For republicans thinking it is ok to mock Gus Walz: [View all]

Do these people think that only democrats have children who are neurodivergent and who cope with learning disabilities? Do they really think displaying their cruelty and lack of decency is a good strategy?
Millions of republicans also have families with members who have learning disabilities and challenges.
One might think they would consider that such vile attacks on a 17 year old teenager might actually serve to alienate at least some voters. Maybe most republicans are so deep in the MAGA cult that they will make excuses. But it only takes a handful of votes in each precinct to flip a state.
