The PBS Newshour commentators tonight mentioned three of these great defeats tonight. They ended up admitting that they could provide no optimism.
Michael Gerson mentioned the decline of science and truth, saying that rejection of expertise and discernment of truth has hampered our attempts to deal with climate change, and this denialism has now been extended to the covid crisis and vaccines. This war against truth, which former Republican Gerson attributed largely to Republicans, is definitely an attack on America, like the one in 9-11 by Al Qaeda that we could now face again-- and which the attackers of truth also deny.
