I like the idea that the way to punish politicians for irresponsible behavior is to hold them seriously accountable to their Oath of Office. Give the oath some teeth, and enforce it.
Yeh, it was COVID that went after republicans.
It wasn’t republicans that politicised COVID and rejected medicine and science.
It wasn’t republicans listening to republican politicians who called it a hoax, and ignored scientific/medical recommendations.
It wasn’t COVID that was politicised.
COVID was created as a political tool to go after specifically American republicans.
(That’s all sarcasm.
COVID doesn’t care about your beliefs. It tried to infect nearly everyone. The resistance to being infected is social distancing, masks and vaccines. All of which are super effective. As proven by the fact that the US is no longer losing a 9/11-worth of people PER DAY and the fact that society is mostly back to normal)
“tried to infect” is not “did infect”. It is unthinking. It doesn’t care about your beliefs. It does “care” about reality of who was vaccinated, which causes it to infect people with vax aligned beliefs less.

How do you do that in a way that can be prevented from being used for political reasons?
That’s like preventing a disease from being used for political reasons.
As COVID, a virus that has zero political affiliation and infected nearly everyone equally, proved…
You can’t.
Except it didn’t, it infected more people who didn’t vax who leaned primarily Republican
Well sure, but that’s not the virus’s fault.

The entire point is for it to be used for political reasons. But y’know good politics.
