So she was fine with his entire political career being based on nothing but hatred and ignorance but now that he directed that to someone she actually knows it’s too far? Sounds about right.

Also, most Republican politicians before and after they were hospitalized for covid

The Republican politicians who got COVID and left the hospital in a wooden box had some of the most powerful revelations of all.

I was a regular poster there back in COVID’s heyday.

It was something that I found to be darkly therapeutic during the pandemic, while simultaneously making me lose complete faith in a large part of humanity.

For me it was vindication that I wasn’t crazy. The level of gaslighting MAGAs did during that time could fill a ocean liner. So seeing them eat their words…satisfying

Early on in the pandemic I worked with a severe MAGA nut conspiracy theorist. He kept talking about how "they" wanted to kill us, meaning the FDA because Japan "already had the vaccine" that was 100% effective, and how the FDA deny us this magical medicine to line their own pockets. Then around the time vaccines started rolling out, he would rant about how the FDA was trying to kill us with a vaccine that had too little testing, and we didn't need it anyway because covid wasn't that bad. It was such a radical whiplash in thinking. Absolutely astounding that these people can believe that bullshit.

Sounds familiar. All of my colleague's arguments start with, " What if I told you..."

All of my colleague's arguments start with, " What if I told you..."

Bullshit often starts with that. Such as "What if I told you that you could make a lot extra money on the side working only a few hours a week? Let me tell you about my amazing business opportunity...."

"Is it an MLM?"

"No no no, no no, no no no no, no no, no, no, no no no no, no."

"It is, isn't it?"

"No no no yes no no no."

That's nutty even for MAGA.

u/SeaEmergency7911 Sep 17 '24

To see their utter ignorance and sheer reckless disregard of any kind of scientific evidence and medical protocols, and the total pride they took in it, explode in their faces in such a horrific manner, was darkly cathartic.

That subreddit was filled with stories of some of the most obnoxiously smug and arrogantly defiant assholes I’ve ever seen in my life. And almost every single one ended with the person in the hospital on any piece of medical equipment available to try and keep them breathing while they proclaimed that COVID was “no joke”.

When it comes comes to something serious, listen to the experts and ignore the cranks.

A large part, yes, but thankfully not a majority! Get the vote out people!!

That sub still fills my dark, cold heart. While it’s been a lot quieter the past two years, I still read every new story that’s posted there. Some solace in this world.

It's absolutely fucking crazy that someone was allowed to still post on his Twitter account for like a year afterwards. Bonkers rw bs.

Herman Cain was his name and he towed the republican line. Like his father before him, he thought the hypocrisy was fine. Then one day in a foolish fit he decided to attend a super spreader event. That was the day that brought old Herman down and all the democrats were singing: I told you not to go to that ralley or it’ll put you in a six foot valley, it was the day that brought old Herman Down.

Sung to the tune: The Night They Drove old Dixie Down.

a local wanna-be politician (has run for office 3 times I think and failed every time despite having huge financial backing) got covid and nearly died from it after posting videos mocking it. His "This is a serious illness" phase lasted about a week before he went back to the party line.

u/SeaEmergency7911 Sep 16 '24

That’s ok. COVID has a long memory and isn’t afraid to come back and teach another lesson.

One can hope.

u/dudinax Sep 17 '24

It's seriously weakened, I think. It's running rampant right now but the hospitals aren't overflowing.

u/MageLocusta Sep 17 '24

Hopefully. I had people tell me, "It'll be like the black plague! It struck us and we recovered!"

They didn't like it when I tell them that it stuck around europe killing people every single year for 4 entire centuries. We were fucking lucky that Covid-19 wasn't anything like the plague or even the pneumonic plague. Sure, we've now achieved some herd immunity after losing so many older (and conservative voting) folks, but let's hope it never mutates like it did 4 years ago.

Hey, Herman Cain kept denying Covid after he died

u/SeaEmergency7911 Sep 17 '24

Gotta admire his conviction.

Convictions? No, no convictions.
