Even though Republicans are doing everything they can to undercut a popular COVID-19 relief bill, I think Republicans do have an advantage in that they can simply default to racism and scapegoat women and minorities while also rolling back voting access in time for 2022.
For example, watch in Texas as Republicans whose anti-regulatory views proved disastrous, are being aided by Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN who are blaming AOC, a minority woman for windmills and the Green New Deal even though it has not been adopted for the blackouts. Heck, even Ted Cruz is able to avoid responsibility by blaming his daughter, a latina female, for his trip to Cancun.
