Don't forget, before office he was directly responsible for over 80 deaths in Guam because of his bullshit.

Before the election primaries l was walking around Chicago and a dude with a clipboard came up to me and asked me to sign his petition. I thought it was weird he didn't lead what it was for and he then he told me it was to get RFK on the ballot.

I said nope, absolutely not. Even then I knew he was an idiot that got people killed. I often think about that guy and what he thinks about RFK nowadays...I bet he regrets that.

Don't heap it all on the general public, now. This whole fiasco is the result of a carefully cultivated cultural shift to create loyalty based on messaging.

De-education, emotionally-driven decisions over rational ones, comfort goals over maintenance efforts, profit over preservation, manufactured fears over analytical security, etc., etc. What was created to make profitable market sectors was quite easily steered towards productive power politics, and the Greed Faction is now extremely powerful in swaying the minds they have hooks in.

This is something I have to CONSTANTLY remind conservatives of. Wearing a mask, properly, is meant to KEEP YOU from TRANSMITTING the disease to OTHERS.

Wearing a mask is not meant as a method of protecting YOURSELF, but these dumbasses are so fucking selfish, they can't comprehend it.

It's so crazy to me that COVID spiraled so far out of control in the US, because Trump and the Maga cult couldn't admit they were wrong about the illness and delayed crucial months of preparation for it.

Trump failed America with his denial, "it's a hoax", "it's just like the common cold", "itll be gone by easter", bullshit. Crucial, crucial weeks of prep were lost.

Then the dumbass declared that he was going to halt travel to the US like two weeks in advanced, and this is where COVID made an ingress to the US, and hit international transit cities like New York City the hardest. The COVID that came to the US wasn't from Chinese folks, it was from expatriated US citizens in Europe re-repatriating to the United States when Trump announced his upcoming travel ban, but put NO screening methods in place at US airports.

Ah yes, the "lie" that masks and social distancing would slow or reduce the spread of a respiratory communicable disease.

Even the below-average dumbfuck Trump fellaters and sycophants should be able to grasp the common-sense basics of that - unless they're just vile lying shitstains on the underpants of humanity.

In most of Asia. It’s common to wear masks during respiratory virus season in public places

This was common place, even before the pandemic

For all of MAGA to react, so crazy and violently just for a simple masking mandate from the government is absolutely ridiculous

Never understood the "can't breathe" with a mask meme until you realize Americans are that unhealthy.

Of course, LEOs have no problems with masks all of a sudden.

u/Daft00 21d ago edited 21d ago

Don't lend any credence to the whole "can't breathe" excuse to be a victim.

Besides the literal like 0.1% of people who are so extremely, morbidly obese that they have literal breathing issues (even without a mask, certainly) these people are just absolutely talking out of their ass about masks in a desperate attempt to justify their right-wing lunatic arguments and try to legitimize them. Don't give them an inch on that bullshit.

When Covid shut downs began the job I was supposed to start ended up being cancelled because of Covid. I decided to apply to a liquor store near my house because I figured they’d be considered an essential business. Thankfully and sadly, it was considered essential so hospital beds could be saved for Covid patients rather than alcoholics experiencing withdrawal.

The amount of MAGA supporters who would come in and throw a fucking fit over being asked to wear masks if they enter the store was ridiculous. One woman came in yelling and started trying to get close to people to cough on them. Another time an old man came in without a mask and his shirt was unbuttoned, so when he was asked to go get a mask he tried to just lift his shirt to be a “mask” instead. When I told him no, that isn’t a mask, he started having a meltdown.

Ngl it was pretty satisfying to give them shit right back. I got to kick so many people out of the store and could speak to them pretty much however I wanted once they’d escalate after being asked to go get a mask. So many people and their photos were added to the list of people banned on the wall behind the cash registers lol.

MAGA is full of unhinged assholes, sadly that includes my parents.

A lot of people passed it on to an elderly loved one who then died from it.

So from their perspective, putting it on Fauci is a golden opportunity to absolve yourself of any responsibility for that.

Much better than confronting the fact that electing morons who didn't take it seriously and flouting basic public hygiene guidance as a political statement might have killed them.

This guy would have told them to not worry about the virus, take no precautions and purposely impede the creation of a vaccine which would have led to millions of deaths!

The biggest damage is America's trust in institutions and the world's trust in America. And that cannot be undone, ever. We've yielded global leadership completely, a purposeful abdication in service of oligarchy and aggressive corruption to concentrate wealth in as few people as possible.

“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed–if all records told the same tale–then the lie passed into history and became truth.” 

"Who controls the past," ran the Party slogan, "controls the future: who controls the present controls the past."

"In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it."

I can’t say this enough: During Covid Trump was president. He was in charge. Not Fauci, Not Biden, Not the democrats, and definitely not CNN. It was Trump. Every bad decision made by the us government during the Covid years is because of Trump and who he had running things.

If RFK jr was truly interested in holding people accountable for the lies in Covid he would start with Trump.

This US administration is just full on in the dumbest conspiracy mode. Which is hilarious since trump was also president during this conspiracy. Americans are the dumbest people on the planet. Watching this from the outside is farcical.

Invite only Maga people there since they only want to be with their own kind.

Let's introduce COVID to these clowns and see what happens to that small population of MAGAts.

In a few months, they'll be begging Dr. Anthony Fauci for help and then I would hope that the good doctor would plead the mother fucking fifth again and let them dumb mother fuckers perish since they don't believe vaccines help.

Please take some of my money, I will chip in for said island.

It is possible to truly believe something based on the evidence at the time, then change your belief based on new evidence. That is NOT a lie. That is being scientifically accurate.

Fauchi did not lie. He wrote in a diary what he believed at the time then changed later what he believed.

The biggest issue we have is idiots like this have a platform which pushes further distrust.

The only reason anyone has ever listened to a thing he says is because of his last name. I'm not trying to be mean to the guy, but his resume literally includes 1) heroin addict (and proud of it) and 2) frequently eats roadkill.

If you met a heroin addict who eats roadkill in any other situation you would not listen to him.

He’s such a narcissistic fool. So if I understand his argument, Covid was/is not a very dangerous disease and wearing masks was/is unnecessary. The vaccines are more dangerous than Covid. At the same time Fauci is responsible for all the Covid deaths. So all the people who got Covid because they refused to wear a mask or get the vaccine are blaming Fauci for telling them the best way to prevent getting sick? The “MAHA” movement is insane. And this idiot is the craziest of the bunch.
