Something going on with rethugs and vaccines?

[Takket]

SHS wrote the op-ed today..Ivey's comments about blaming unvaccinated...

is this a fluke or a change in tone?

I hope its the latter.

1. Midterms. They need to say "I told you to get vaxxed"

and move far away from the anti-mask anti-vax shit stirring they hoped would galvanize their base.

20. "Own the Libs" still seems to be the prevalent mantra

2. They are so fucking transparent.

5. Except to their marks

13. They are wasting their time there.

3. Yes because they realize it was a stupid position and it could cost them a lot of voters

Like, permanently.

Of course their 'leaders' (i.e. people who don't want to lose those votes) are going to frame it as 'the Trump Vaccine' and make it sound like getting it is showing your loyalty/affection for TFG ... as opposed to being the scientific/intelligent/responsible decision ... because that shit doesn't fly with stupid people.

4. Once they found out they would be blamed for the Next Wave, economy collapse, and

Biden was getting high approval ratings on the pandemic, they had to change their tune fast.

Funny how reality bites you in the ass when you live in a Fake News Bubble to gin up your bankrupt party.

6. I'm sure there are lots of videos

of her saying something else.
Great to show before an election.

9. I Love How She Did Her Own Opposition Research

For whoever runs against her.

She's a disgusting pig.

16. Would be easy to montage clips

Says a YouTuber with some skills.

21. While they are at it....

Do the whole Huckabuck family.

27. Now that would make a person physically queasy

Just sayin' :vomit:

7. They're losing & they instinctively know they must flip it before it's too late.

This is their last chance to flip the narrative before they get permanently locked in as, "the party that self immolated with the virus".

[Volaris]

26. It might already be too late in some districts...

13000 new cases A DAY in Florida, and that's still 4 WEEKS from projected peak. If everyone left managed to get their first shot TOMORROW, that numbers gonna climb for another 2 weeks at least before it starts to drop again.

8. They finally figured out that they were killing off their own base.

10. Wall Street had a sell-off because of the delta variant

[Raven123]

11. They were hoping enough GOPers had common sense and would get vaccinated on their own

SHS and company planned to to claim the vaccine was unnecessary, Trump was right and COVID would just disappear, knowing they were vaccinated and not admitting it. However, their misinformation campaign was such a successful monster that they now have to try to kill it off.

12. My husband thinks it was the stock market

what else could make them appear to care about people?

[uponit7771]

29. Its back to pre drop levels already and GQP is still pushing vaxes, its cause their older voters who

... are stable voters are dying especially in MO for instance.

Red areas are getting bent bad

[spanone]

14. I think the dumbasses suddenly realized they are killing their base....which is fine with me.

[Beachnutt]

15. Look, I just posted Last Monday that Joe should

call it the trump shot and all the thugs would rush to get it.....hehehe
the ole brer rabbit theory

[QED]

17. Notice she calls it the "Trump vaccine"?

They're trying to reframe this to give tfg credit and maybe to get more people vaccinated.

[TheBlackAdder]

18. So she got the vaccine a few months ago but was OK the other day aiding anti-vaxxers?

[Midnight Writer]

19. I reckon GOP internal polling is to blame (or credit).

They measure intensity as well as straight up or down opinions.

My guess is that most people not taking the vaccines feel that it is an individual choice issue and don't mind much if Granny wants her shot.

On the other hand, people for the vaccines feel very strongly that the anti-vaxxers are irresponsibly endangering innocent people and are creating a long term health problem for our country.

Thus, the intensity is greater on the pro-vax side.

The greater the intensity of the position, the more likely folks are to vote based on that position.

Again, just my guess.

22. There is no Trimp vaccine

That is all - Eff that shit.

23. I think Grover Norquist told them at his Wednesday meeting

Norquist holds the meetings on Wednesdays and the whole right-wingosphere gets their talking points then, which is why they all seem to be in the same page all the time. Norquist represents the shadowy moneyed-interests, the puppet masters, that fund and finagle everything for the right-wing media, activists and politicians. So I think the moneyed-interests have decided the pandemic is not good for their bottom-lines and had Grover read the puppets the riot act about vaccination.

Norquist chairs the Washington, DC-based “Wednesday Meeting,” a weekly gathering of more than 150 elected officials, political activists, and movement leaders. The meeting started in 1993 and takes place in ATR’s conference room. There are now 60 similar “center-right” meetings in 48 states.

24. she really is a vile person

fuck her

[Volaris]

25. What's going on is that Delta is gonna fuck up their voter base to the point

That even if they cheat, they won't be able to hold seats on the margins lol, and they're freaking out about it.

And when the still living among their base ask them WHY didnt you TELL US during their campaigns, they can say 'but I did that one time for that day during that one week'.
