.zeeshanaleem: As Republicans line up for the 2022 midterm elections, this candidate's ad reveals the Trump wing of the GOP — and how shallow it is.
And regardless of where one stands on vaccine mandates — I am a huge advocate of getting vaccinated, and think company mandates are reasonable, given how safe the vaccines are, but I do understand discomfort and objections to them — the idea that they represent the foremost Covid-related policy concern right now is remarkable. As Fiore should well know, the pandemic is still ravaging this country’s population, overwhelming its health system and dragging down our economy.
Strikingly, Fiore has nothing to say about the economy, foreign policy, public health, climate change or any number of other major issues with existential stakes in our society. Strikingly, Fiore has nothing to say about the economy, foreign policy, public health, climate change or any number of other major issues with existential stakes in our society. Instead what we get is a narrowly focused culture war.
But perhaps more than anything Fiore conveys a disconcerting militance: Her use of guns and her toppling of the image of a lawmaker echo the insurrectionist themes of Jan. 6, a day that Trump has celebrated. Fiore might not have many ideas about how to solve society’s problems — but solving society’s problems is not this movement’s concern.
