One possible silver lining is how many people, having never met a master bureaucrat operating at God-level, take a long time to realize what a slippery continuously calibrating eel of a man Fauci is. At this point in his life he makes it look easy b/c it’s all 2nd nature now.
These types constantly lie undetected by normal people, saying whatever they need to without any qualms. They can change in plain sight with absolute conviction since they have no shame and have long since lost the ability to comprehend why others would object.
Fauci doesn’t need to plot and plan and think through his rhetoric as a normal person would assume. He just does what he does by well-honed instinct, reading the scene as if by radar or the way an electric eel senses its surroundings and reacting accordingly.
Such a person can change in plain sight with absolute conviction because no conviction is involved. Their actions transcend it. And thus all the usual signs normal, decent people evaluate that usually reveal something is amiss are unavailable. The swamp evolves such creatures.
In their lives they (relatively quickly) devolve to the point where one honed thing matters: survival/keeping their position. It’s not even that he’s trying to fool people as that word implies wisdom, knowledge, excellence, purpose, and moral rectitude.
He operates in a completely different framework than one in which people are “fooled” or “enlightened”...lol...Like a species that evolved in a cave over millions of years. It’s amazing. He’s just continually gauging and reacting, incapable of anything else.
