Political Parrots

If there are any Democrats out there who think for themselves, I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting them. In fact, every Democrat I speak with says all the same things as the rest of them, which I find an odd coincidence at best. 

Meanwhile, the Republicans I know are all over the place. Some support one thing and not another. Most find Trump abhorrent, while admitting that things were better in this country while he was president. Every single one of them is vaccinated, most have gotten the booster, and wear masks in public.

Yet writers like Dana Milbank of the Washington Post insist on tarring all Republicans with the same brush. His column today spews the usual poison, all because ex-Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin gave a speech somewhere saying she would not get the vaccine under any circumstances.

Nobody I know turns to Sarah Palin for advice. Or, for that matter, Dana Milbank.
