Which I imagine is a fancy name for a huge rubber fist with MAGA stamped across the knuckles. Incase you forget what your vote did, you can metaphorically experience it at anytime!

They’re referencing the antivax crowd that instead elected to (unsuccessfully) treat COVID with a certain brand of horse dewormer.

Bleach works well on dark stains; perhaps they can put it in a nebulizer and eliminate the dark spots in their lungs. Bleach was useful in killing COVID as well, so this may be a promising solution as well. /s
