    This was probably the general thinking before everything went batshit crazy among Republicans realized they could appeal to their voters by going mask-off.

      That’s true to some degree, but they were not all always crazy.
      Although I disagree with for instance McCain (deceased) and Mitt Romney may wear magic underwear, so he obviously is a bit crazy, they were not completely insane. Like numerous all of the MAGA crowd.

        I wonder how much Republican politicians actually believe in the shit they say vs how much of it is just to please the small-minded bigots. They seem to oppose the left on every single issue, no matter how trivial.
