Is anybody else bothered by these comic book-like heroes-vs.-villains narratives being applied to politics? Public servants, elected and non-, are fallible people like the rest of us, capable of making good and bad choices. But there seems to be a tendency nowadays to paint them as caricatures, like they're personifications of good or evil.
Fauci's public image is a good example of that phenomenon. There has to be some middle ground between demigod and criminal mastermind. Frankly the guy's usually impressed me, although he seems to have a healthy ego -- maybe deservedly so? I'll be interested to see how his reputation fares over the long term. Passions are running so hot right now that it's still too soon to place the pandemic in historical context.
How did I not hear about Fauci prayer candles before? That visual just made my day... bahahahaha

I wonder if we're doing more of this, historically speaking?
Sometimes I stumble across an article or cartoon from the 1800s which are often worse, as high as that bar may be.
Id like to see Fauci charged with war crimes by unleashing Covid plague worldwide & allies
War Crime level Justice
See the numbers for 2020-21 for plague deaths then add vaccines
Faucci should be imprisoned. And how could American 🇺🇸 dollars ever go to China
