Could happen if we get a variant strong enough maybe.
Dems are dug in on the new normal shit, so it'd be an easy place to hit them at. Needs the right conspiracy too, like the Chinese have modified it and we're engaging in a secret biological war.
Idk something on that level. It's totally possibly. Plus it'll have been long enough to not even have to bring up past feelings on the issue because that's how it works here I guess
I think that would break too many right wingers in half. They may be criminally stupid, but even they would be able to sense a heel-turn of that caliber, provided that the variant isn't causing nuclear-apocalypse-level of deaths.
Honestly, from what we've seen from the chuds so far, what would the deadly-ness level need to increase before they start acting that way? Because if this turns into the Spanish Flu, and kills millions upon millions, then surely something will change, but I wonder if there is an equillibrium between the two.
Maybe. But the urge to Own The Left is strong. They could easily fall back into "China Virus" tier shit and just start lashing out at anyone too Asian looking.
Election year watch.
If it gets insane enough we'll have Republicans bringing it up too
Oh man, what a heel turn. Republicans doing a convoy to DC to protest Joe Biden not fighting COVID hard enough.

I'm saying, all we need is a strong variant and the correct conspiracy theory and it could happen
