If I'd only seen the hearings (and it's still a mystery to me why he did the right thing in that regard) I'd have a good impression of Johnson. But I know he's otherwise just a grifter like the great majority in Congress. Have the Republicans made any attempt to prevent the Democrats' horrific handling of COVID? Will anything change if they get back into power? Will Fauci be fired (if COVID doesn't do us all a favor regarding him)? Will the FDA be rendered less corrupt? I think you know the answers to all these questions.
I think maybe his heart is in the right place but he's got some other positions that are problematic and not completely thought out.
Like the voter ID thing for example. Look into it. It's probably a Trojan horse for a vaccine passport system.
And I don't know if he's one of those extremely pro-life Republicans... but when it comes to vaccine mandates and pregnancy mandates it's hypocritical to be in favor of one and against the other. If you force people to carry their fetus to term, or to surrender the sovereignty of their own immune system on behalf of the immunocompromised, then you can also force them to donate their organs without permission... or maybe even force them to get an abortion... or get sterilized (Buck v. Bell was never overturned; it was justified by Jacobsen v. Massachusetts)

The more we vote, the worse things get. But I think Johnson is the only one worth a damn.
Primaries first and foremost, based on political awareness. Probably too much to expect from American voters.
