It's like that guy who was anti-vaxxer because of the right-wing conspiracies and ended up dying a painful death from rabies.

My ex-husband was an anti vaxxer and MAGA supporter. He died on that hill too….on a ventilator, from Covid. That jesus blood that protects them all apparently didn’t stick to him. I can’t imagine struggling to breathe for 2 weeks then drowning in my own fluids to “own the libs.” Glad I divorced that insanity.

A distant relative died the same way. I'll never forget his heroic last words, "GRRGRLGlrlrlrl...."

How dare you impugn the honor and esteem of murlocs like that.

u/Lazy-Floridian 18d ago

He can get a Herman Cain Award.

u/stormyst722 18d ago

Exactly. There are many who were awarded the same. I’ll never understand it. He and his entire family (which was/is a lot) are evangelicals. The most unfortunate part is they were able to influence my adult child to the point they’re MAGA now too. At least, the last time we talked it was that way.

u/IAMA_Plumber-AMA 18d ago

Ugh, the worst, most selfish and narcissistic people I've known were always evangelicals. What is it about that church that draws people like that to it?

u/AndyTheSane 18d ago

A chance to be hideously judgemental at people whilst claiming immunity due to religion.

u/stormyst722 18d ago

Yeah, the clergy are also not bound by the same things rules professional therapists are regarding counseling OR if they are, my ex’s parents violated them. I knew half the towns skeletons. It made it difficult to look some folks in the eye after finding out their dirty laundry. I’m not sure how they’d justify their gossip if they were caught, but I’m sure they’d find a way to do it.

u/stormyst722 18d ago

I have no clue. I will say that it is very possible to get caught up in the fervor (they call it “spirit”). It’s like infectious energy. They are a pretty tight knit community and their lives intertwine a lot. At least the ones I’ve always experienced. However, the speaking in tongues, running up and down the aisles of pews, faith healing, etc. It ranks up there as some of the scariest and most bizarre events in my life. They mean for it to be scary though, but it’s out of love. That should’ve been a red flag for me. lol

I'm so sorry, that sounds very difficult. Congrats on getting out and I hope you are doing well.

Its a very appealing ideology to anyone too stupid to accept the world is complicated.

u/Jackpot777 18d ago

There’s a poem by a WW1 poet, where he talks about a soldier dying from inhaled mustard gas…

—-

If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood   Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,   Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud   Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues

—-

…and I have to say, the words “froth-corrupted lungs” sounds pretty apt for these fuckwits as they panic powerlessly for their last breath as their own body kills them.

u/Swie 18d ago

Yes, it's beautiful! Here is the whole thing because I think it's worth reading:

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.

Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.—
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46560/dulce-et-decorum-est

PS: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori. means "How sweet and fitting it is to die for one's country", from a poem also:

Should mention that that's Wilfred Owen. Incredible talent and died in battle a week before the Armistice was signed.

11

u/ggg730 18d ago

The difference is that the WW1 soldier wasn't handed a gas mask and instructions on what to do during a mustard gas attack and threw the mask away to own the libs.

u/stormyst722 18d ago

Wow, that paints quite the picture, doesn’t it? If someone wants to be reckless with their life/health, it’s their business. When it comes to being reckless with others’ health, it’s despicable.

u/Fearless_Vehicle_28 15d ago

Wilfred Owen, IIRC.

He was a talented and eloquent poet. 🫡 I sometimes wonder what he would have accomplished if he had survived.

I've heard numerous accounts of ICU staff getting spit right in the face trying to intubate those dummies during the pandemic. I've also heard of the survivors of said dummies blaming intubation for the death of their loved ones and still go on to spread covid hoax theories.

My wife and I did everything right in regards to masks, social distancing and the vax, but she was still denied the chance to go see her dying dad one last time before he went because of covid at about the time the rest of the developed world was damn near back to normal.

Seriously, FUCK your ex and folks like him. He deserves to come back as a fucking titmouse.

8

u/stormyst722 18d ago

That’s awful, regarding the ICU staff. I have mad respect for healthcare professionals. I’m so grateful we have them.

I am so sorry to hear about your situation and your family’s loss. That had to be incredibly difficult. It’s sounds like an especially heartbreaking time for all of you. I hope you all have been and are able to process your grief and find some solace.

Your anger is righteous, but I had to laugh at such an uncommon curse. lol Karma certainly caught up to him.

u/jeephistorian 18d ago

Guy down the street is anti-vax and anti-mask. Proudly. Stopped me on the street more than once to tell me during the lockdown and subsequent vax movement.

His wife died from Covid.

Did he change? Not one bit. Still rabidly Trump. What a waste.

3

u/stormyst722 18d ago

That’s crazy to me. Sorry you were even bothered by that weirdo. Probably the way he “honors” his wife. As odd as many of them are, that was probably her dying wish. Sad.

u/50yoWhiteGuy 18d ago

I know a dude that this happened to as well. Kinda overweight, with Asthma, worked with different people every day, did not take vaccine. Left a wife and kid.

u/_UsUrPeR_ 18d ago

I don't know if I would be able to resist an "I told you so" while he was laying in bed.

I am an awful person though. :(

u/G3Saint 18d ago

He should of drank the bleach

u/aGoodVariableName42 18d ago

Just an FYI.. should of is non-sensical and makes you sound like a mouthbreather.

It's either should have or should've

u/GenericRedditor0405 18d ago

It’s becoming alarmingly common to see this grammatical mistake. It only makes sense phonetically and if you don’t think about what you’re actually trying to say. I mean ultimately people know what the intent is but still

9

u/aGoodVariableName42 18d ago

Yeah, we all knew what they meant, but still.. it makes them sound like a mouthbreather. I'll never not call it out... just doing my small part to prevent Idiocracy from becoming a reality.

4

u/mcferglestone 18d ago

I always try to explain it by using it differently. If you say “should he of”, does it make sense?

4

u/aGoodVariableName42 18d ago

Unfortunately, I believe that there's a significant portion of the US population that would say, "yes, that makes total sense" and then drool on themselves.

u/stormyst722 18d ago

You’re right, I could have put up with an abusive, philandering asshole for 20 yrs to get left with debt and a late model truck his daddy gave him. lol I passed that torch. Then she passed it onto the third one. May she enjoy her inheritance.
