He's mocking everyone, all the time. Those that think he's on their side, with the exception of a handful of issues he's super passionate about, don't realize they are being mocked, or enjoy that form of entertainment.

He is also using a persuasion strategy that essentially goes "I'm in complete agreement with everything you said, now here's where you're wrong".

One bit of mocking was saying how we need a "Dumb Davos". I don't know what a Davos is, but Scott explained it's where a bunch of intelligent and influential people gather to strategize about improving future outcomes. "If all the educated college graduates were taking the vaccine and were wrong, then we need a Dumb Davos where people who were right all along gather and educate everyone how to be right all along".

I'm entirely uninterested in people's decision to vaccinate or not, but the whole discussion misses the important part; that politicians have no business manipulating the free decision to take or not take it. Furthermore, asking about vaccination status is a HIPAA violation. Since when do we get to ignore the law?

While one side is calling the other dumb and cowardly, we let the politicians off the hook.
