I don't agree with Lindell's view of the election, but he certainly has paid a steep price for it.
Mike Lindell is a private citizen who used his platform and resources to discuss the 2020 Election. He held symposiums where he presented his theories. Whether you agree or not, that’s up to you. But no American should be intimidated or targeted by the FBI for expressing opinion.

A deeper commitment to heterosexuality involves learning to value women for all the ways they are different. As an example, I would say many men (including me) become more heterosexual (in this sense) through the process of parenting.

Saying "I represent science" is a bit like a religious leader claiming to represent God. The temptation to claim the greater authority while not acknowledging one's mistakes is ever present.
Problem with Fauci's "I represent science" isn't that he represents expertise or has been wrong, but that he (1) has often been wrong about judgment calls without a scientific basis & (2) persistently acts like a spinning politician in refusing to acknowledge errors & flip flops.
