Democracies die when the regime ignores the norms and operates outside the box, while the opposition respects norms and stays inside the box.
If Republicans redraw congressional districts in states they control, then Democrats need to do the same in states we control. NO DOUBT.

I would pay good money for a reporter to ask Donald Trump to explain what an mRNA vaccine is and what his administration’s exact objection to it is.
REPORTER: You were the driving force behind Operation Warp Speed, these mRNA vaccines that are the gold standard. Now your Health Secretary is pulling back all the funding for research ... what is going on?
TRUMP: Research into what?

One reason Trump says & does whatever he wants is because every societal institution, including the media, has completely normalized & internalized the idea that the laws, the Constitution, & the international treaties we have signed & ratified simply don’t apply to this one guy. It’s maddening.

RFK wants to lean into “whole cell” vaccine technology, which has existed for decades, comes with increased risk of side effects and can take years to develop.
mRNA vaccine technology comes with far decreased risk of side effects and can take mere months to develop.
Make it make sense!
