Yeah, I am one of those who prefer standard time as well. Here is a link that shows how harmful daylight savings time is to our health. There is a lot of research into this topic, this article just summarizes some of it.

All of these new election laws that have passed will come in to play in 2024. Many states now give legislatures power over how votes are counted. The Republicans are hoping to get in enough election deniers in legislatures and secretary of states offices in 2022 so that they can manipulate the count and do so legally in 2024. So if the GQP gains power this cycle, they will never give it back.The laws in many states allow legislatures to cheat if bad actors are in place. The courts will not be able to do anything because those are the state laws. Also, expect more voter suppression laws to pass with even more GQP in office. This is not tin foil...this is real..and how autocracies are born. This is how it started in Hungary with Orban.

Yes, that emphasizes a key problem with Fung's candidacy. Even if you bought into the "Fung is moderate and harmless" argument, which I do not, his weakness is his inability to stand up to the nefarious forces of the contemporary GQP. He would sell democracy and human rights to the devil for a tax cut for the wealthy.
