Stevenson’s army, March 7

– Why are centrists losing?
– Why are Latino men trending Republican?
– Is now like the politics of the Gilded Age, when parties were strong but identity-based rather than class based? [I was shocked to learn that in the elections of 1880 and 1888 turnout was over 80%]
– NYT discovers that US stockpile was short of masks and ventilators because officials prioritized anthrax vaccine in response to clever lobbying.
