    Great song, and there's no mistaking his voice. Saw him at the Music Hall on March 9, 1972.

    blaming minorities and minority groups for problems (especially ones that were often caused by conservatives) is a staple of the GOP.

    Just never get the hypocrisy. It’s always let local governments make their own decisions they understand their needs better and don’t need anyone telling them what to do at the state or federal level.

    Unless it’s property tax limits, mask mandates, don’t allow certain classes or subjects taught in schools, etc. etc.

    What % of the total population are black?

    This brown blame is so easy - the illegal immigrants at the border that all have covid like it's zombie apocalypse. Nevermind it rampant in USA.

    appealing to this small minority within the republican party is going to contribute to their demise. I see many real republicans and the normal base jumping ship and wondering what the hell has happened to their party. If you are still hanging on as a republican at this point the motivations seriously are coming into question.

    The majorie greene type mentality is going to go away hopefully as the republicans either grab their highjacked ship or die all the way.

    Loud blaming the immigrants or black people is so tired I just don't see that being a long term strategy. But it's been one for a good while now for the republicans.

    Short term it gets you people like trump and greene but I just don't see it being a way long term and actually why it's become more fringe. As more people jump off you are left with the crazies ..dudes like mike lindell.

    Guys like dang Patrick get their publicity..maybe it works..I just can't see how it would..I believe some people are tired of it..
    I also know dumbasses who still won't get the vaccine since trump was against it. Maybe they are that dumb and guys like Patrick and Abbott are looking to cobble that fringe into something and hijack the "R" even further..
    Might be funny if it weren't the guys in charge. I can't get over what absolute joker Abbott is. This dude is looking pretty fringe right now out of a movie..
    Getting the vaccine , all hopped up on baby stem cells.. celebrate the Taliban win ! Welcome to republican party august 2021 good one

    I do know a lot of black people that aren’t vaccinated. I also know a **** ton of “freedom fighters” that are not only non vaccinated, they spend all their time on the internet posting propaganda.

    Replace "GOP" with right wing facism. It's literally the universal go to move of all right wing fascists from Hitler to Orban.

    Not a lawyer. but, from what I understand, they temporarily stopped localities from enforcing mask mandates pending their official decision. This sounds like they've reversed that opinion, for now.

    Which school district is banning masks like biden claimed?

    I disagree with banning masks. Schools should allow kids to wear masks should they or their parents choose that.

    Actually, the supreme court ruling allows school districts to mandate mask wearing to protects students and staff. Glad you agree with that, especially in light of the dramatic increases in new cases at local schools. Protecting the health of the kids must always be the most important objective... I am sure you agree.

    Do you think school districts should be allowed to mandate masks?
