Republicans Are Dying From COVID At An Alarming Rate

Note: ROF'S TITLE, NOT MINE!



Well, since Dems are alleged by the wingnuts to be elitist, pointy-headed snobs who think we're better and smarter than Real Mercans, I think we should take this opportunity to prove them wrong! Let's not impose what they deem "tyrannical" health protection measures on them! Let's not apply mandates or legislation that would infringe in any way on THEIR LIBERTY!!! Let's just make sure we are doing all the right things, and let Nature take its course!

... I'm not alarmed either. It's expected and, dare-I-say, there's also a bit of schadenfreude as well. Natural selection. Survival of the fittest and smartest... extinction of those who cannot or will not adapt, and who make bad choices.

Some Vax believers are so fed up with the repubs, not sure Alarmed in the proper term for our feelings. Callus but damnit, they are willing to die for trump/Fox just to own us. And gleeful to infect and kill us.

and same with swing districts. I hope Dems have a good turnout in 2022 so we can get enough solid Dem senators to balance out our 2 flaky ones.

I stand with Kirk on this, but I would go further.

Unvaccinated people who get COVID-19 at this point are guilty of attempted manslaughter and biological terrorism. Their decision or choice in my eyes is one of two options - self-quarantine (TOTAL removal from society until the pandemic is over) or vaccination to remain in the social contract. ANYTHING else is unacceptable and grounds for incarceration and loss of all rights and privileges as a citizen in good standing - including the right to vote. They do not get to choose whether or not to continue an unregulated, unmanageable biological experiment with the risk being additional variants that eventually WILL evade the vaccines and put all of us at risk again for even worse strains and variants.

If unvaccinated people show up at a hospital for treatment, unless there are free beds to house their carcasses, they should be confined to enclosed tents in the parking lots. The staff in these tents should consist entirely of Anti-Vax volunteers and clergy. Maybe they can pray away the 'vid or wishful think their way back to health.

Fuck these cretins. Let them die indeed.

Oops, did I just use my public voice? Fuck it. Who cares? I'm totally out of sympathy for these selfish assholes as we head into year THREE of the pandemic.
