The man became persona non grata simply because he stated the basic fact that the evidence didn't back up Trump's claims on hydroxychloroquine.

Everything after became a diarrhea shart of misinformation, conspiracy theories and idiocy.

Well you see, Fauci uses facts and logic in conjunction with science. The GOP doesn't like those things.

They hate science, they hate scientists, they hate intellectuals, they hate expertise. Primarily because all of those things call their world-views into question.

It's mind blowing to me, seriously

Watching people like Sen Jim Jordan pompously asking Fauci "when will we be free of this tyranny?" as if having to behave like a responsible adult is the single most excruciating thing he's ever faced in his life, or that Fauci is doing anything other than giving expert recommendations.

You aren't allowed to question Dear Leader

I remember the exact moment Fauci made himself a target. Trump openly suggested that maybe we use flu vaccines for covid and Fauci laughed it off.

Watching the GOP bitch about masks and vaccines is like watching a toddler bitch about throwing up on a plate because they refused to chew their food.

They gallivanted around having giant-ass rallies in the middle of a surging pandemic, deliberately promoting anti-mask rhetoric, then act surprised when October rolled around and COVID-19 utterly wrecked the country. Then, instead of getting mad at themselves for causing it, they got mad at the experts who warned them it would happen.

I remember last year where I made a topic about how right wingers were calling the pandemic fake news or overexaggerated. I started getting replies saying, "left wingers are saying the same thing as well.". Then I challenged those same people to name me any prominent left leaning politician or influencer calling the pandemic fake news or overexaggerated. My challenge was conveniently ignored. Its sad that even in 2021, a lot of right wingers are still peddling this nonsense.

The republican party has become the the party of conspiracy theories.

Nothing a conspiracy theorist hates more than an actual intellectual and actual experts. They dash their fantasies.

Right wingers will die on the "science doesn't have all the answers" hill while providing no better (or even coherent) solutions

The irony is that if they did provide a coherent solution we would just call that science.

Anyway, this is the cornerstone of right wing ideology. Find a gap in a good hypothesis, use it rhetorically to tear down the entire theory, replace it with the spaghetti monster.

It's been really surreal watching the GOP turn him into a celebrity and then complain about him being in the public eye so often.

You guys on the right, not the left, created this perceived "cult of personality" by not letting the man exist exclusively as a medical professional but instead trying to attack him personally. And now they complain about it constantly. It's so self-inflicted and weird to me.

I don't understand either. From what I hear, its that he "flip flops" and will say one thing at one point and then say something else later on or that he is the one making up policy and doesn't have enough info to do that.

I don't get it.
