I can't find it in me to believe that this is anything but performative pearl-clutching on Bohacek's part used as a reason to do what he wanted to do anyway. I suspect his recent DUI conviction has probably made it look impossible to get re-elected and he's doing what he believes is right outside of party lines or he's just lashing out because the GOP was going to primary him because of the DUI or something like that. The alternative is that he's seriously retarded.

Anyway, here's Bohacek's response to questions on redistricting(?) that started all this:

Many of you have asked my position on redistricting. I have been an unapologetic advocate for people with intellectual disabilities since the birth of my second daughter. Those of you that don't know me or know my family might not know that my daughter has Down Syndrome. This is not the first time our president has used these insulting and derogatory references and his choices of words have consequences. I will be voting NO on redistricting, perhaps he can use the next 10 months to convince voters that his policies and behavior deserve a congressional majority.

No, I didn't skip anything there. I know dems are making hay about the "slur" but the fact that a politician of any kind is deflecting policy questions this blatantly is pretty embarrassing. Both from a standpoint that he could (and did) get away with it, but also how unbelievably lazy and obvious it was as a deflection.

"Jamie, pull up that article about gen z kids raised on iPads not knowing what files and folders are."

I was always skeptical of this but I'm in a discord for a fairly old indie game and someone showed up and wanted to install a music expansion mod to it but couldn't fathom where to put it in the file structure even with images and several people describing. Eventually, after several video examples were made she/they figured out to put a folder full of music in the "music" folder. It is a game that's a portable install so they at least knew how to unzip something.
