650,000+ American civilians are fucking dead. That's basically the amount of soldiers that died in the Civil War from both sides combined.
And they are dead because the president at the time decided to politicize the virus and act like it wasn't a big deal. No other reason.
That's more than WWII by like 200k.
So just fucking stop it.

She should've been banned.
It won't make anyone who listens to her change their minds. They'll continue to self-radicalize, because MTG isn't the cause of it, she's just stoking the flames. Just banning her and removing her from office does nothing in the long term; her public will just find another source for the hate rhetoric they want.

Millenials and Zoomers have had to deal with worse circumstances than any generation since the Great Depression.
Boomers internalizing their incredible privilege as some kind of "norm" is pretty much at the root of nearly every single societal and economic failure that the world is dealing with today. Up to and including the growing threat of anthropogenic climate change.
This thread is a really interesting (and terrifying) breakdown of the chain of weak points that allow disinformation to flourish with a patina of scientific legitimacy--he notes it's been cited elsewhere 22 times according to google scholar: https://pubpeer.com/publications/EB0...A7375C09C83E46

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time. --Frank Wilhoit
I hope Marge gets enough cash and stupidity to abandon her Congressional seat and run for the Senate nomination in 2022 in GA. Because in Georgia, no candidate in Georgia can run for more than one office including that of member of Congress.
They come from high population density, habitat destruction, and global travel. Viruses thrive--and mutate--on physical proximity and opportunity. That's it. Unless there's ANY credible evidence to the contrary--and so far there's not--there's nothing more complicated or sinister about it.

Sure, we should keep researching it, but we also can't pinpoint the origins of HIV or the 1918 flu.

Why is it that whenever I hear her name or see a picture of her, I just get that Cartman song stuck on my mind...?
I'm waiting to hear if there's a dumbass to advocate killing the vaccinated to even up the numbers that GOP voters lost.

I thought by now everyone was supposed to be part of the hive mind. Chipped and ready to serve our communist globalist masters intent on destroying America via 5G.
I mean, am I typing this cause I want to or is gates making me?
We'll never know.
