While reading the very excellent Washington Post piece about the spread of election fraud claims across the United States, I couldn’t shake the feeling the story felt eerily like aspects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Thank you for your thought provoking article. It's the first I've read that has tied the pandemic to the Big Lie and attack on our Democracy..I think thats the purpose-to overwhelm,distract,make ppl doubt Rule of law-including voting results. I know bottom line for Reps is to win in 2022..And we can't let them. But how do we do that?
I try not to lose faith in DOJ-but Trump,Bannon,Stone,Flynn&many more-are still walking around free,spreading lies,disinformation,division-they're chaos makers.They must be arrested and prosecuted for all their crimes including Sedition,Treason.There has to be accountability.for ALL traitors-in Congress and Senate.It's just so overwhelming..and that's what they want..
First of all, great extended analogy, Jay. Forgive my parochialism and lack of compassion, but if all this means fewer of these gullible deplorables casting votes for their fascist leader wannabes, then I hope the two viruses wreak havoc on their willing vectors.
I think we would need many vaccines.....the first being some sort of regulation regarding misinformation on social media. But that almost seems insurmountable.

An uncanny similarity for sure.
The big question for us is — what is the "vaccine" for a lie and misinformation pandemic replete with variants?
