The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s latest confused pronouncement about masks is another blow to the embattled agency, whose track record hasn’t been exactly brilliant.
For months, the CDC has married a god-awful communications strategy with a determination to cater to the most irrational whims of the paranoid, triple-masking urban gentry: the whims of the archetypical Karen, in other words.
The latest stutter-step is an embarrassment for the public-health establishment and for a Team Biden left trying to explain what the CDC meant. But there’s also an opportunity here for Republicans heading into the 2022 election: The GOP should run as the anti-lockdown party — the anti-Karen party.
A recent Rasmussen poll indicates that broad swaths of America are skeptical of the lockdown response to the pandemic. What’s most interesting is that the skepticism is highest among groups that are key Democratic constituencies.
Overall, a majority of voters — 55 percent — agree that “despite good intentions, shutting down businesses and locking down society did more harm than good.” Only 38 percent disagree, with the rest unsure.
But the really interesting part is the racial breakdown: White Democrats reject the idea that lockdowns did more harm than good by a 30-plus-point margin. Nonwhite Democrats, on the other hand, are evenly divided.
The divide widens on the question of whether government officials will hold on to too much power in the future: 62 percent of voters say yes. Nearly two-thirds of white Democrats disagree. But note well: By a whopping 64-27 margin, black Democrats fear that officials will abuse their vast new powers.

The midterm Variant.
“Republicans can extend the inevitable backlash. And all it takes is a simple, consistent message: The pandemic is over. The vaccines have crushed the virus, with deaths and hospitalizations trending down precipitously. Say no to masks, to irrational rules, to the ways Karen and her bureaucratic servants would suffocate ordinary people’s lives, especially working-class Americans who can’t work remotely.”
The obvious is:
Delta variant is a fresh Bioweapon unleashed by Fauci and fellow Death Merchants.
Your vaccine is no good but everyone has to have one.
Mask up and shut down.
Stay away from that pitchfork and torch.
Do not try to teach the Karens:
Most masks that people wear are useless or worse.
White collar white democrats didn’t lose their jobs.
You should not have done so in the first place but better late then never I suppose.
Didn’t mask last time. Odds are just as good this time
Hm. This is quite good.
The problem with that is, many of the Covid Commies who lusted for power were Republicans as well. Massachusetts, Maryland, and Ohio all come to mind. Even supposedly free States like Mississippi and Texas had Governors like Greg Abbott and Tate Reeves, who were only stopped by courageous legislators and an outraged public.
Another thing I'm afraid of, is that the GOP in Washington so loves their Democrat "friends across the aisle" and loathes us normal people, that today's anti-mask revolt was just a Kabuki stunt performed with the permission of Nancy Pelosi and Chucky Schumer. Come tomorrow, or next week, they'll obediently be wearing Chicom Cootie Face Condoms like the good little Cucks they are.
Thanks.
I stole it and please use it.
It has turned out to be perfect for today’s Covid 19 world.
Glen is exactly correct: there is an historic opportunity for the Reps, which generally means that the Squishes and Rinos will accidentally on purpose “blow it”.
But there’s a problem with business as usual, and it’s named Donald Trump. This is the message he’s been hammering, and there’s a chance that the squish establishment is just going to have to shut up and let the right win for once.
One can always hope.
Saving that image.
What if the scum sucking dirt bags, order another lockdown? That should unleash a bit of hate and discontent among the troops. 😀👍 I think the rats 🐀 would like to do that, but maybe they fear a REAL insurrection, not a fake one, that they are investigating now.
Normal Americans just need to stand up to the unhappy childless urban cat-ladies who are trying to force us all down to their level.
