Not only that, but so many of them were saying COVID-19 was no worse than the flu and that mask/vaccine mandates and social distancing represented "tyranny". So many of them are now on board with defunding the NIH, NSF, NOAA, etc. There is a rising tide of anti-intellectualism and these people are just plain STUPID. It is not worth the effort to attempt to win the votes of these cretins. That's what I'm saying.
