It’s not always easy to keep up with the Republicans’ evolving positions.
For the past century, they told everyone that it was none of the government’s business what people choose to eat. Now it suddenly is.
It does have a whiff of trying to mold the citizenry towards a physical ideal. Fitter, happier, more masculine energy.
My favorite is the matrix-like maneuvering about taxes. Now excise taxes and tariffs are cool. But "death tax", income tax, social security tax -- that's communist.
