    Default The Stupid Is Killing Us

    Amid rising COVID cases, falling vaccination rates and a persistent flood of crackpot hogwash a timid media terms "misinformation" - WE WILL NOT COMPLY! - its bone-headed perpetrators just keep spewing even when, as experts predict, by fall the surging Delta variant could kill 850 of their own irredeemable peeps a day in what has become "a pandemic of the unvaccinated." In Alabama, which has the country's lowest vaccination rate, a doctor describes seeing young people dying. “One of the last things they do before they’re intubated is beg me for the vaccine," she says. "I hold their hand and tell them that I’m sorry, but it’s too late.” Still, the idiot masses head out to protest hospitals requiring vaccines for employees with balmy signs like "Medical Dictatorship," "I Call My Own Shots," "No to Socialism," and "Remember the Nuremberg Code." Umm. They probably eat up Marjorie Taylor-Greene's online rants - COVID is a bioweapon, STOP MASKING CHILDREN!, Indict Pelosi! - or they did until she got suspended for saying vaccines don't work and COVID poses no threat to anyone under 65 and not obese, even as cases in Georgia are up 193%. She was so mad at "COMMUNIST TWITTER" she held a presser where she refused to say if she'd been vaccinated, claimed the question "is a violation of my HIPAA rights" - not - and

    The only emotions we can use to get through to the knuckleheaded Reichtards are anger and hate. They don't respond to anything else. Hence Trump.

    Because he continues to influence a wide swath of the voters, who actually believe the bullshit he slings. That make him incredibly dangerous. He remains the single biggest threat to Democracy. Not a chance I will ignore him. They aren't.

    It would be if the gross orange corruption would just fade away. Instead, he's still holding the QOP in thrall, still holding Nuremberg rallies, and still claiming that he really won. #TRE45ON is a clear and present danger to this country.

    Dude, only the Trump Dick Suckers get heartburn whenever anyone says something negative against Trump.

    Do you think the militias will attack Roger Stone for Trump's betrayal? Rudy? Don Jr?

    So what should we sane people do? Stop talking about Trump? A man who held a rally where he got applause for suggesting locking up public officials? Where a traitor got a standing ovation? Ignore it and hope it goes away? It won't. I for one intend to shout down these fucking morons until Trump is dead or in jail. And then shout them down some more. You think polite is the answer? I don't.

    Maybe I read too much Dale Carnegie as a kid but I find it difficult to believe that would be an effective technique. (The Atlantic has a good article out about the various reasons different people, from all walks of life, haven't gotten the vaccination. Just to me, screaming at them and calling them names isn't likely to going to change their position.)

    I’m at a loss. I believe this is a cult. The things they believe are so bizarre and fantastic that I can’t believe a thinking person could buy into it. Microchips? Poison vaccines? Ballot eating chickens? Fauci as some evil overlord? How do you actually believe this stuff and how do I overcome it. They appear to consider ignorance as a badge of honor. They want to shove their ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ flags down our throats. If ‘the libs’ say black they say white. How exactly do we break through that? I have basically given up. I just want to mitigate the damage these idiots are doing but right now the damage is massive. They are destroying the country from voting rights to the economy to public health. You can’t reach people who would literally kill you if they could. It’s not possible. And believe me they would kill you. I’m not exaggerating.

    Here's the Atlantic article. Not everyone who is unvaccinated is a Trump supporter. When we try to lump everyone and everything into political partisanship it becomes far less ineffective imo because tribalism trumps all.



    America Is Getting Unvaccinated People All Wrong

    They’re not all anti-vaxxers, and treating them as such is making things worse.
