Some of us turned ourselves inside out to try to warn elected Dems about this and got blown off and called names like "Blue Anon" by Very Important People for our pains. And this is what you reap when you sow hubris.
It is enormously frustrating to know, as an evolutionary biologist with experience from the trenches of the creationist wars on science, that nobody on Biden’s team nor CNN’s seem to be aware of the Gish Gallop, 30y after Eugenie Scott described it and years of Trump deploying it!

I'll never forget the presentation I made for local Dems who talked right through it - and it was on zoom. They didn't even bother to mute their mics. Then they made me wrap up early. I was so humiliated I cried (after it was over)
