I continue to hope that cooler heads will ultimately prevail in the long run and that most people are more reasonable than seems to be the case today with all of the vitriolic rhetoric being tossed out by the reactionary right. But I don’t know. It is amazing to me that people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert and Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott and Donald Trump still have so many followers and such adoration. Don’t these people see them for the ignorant hateful bigots they really are who do nothing for their base or for the country as a whole?
