My opinion - Anti-vaxxers who weren't alive when polio was rampant should STFU about vaccines

[BaronChocula]

61. I don't think it's about vaccines

At least with the highly politicized right-wing media-watching types who have been railing against common sense since Reagan convinced them to vote against their own interests on any number of issues. As the Democratic Party has become the party of competence with a bent towards common sense and good practices, they've been brainwashed to rebel against what was conventional wisdom. It's why they liked W's incompetence - "He's a mediocre guy who goes with his gut rather than all this liberal common sense."

It's why they rebel against climate mitigation, FEMA, Sesame Street, NATO, unions, vaccines, and so on. They've abandoned supporting everything that's right because they feel it's the only power they have left as members of their particular demographic, wink, wink.
