I struggle with these picks that “seem” so terrible. I am reminded of the days before the 2016 election. The GOP was a mess. I remember discussions and divisions and fighting amongst all the candidates in the primary and how Trump and MAGA slowly vanquished the RINOs and the more conservative libertarians alike. I then realized the process of the primary refined and made powerful the message by our own fighting and defending what is important. Right now MAHA seems to lose with a pick like her but just as Gaetz smoked out Thune and team RINO this will hopefully do the same. The pro health and anti mRNA crowd are still uneasy intellectual partners. Surgeon general may be to get the centrist sheep in the debate to move because we need to outreach into the vaccinated sheep to try and save them and not to mock them. She is a terrible pick to this of us who are unvaccinated but if we want to influence the previously vaccinated or the mask crowd? If a parent in on vaccine 71 for their kid they aren’t going to listen to RFK Jr yet but maybe this SG will have a subtle influence. I don’t “love” pick but I don’t “love” going to work out and the mental jiu jitsu of even trying to defend her a little has made stronger in my own beliefs.
