Solid Republican voters and solid Democrat voters aren’t going to change their minds. It’s the disgruntled, disillusioned, or just plain apathetic voters who determine elections. Do all that you can to get those (in particular, those who might vote for you if they vote) to get off their asses and vote! ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Lara Logan compares Doctor Fauci to Mengele. Even for a Republican, this is mind-bogglingly stupid. I mean, even if Fauci had been dead wrong and intentionally misleading about everything regarding Covid and the response – which he clearly, demonstrably, empirically has not been – how would that even compare to a genocidal psychopath who performed twisted experiments on concentration camp prisoners? ---

It’s amazing how much Republicans fear Dr. Fauci. She’s complaining about vaccine mandates, as though that’s coming from Dr. Fauci. If only Republicans had any shame or conscience. Or goodness of any sort. ---

> [@bobot](#): > > It’s amazing how much Republicans fear Dr. Fauci. Did you see the one where he is on video talking about introducing HIV into vulnerable populations? This criminal mastermind who deliberately infected people with HIV got caught out by a Tik Tok’er who uncovered secret video of Fauci giving a lecture to the NIH about AIDS where he says, essentially “when you introduce a sexually transmitted disease into these populations, it spreads rapidly”. SEE??? He admitted to introducing it to these populations! I suppose I could try to find the video, but it’s not really worth it. ---

Well, according to the Yenor, independent working women are “more medicated, meddlesome, and quarrelsome than women need to be.” How “medicated, meddlesome, and quarrelsome” do women need to be?
