In the civil rights era, they smeared leaders as “communist” to break their credibility and stall their momentum. It was the easiest way to silence dissent and turn justice movements into supposed security threats.

TBF, it's not that Republicans haven't been able to come up with a replacement; they haven't tried. They're not interested in improving the ACA, they want to eliminate it. They genuinely don't think Americans deserve healthcare unless they're rich, and the insurance companies can continue to profit.
“Lots of people will actually die,” @zekeemanuel.bsky.social warns now that Obamacare subsidies are set to expire at the end of the year. “Republicans have had 15 years since the passage of the [ACA] and haven’t come up with a replacement.” #Velshi
‘Lots of people will actually die’: Health expert outlines consequences of letting ACA subsidies expire
The government reopened this week without a deal to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, which has alarmed health care experts across the nation. “Lots of people will actually die because we don’t have universal coverage,” said University of Pennsylvania professor and former White House Health Policy Adviser Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel. “Republicans have had 15 years since the passage of the Affordable Care Act and haven’t come up with a replacement…As president Trump famously says, he has concepts of ideas, concepts of a plan, that’s not a plan.”

Anne Applebaum as usual on the mark. I would add: most elected Republicans quietly fold the millisecond this happens to them. So in speaking up MTG is GOP unusual.
Just in the past 3 days, I happened to speak to an academic, a US politician and a former Biden official who had all received death threats and severe harassment from the MAGA movement. It's now a common experience. I am sorry MTG has to live through the same thing, but she can't be surprised
MTG: “.. “I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world. .. The man I supported and helped get elected.”

Stopped in the Rockwell museum in western Mass a few years ago. Surprisingly great.
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.
