(66,462 posts)I keep hearing stories in the media about MAGAts dying in the ICUs and begging their doctors for the vaccine, moronically oblivious to the fact that the vaccines are intended to prevent infection, not treat it.
I'm so over these wastes of human protoplasm...

Or just maybe they could be like the neighborhood kids who like to flip me off and call me a cunt when I drive down street while they are making skateboard tiktok videos. Kids love flipping people off nowadays. So precious!

(15,320 posts)because flipping off President Biden is not the same as flipping off a bunch of anti-maskers harassing your school. No shocking revelation of hypocrisy, here.

(58,785 posts)a disapproving finger like an old schoolmarm at demonstrators on the street will get it across better. But sometimes I've slipped.
We pass a lot more of this in purple Florida than in our deep-red Georgia county, and I assume it's the presence of the enemy that incites them to battle.

(58,785 posts)A lot of these demonstrators smile and wave at anyone looking their way, assuming approval they deserve and of course trying to whomp up support. So however you use the fingers, the message does get across.

(20,587 posts)Is their point that the students should remove their masks? A new level of crazy over this issue. But then again, two women, one masked and one not) fist fighting in Costco yesterday is another level too.
