So basically, looks like we're headed for a partisan confrontation over whether Americans should heed public health/medical experts during an accelerating crisis.
And of course, it's not entirely partisan: the president is on track to be at odds not only w/ his own experts but a significant share of GOP governors and members of Congress. But among GOP voters, there is no more trusted/listened to figure than the president. Not even close.
Yes Dave. I think we need to be very clear about who is saying we should not do the obviously correct thing and be careful to avoid implying it’s just another partisan disagreement
Fine - listen to Trump at ones peril
Yup. It’s insane!
I think I'm going to side with the party on the same side as public health/medical experts.
Science v Anti-Science isn't exactly a new thing
The stakes have risen considerably though,I think you'll agree.
We kinda knew this moment was coming. Republicans have been suspicious of expertise and science for quite some time now.
This is interesting. I agree with your take. However, this is a shift. It used to be the left that was suspicious of expertise or authority. Now that seems to be shifting to the right. Do you think this just swings or is there a reason for the trend?
