I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking.

There's a reason the default GOP response always looks like Nazi-ism.
This is also why you can't just run an election on healthcare costs and hope they don't bring up immigration. You have to fight them on immigration because they inject this Nazi shit into everything.

Things climate scientists should not have to say:
A thermometer reading doesn’t depend on how you vote.
No, those jets are not spewing mind control exhaust.
Yes, an oil exec really does make a lot more than we do.
And no, it’s not volcanoes, natural cycles, or the sun. We really have checked.

Every President who has been impeached or had a serious threat of it has lost the next election or his party has.
There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.
