What disgusting, ghoulish behavior. The way political polarization seems to strip people of their basic human empathy makes me want to weep for us all.

Absolutely. We must never forget our common humanity.

thanks for caring, so many mean things go by like this and it may seem small in the overall scheme of things, but the truth is that it matters

it struck me that we had a close friend die in her 50's, just woke up dead one morning, and we never knew for certain why but we never considered an autopsy

I agree that Waxman's behaviour is awful, but I'm not completely sure that she's a lost cause. In that final tweet, she stated that WE all went bonkers during the pandemic. While I don't think Waxman will ever concede that conservatives were right on certain COVID related topics, she might confess that the tone leftists used was unhelpful.
