I dont think you realize how unpopular the masks and lockdowns are among people. Especially when it comes to kids being masked.

I believe the platform for the right has consolidated to - ending mask/lockdown/mandate - letting parents have a voice in their children's school agendas - making fun of runaway inflation

This is going to be difficult to run against, in many states besides "Mississippi".

Eye opening for sure. I just thought these people were merely "loud but a tiny minority"-- a handful of trolls and professional victims performing for YouTube. All those wacky people ranting at School Board meetings make great Internet entertainment, but surely there weren't significant numbers of them. I guess I need to get out more. Can't believe being against public health has actually become a legit, winnable political platform. All over a little piece of cloth. Unbelievable.

Because masks and lockdowns go against their interests, and they oppose people like you mandating these policies on them. It's just that simple.

And the numbers of these people is much much larger than you're aware of, likely for reasons of media bias hiding this information from you and geographic diversity of political views and values.

And the chilling effect of socially shaming people as "plague rats" for resisting lockdowns and mandates.

South Jersey and suburbs all over the state are just as conservative as places to the south or west of it. The CRT moral panic successfully mobilized a lot of suburban voters to get involved in local politics.

It's a predicament when someone who has different politics than you gets elected? Are you saying that you've just solved politics then? Should you be our king?
