But they would find me fiercely opposed to a tyrannical government mandating that everyone vaccinate "or else".

How is this not house negro shit? Calling Elder an uncle tom while letting goofy shit like this go unchecked?

Well ... on the upside it's refreshing to see someone other than whites doing embarrassing, cringeworthy shit related to COVID.

sure, but most Republicans are not actually libertarian

the GOP is not going to lose votes for throwing the Antivaxxers under the bus

Antivaxxers have nowhere else to go

I mean, I don't vote at all, I no longer look to democracy to solve any problems

but if you are still handicapping the game as it is ?

Antivax is a lost cause and not a hill that conservatives will die on

again, it's mostly poor blacks who are antivax, but they were never going to vote for the GOP anyways

Ever the glass is half full guy, DB. You are right, there shouldn't be whites' only cringe when it comes to furthering the State's agenda? Now they need to get the yellow, reds and greens in on the game.

he's a Democratic Socialist tho

thus his general complaint is that there is not enough authoritarian intervention from the Feds

hence he is a back actor who is merely confused as to whose side he is really on

He's useful to my POV.

lost cause : 80% of white Americans are vaccinated

even in Red States like Idaho (83%) or Missouri (86%) or the swing state of Ohio (80%)

the only people not getting vaxed are Blacks & Hispanics who mostly vote Democrat

even Donald Trump himself is calling on white folk to get vaccinated

I wouldn't waste your energy on a fight you've already lost, you don't have that leeway to spare

/shrugs

I think you’ll find those numbers a BIT optimistic lol

I think you will find that Trump & the GOP in Congress are going to throw Antivaxxers under the bus

then you can vote Libertarian if you like, but that's basically a vote for the Democrats then

the best the GOP can do is get the Congress back in 2022, then maybe Trump can win in 2024

but in order to do that, MHF fringe radical types will be thrown under the bus

the GOP is not even running for your vote, they need to flip Reagan Democrats in order to win

the actual guy they are after; is Hanarchy, not you, nobody runs for your vote, you are a non factor
