What Crisis First?

 According to the Republicans and right wing media we are in the midst of multiple crises right now.  They sai so at a press onference.

Now to be clear a crisis is effectively  a do ot die thing, solve it or face dire consequences.  They listed all sorts of crises including the border, inflation, critical race theory, the origin of covid, etc. etc.

To be honest I didn't see a real crisis anywhere.  There are issues in this country such as crumbling infrastructure that need to be addressed.  Whether its at the crisis level is uncertain.  Climate Change is a Worldwide crisis but many Republicans don't want to address it because it clashes with some of their donors. 

Is there a crisis at the border?  It seems to be pretty much the same situation we have faced for years and hardly a crisis for the country, more so for the immigrants/refugees looking for a better life.

We are coming out of the Covid crisis adn the economy is starting to recover.  Covid is not over and it is likely that there will be a surge among unvaccinated people as new variants spread.  Let's hope it isn't too bad or too deadly.

Just not sure they are going to convince too many people of all these crises.
