Was this directed at me? It sounds like a terrible idea. No disagreement from me.

RJ, you apparently didn’t read my first link above. It was published by the same folks that published your link (KFF). Race doesn’t tell the full story as nearly a third of Hispanics and black voters are Trump voters. So they also looked at identification of the unvaccinated by political party.
I also mentioned the plurality and majority were Republican. Never claimed there were no Democrats.
I do find it ironic that you of all people accuse me of being partisan when you haven’t posted a single non-partisan comment in decades.

Trump is still the leader of the Republicans. If you don’t see that you’re not paying attention. I’m not going to pretend he doesn’t exist while GOP figures like McCarthy are still paying obeisance to him. And I have no idea why he got vaccinated, but I do have a good idea why he kept it quiet.
You’re welcome to address my main point- that anti-vaxxers tend to be Republicans. The idea that Biden is somehow at fault for this, by your implication, seems absurd.

A strong plurality of those yet to be vaccinated are Republicans. And a strong majority of those who say they will never get the vaccine are Republicans. Maybe Biden can reach some of the rest, but even if he shows more leadership on this issue I would bet a lot of money those Republicans would be even less likely to listen. Some of these folks are unreachable at this point, except perhaps by one of their cult leaders. But as we recall, Trump did his best to keep quiet that he even got the vaccine. Hopefully other conservatives are stepping up.

So the death threats were five years ago, Hilary and Bill are essentially irrelevant now, the suicide investigation is being handled by local police — not the Feds, and yet people in this thread think there some grand conspiracy and that someone would murder this guy over things that are ancient history politically?

“The true President of the US lives in Florida but possession is 9/10ths of the law.”
I guess he can’t run for a third term then.

You like to change the subject, don’t you.

Yes, according to a recent poll (from late March), 31% of Republicans still blame Antifa. There was also a thread about it posted by Cardcrimson on this board shortly after the incident.
PL, you wrote: “A really mature approach would be to understand why they would be pissed enough to storm the Capitol, but that’s an investigation that is too sensitive for politics. Instead we will blame qanon and try to stick it to Trump.”
We know why they were pissed off. Their leadership lied to them repeatedly about “the steal” – and continues to lie about it. And the fact that nearly a third of Republicans believe the insurrection was antifa is indicative of a serious break with reality and basic facts among conservatives.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at how easily conservatives are whitewashing this incident, making it out to be no big deal. Just a few disgruntled tourists who just happened to storm the capitol during the formal and legal conclusion to a democratic election. Nothing to see here. Maybe we can have a 34th hearing on Benghazi instead.

Brix may be on to something. Elrond was not woke.

I don’t see the problem. Voter fraud is essentially non-existent, statistically speaking, and everyone has the right to vote.
Unlike voter fraud, the pandemic is still very real and you do not have a right to attend a game and spread a disease — a very real possibility with major health consequences for people.

Yeah, it was just your garden variety storming of the capitol. Only 5 people died and 138 officers were injured. What’s the big deal? /s
Also:
Before and after the storming of the Capitol, NBC News reported, police seized a dozen firearms, including an assault rifle, and thousands of rounds of ammunition from seven people attending the rally for President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. Other weapons included a crossbow, a stun gun and 11 Molotov cocktails.
… we will never know how many rioters might have been armed with guns on Jan. 6, because only some were arrested that day.

gpn: Every President gets discussed for some period of time after they leave office because the issues they were handling are still relevant for some time. It was the same way with Obama. He was mentioned on the CEB frequently by you all for at least six months to a year after he left office. Same with Bush 8 years earlier.
And Trump is no doubt going to run again, so we’ll be talking about him plenty in the future, unfortunately.
