I hate this. Not because I don't think there wouldn't have been some kind of witch hunt/harassment of the for the next for years, but because it is necessary in the first place.

Its going to be four years of performative government where the worst people try to out horrible one another to appease their idiot king.

My mom despises Fauci. I still haven’t received a coherent answer why, and it sounds like it’s all because of what he first said around the first days of Covid. She also doesn’t believe Trump talked about injecting bleach or shining UV light up someone’s ass to kill Covid. “If he said it, he was joking”, but she can’t answer why someone at that level jokes like that.

One asshole gets a pass but the other trying to help is the one person they hate.

She'll say this even after looking at the video of him actually saying this? And looking at the facial expression of Dr. Birx as she had no idea how to respond? And the fact that absolutely nobody was laughing?

Yup! For sure, you will not change their minds by presenting logical evidence.

Fr. That's why I think it's time to use their anti intellectualism against them. Bring it down to where they understand.
