Yes. But they're not necessarily "in the middle". More than likely they are off to one side.
Washington is not the only state on the west coast doing well.
Some politicians and corporate heads still put green paper above grandma. There are also many who will compel the ordinary worker to work in unsafe conditions while maintaining themselves in an isolation that keeps them safe. They will shunt safe solutions aside, anything to save them their little green pieces of paper. The latest example is getting Trump to finally use his power to establish and guide use of critical resources, not to make testing, PPE, ventilators and other critical medical gear available, but to compel workers into unsafe environments while withhold compulsions to force the corporations to implement safeguards. It becomes about keeping the corporations safe from lawsuits. They can just claim to have followed government orders.
Shunt the solutions off to the side if you want. They ought to be taken seriously. It is typical of a conservative not to seek them out, to seek their green paper, to kill grandma.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
