Is it wrong to get some satisfaction from knowing Republicans like Romney and Cheney are troubled by their party too? It's about time! Communities of color have long suffered and endured the hateful people Mitt and Liz are now forced to acknowledge. Jesus, I hope they are embarrassed; they ought to be.

As an American, I am ashamed of the racist bastards. Putting up with them is part of the price we have to pay to have a democracy.

I rather like the hats, flags and kitsch; I know which businesses and whom to avoid.  I stopped wasting time arguing with them, but that doesn't mean I'm not in the fight.

Our citizens who have been subsumed by the cult that Trump built (and that the oligarchs love to exploit) are driven by hate and intolerance, and are unlikely to ever understand the true purpose of our government. Since it would take some serious deprogramming to get them to recognize actual fact and evidence, it’s doubtful that they will change any time soon. Thomas Paine observed that trying to convince such citizens to use their critical thinking skills is futile, because “To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.” Even if it’s Hydroxychloroquine.

That last bit is worthy of a nice loud BAZINGA! Feel free.

Why are Republicans so anxious to shutdown any Covid safety precautions, such as wearing a mask. Do they not read about India? Or Brazil. New Variants are all over the USA, including my county. The commissioners of my county have shut down any restrictions. Ignoring State requirements. All of FL just went to no restrictions. Less than a third of the nation is vaccinated. New variants are hitting the young. Wish there was a statistic that compared Republican vs Democrats for the virus.

If Tucker Carlson is going to speak out against COVID vaccine. He should be required to divulge if he and his family have been vaccinated. All of Fox News should be required. Truth in opinion reporting.

More of Fox (so called) News brainwashing its audience. From now on the insurance companies and Medicare should not pay for any Covid related cases if the claimant has not had the Vaccine.
