Nationally, a study by Yale researchers determined that “the excess [COVID] death rate among Republican voters was 43% higher than the excess death rate among Democratic voters.”

They are literally being deceived to death.

      If you squint and slightly misinterpret it, Darwin says stupid will fix itself eventually.

      You just have to not save it at the last second.

        Unfortunately they compromise herd immunity for the people who can’t get vaccinated for legitimate reasons, so they’re intent on taking a few of us with them.

          Unfortunately, my wife’s niece has leukemia and as such doesn’t really have her own immune system, so not only can she not get the vaccine, she would almost definitely die if she got covid.

          When we got married, we decided masks on for the event, and that made our first choice maid of honor to flip her shit on us about how we’re not kuzzling her, and called us sheep. Then she got a face tattoo.

          A few of her family members decided to no longer speak to us over masks, even though they KNOW her family and know her niece is immunocompromised.

            Damn. She’s definitely committed to……something, I guess? What was the face tattoo of, and does she have a job? Just curious how that’s working out for her.

              It was baffling, apparently she got some kind of dagger.

              She started an OF apparently and I guess recently got a job at an Amazon warehouse, my wife sees updares on social media but they don’t talk anymore.

                Huh. Interesting character for sure. Well, congrats on the marriage, & thank you for mandating masks through all of that.

        Not much short of magic is going to stop climate collapse at this point, so I think we’re good on that front. Hopefully it gets us all, this whole mess will only start over if it doesn’t.
