    I don’t think that it’s right for the leadership, especially Republican leadership, that prides itself on being pro-family, to be so anti-family,

    It’s “he’s not hurting the right people”, all over again.

    Just why is it that qons are so obsessed with things being in-person, even when they absolutely do not need to be?

      Conservatives only trust things they can see. If it can’t be seen directly with the naked eye in real time it is a conspiracy or imaginary.

      It’s why things like vaccines don’t seem real to them. They can see the needle and the injection but what happens afterwards is an unknowable, untrustworthy thing.

      It’s also why MAGA had such a hard time processing Biden’s win. Saying things like, “he didn’t even hold that many rallies” or “attendance at his rallies were low!” Because to them, a physical presence is necessary to convince anyone that someone is serious about winning their votes (or even real).

      Since anything unseen is scary to them it’s easy to point the finger at people they don’t see very often and say, “they’re the ones responsible for your troubles!”

    Now can she apply this lesson to other aspects of life? It says she’s freedom caucus so I’m not terribly optimistic.
