Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) on Tuesday asked people on Twitter to name “one thing you’re grateful for today,” and immediately got an overwhelming number of mocking and withering responses.
Gratitude has been a difficulty in the last year.

All of us have faced challenges being limited by draconian restrictions.
I am grateful for the chance to serve my nation & grateful in knowing strength is developed in adversity.
What’s one thing you’re grateful for today?
Critics hit back at the QAnon-endorsing first-term lawmaker, who was backed by then-President Donald Trump during her 2020 campaign.
Many said they were grateful for Trump’s election loss.
Others expressed hope that Boebert, who sparked controversy last week when she concluded an ad attacking Democrats with the sound of a gun being fired and then reloaded, would only enjoy one term in Congress.
Donald Trump being removed from power.

Draconian wasn't in the GED was it? Draconian is telling people who they can marry, what sex they are, and controlling their medical decisions. Wearing a tiny piece of fabric on your face to prevent death isn't draconian.

I’m grateful we elected Biden as President so we could finally get this pandemic under control. And I’m grateful you will be a one term congresswoman.

I'm grateful that Trump is no longer president and that Republicans are falling apart at the seams.
