    I think this is one of the biggest problems that has undermined America's Covid response: Trump turns everything into a culture war, which creates a polarization when what is needed is unity.https://twitter.com/zackbeauchamp/status/1283843055506927616 …

    I find it very frustrating that the issue of school reopening, which seems very subtle and difficult as a scientific and ethical matter, is getting pulled into the Trumpian culture war

        Which Trump voters/conservatives don't mind when they're not the ones suffering the consequences

        Eventually they'll just turn whether or not people dying en masse is a bad thing into a culture war issue.

        It's not just that - it's that he turns it into a culture war while inevitably pursuing as stupid and terrible a policy as possible.

        It is reductionist to lay the blame solely at his feet. The GOP has been doing this for decades, and there is no excuse for people with your reach to simply let them off the hook.

        You're right. Of course, I highly doubt Bush-era GOPers would have been very compliant. Social media does complicate things, but the own-the-lib tendency exists outside of Trump.

        School reopening is the future of public education funding disguised as a culture war. DeVos saw an opening with Covid.

        Its cute that you think Trump is a cause and not a symptom.
