Increasingly since ~2010 the two American Parties have rotated clockwise around the political compass.

Normally Red tribe is anti-risk.

I don't think this is true. The left is much more interventionist w.r.t. the market and the right prefers people start businesses and take chances. Which tribe raises their kids to compete and accept losses and which created the participation trophy generation?

It's weird what will trigger the blue tribe "we're not safe, immediate action is needed!" reflex. The freakout over alar on apples was blue-driven IIRC.

I think in this case it's almost all driven by attitudes toward government power, rather than disease per se

Disgust/purity is expressed in different ways by both tribes. Used to be the left that was more into new age woo and had wild ideas about contrails and unpronounceable chemicals in food. A lot in the right are moving that way with a growing clique of the swole.

I don't think either group is responding primarily on health/safety/purity grounds This is about legitimate authority. Plenty on the right are willing to take vaccines if they think the fax comes from a legitimate authority. Election gripes aside, Fauci is not that man.

Is this typical or just a short-term thing driven by US party politics? Before early-mid 2020, I would have put bets on RW governments using it as an excuse to close borders and clamp down while the LW tried to downplay it or shame those who tried to protect themselves.
