Opinion by Greg Sargent: The “Tennessee 3” saga highlights the GOP retreat into Fortress MAGA
If the adage was “all politics is local,” we can now say that “all local politics is in danger of going viral.” And the more onerous the use of state power in these situations, the more attention it gets.

As commentator, Republicans both “look horrible” and have turned the Tennessee 3 into national “superstars.” This sort of thing only perpetuates youthful awareness of — and resistance to — ongoing GOP radicalization. Young voters often get their political news through this sort of viral circulation. All this will surely color their perceptions of the national GOP.
