[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Astroturf, as in someone from, ohhhh I don't know, maybe CATO or another Koch brothers backing the seemingly grassroots local organization to further RRNJ group-think in a local to DC area to try to peel further support to push VA from blue back to purple. I get that it's a little out there and probably not the case, but it's not all that far fetched. I'm not saying it's Courtney or anyone else from the leaders but I think it's safe to say that the hard core Rs in the group (pretty much at least 80% of those that are active) at least enjoy getting a rise out of the liberals.

It's not far-fetched. National Republican leaders openly talk about this as being their path back to the presidency and House/Senate majorities.

"Seizing on education as a newly potent wedge issue, Republicans have moved to galvanize crucial groups of voters around what the party calls “parental rights” issues in public schools, a hodgepodge of conservative causes ranging from eradicating mask mandates to demanding changes to the way children are taught about racism."

"Along with discouraging masks, Good claimed that masks are ineffective and that coronavirus vaccines are more dangerous for teenagers than the virus itself."

I know that not everyone who wants to eliminate the mask mandate is a secret Republican operative, but there's no question that Republican operatives are stoking the issue in an attempt to sow division and discontent. Dig deeply into who exactly is pushing the anti-mask and anti-vaccine memes you see on Facebook, for example.[/quote]
