      I chose not to address the partisan vote on anti-vaccine legislation in this op-ed piece but it does bear some discussion (thread 👇🏼) Anti-vaccination movement unites fringe elements of left and right #SB276https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/california-forum/article235028692.html …

      It seems Republican legislators, activists and even GOP consultants have begun weighing in on the righteousness of opposing vaccine legislation. #SB276

      While It’s baffling that every single GOP legislator would vote with a tiny sliver of fringe activists from the right and the left that provides no political benefit for their support - there is actually a peculiar rationale for it...#SB276

      Set aside for a moment that the science on vaccines is clear. Set aside that GOP ‘NO’ votes were a threat to the public health. Set aside that their unanimous support reaffirms how out of touch they’ve become with the vast majority of the public #SB276

      The politics of siding with antivaxxers is nothing less than short-sighted incompetence. The overwhelming majority of Californians - DEM & GOP - support vaccinations & science for that matterhttps://www.ppic.org/blog/most-californians-favor-requiring-vaccinations/ …

      Even in the lowest vaccinated counties (half of which are in strong DEM districts) rates are usually in the 90th percentile districtwide #SB276

      This means the GOP legislative leadership made a conscious decision to side with a tiny fraction of a fringe element in a few districts that will have no impact on their members elections #SB276

      Even antivaxxer proponents of the referendum filed on #SB276 wrote in a letter to their supporters that there was not the public support to be successful in a campaign (These are folks hardly known for their political acumen)

      So why make such a boneheaded political decision? Call it the ‘politics of persecution’. Both the CA GOP & antivaxxers have established their identities by being on the losing side of an issue #SB276

          It’s akin to self deluding oneself to the righteousness of your cause BECAUSE you are losing. The act of losing actually justifies your righteousness. #SB276

          As has been documented, despite the paucity of evidence supporting anti-vaxxer beliefs, "it’s important to not make fun of anti-vaccination attitudes. This will likely reinforce any sense of persecution they feel."https://www.livescience.com/61305-most-online-anti-vaxxers-are-women.html …

          The @CAGOP has become the home of fringe beliefs & the anti-vaccination movement - not for valid policy reasons - but because they share a common sense of persecution and thus, self righteousness. #SB276

          Like the anti-vaccine movement, they have internalized not being listened to as a value that imparts a sort of virtue. Not because they are right on the policy or the politics- rather simply because they are dismissed they feel their cause is righteous. #SB276

          Being dismissed and not listened to becomes an internalized community value. In a perverse way it shows how committed you are to the cause. It leads to fring beliefs, radicalized opinions and unfortunately, sometimes it can turn violent. #SB276

          Replying to @madrid_mike

          Alternate take: our Republican Party has opposed science more and more for more than half a century.
