The White House took too long to offer free Covid-19 tests and masks. It shouldn’t stop there
doomed by the Democratic party’s political incompetence and the hostility of the fascists across the aisle
. It’s unclear where the Democratic aversion to taking credit for things came from, but as gauche as it sounds they could stand to learn a few things from Donald Trump. If the president wants to send people a mask that could keep them safe, a test that could save a family member, or a check that pays next month’s rent, they should feel free to slap whatever star-spangled branding on it they want.
Critics will reduce this strategy, as they did with Trump, to crude bribery. And so what? Maybe a little “bribery” is good, if it’s coming from a body that has a constitutional and moral duty to provide for the people it governs. In the third year of a deadly pandemic, it’s absurd that the American people haven’t gotten more out of the organization designed to provide for them. We should have had universal free masks and tests years ago. Anything we get now might be too little and too late.
