Why in the world would any Republican bring up Covid after hundreds of thousands, maybe more, died because Donnycon told people to inject bleach or take horse dewormer instead of focusing on a vaccine and widely available tests?!

We're seeing this kind of thing locally. The Republican Alamance County Commissioners are digging in their heels over a widely unpopular movement by some Moms for Liberty types to ban or sticker any "woke" book they don't like and are chattering a lot about how "Marxism" has infiltrated the library and the public schools in some kind of bizarre, vague conspiracy.

The effort's being led by one Commissioner elected in the last election cycle that moved to Alamance in 2019. Before that, he spent his entire adult life since the 80s as a political operative and consultant for national and state level Republican political campaigns and PACs, like Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform.

It's a pretty obvious ploy to try and drive turnout with their base.

Republicans have been in rerun mode this decade. See such rehashes as "Politician Switches Parties to Let Dominant Party Get Their Way" and "Person Switches Parties to Run for Auditor to Get Back at Their Old Party." This time, gender and party swapped and infinitely worse.
