I myself am not worried, but I AM worried about my Fox News watching elderly parents. They are in danger the most. Also, mis-informed.
This is how years of denial, spin, propaganda, lying, and gaslighting end up being. In fact - deadly.
Perhaps it's just that they can change course without any pushback from their demographic -- they're happy believing that we've always been at war with Eastasia. Still, it must cost them something to be quite so demonstrably wrong on something that's so much in people's faces. (As opposed to, say, climate change, where the effects are much slower and more easily shuffled under "the heat wave and fires are just weather".)
This is really not the time for petty partisan politics. Both parties are propaganda machines. It is the nature of the two party system.
