Look, of course it does. So everybody knows that Republicans are,
like, you know, <begin uptalk> vermin, varmints, fascists, racists,
bigots, cultists, shamanists, climate change causers, conspiracy
theorists, insurrectionists, domestic terrorists, deniers of various
and multiple things that everybody else believes, have numerous
phobias, and are literally Threats To Democracy <end uptalk>.
