Yes. I told you that: "Vetted experts are a much more reliable source of facts than "ordinary people." People pay them for their expertise"
Did you have a larger point? Did you have a rebuttal to the comment, or just this deflection?
The evangelicals voted for him to criminalize abortion. Those are your one-issue voters.
And I agree with her. You voted for Trump twice? I have the same single issue, but maybe you consider it two issues. Like her and most humanists, I don't approve of either immorality or incompetence in a president, and I don't need to know anything else at all about a person if I know that person finds Trump acceptable.
Sorry if that offends you, but that's how it is. What's really dispiriting is that you're a professional Christian teaching other Christians who believe you have a connection to the source of truth and morality what is true and what is good.
You'd vote for Trump again now in 2024 if you could, right (you can add dementia to immorality and incompetence at governance, and a few mental illnesses to boot: Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy are the
dark triad)? He attacked the United States of America and committed multiple crimes against it, and is likely to have been convicted of a few of them before then, but he'll support your church, and what else really matters, right? Certainly not democracy, the Constitution, egalitarianism, or the rule of law - just your Great Commission, right. That's one issue.
Your son wasn't entitled to his job. Work has to be mutually agreeable. His boss has no duty to keep him on once he won't meet the requirements for the job. Of course, it wasn't coercion. either, nor oppression nor tyranny as many like to call not being able to do whatever they like. Coercion is "the practice of
persuading someone to do something by using force or threats." His boss simply didn't want him on the premises unvaccinated even if he would have been willing to work for free.
And she's right. NOBODY was forced to get vaccines except some minor children who were literally held down and injected against their protestations. Everybody else either took one voluntarily or refused the vaccine.
Now THAT is coercion by the definition above, since the use of force is implied, but even then, people have the freedom to get abortions elsewhere, and they are. People in Missouri are going to Ilinois for their abortions:
"
An island in ‘abortion access desert’ The Fairview Heights clinic – and a partner facility in nearby Granite City, Illinois – expect the number of abortion patients in southern Illinois to double to about 14,000 per year with Roe’s fall."
