I’ve met some WS who weren’t outspoken about their beliefs, they were “smart” enough to not talk about their views when there would be obivous consequence, i.e work, family, partner, etc. Insidious blighters!

People like Joann are too comfortable being their worst selves, they don’t deserve to be in office or in any position of power.
