Republicans just voted against legislation to stop this nonsense. The only remedy is to convince people to vote against this party. the problem is that people identify as Republican and see Democrats as something that goes against the core of their identity. Most people don't follow politics closely and it will take a LOT to get them to wake up.

My ray of hope is that the full effect of these dumb policies have not really hit yet outside of the stock market. Once they do hit, hopefully it wakes up enough of them. The argument for pessimism is that many people convinced themselves that covid was fake and that the vaccines were some kind of conspiracy, so even when their own life was on the line, they chose ignorance tot he point that many people lay dying in the hospital in denial that covid was killing them.

Stories that create identities in peoples mind are a hell of a drug.
