I wonder where we're at as far as likely voters being vaccinated? We have to be smoking the

Repiglickin's, but by how much? I've heard vaccination rates among African American's and Latino's are lower, but I really hope we're getting more of them vaccinated, especially our voters.

... in the next few elections, because many of them will be dead of COVID, thanks to having been sold on the idea that it was a "hoax" - an idea peddled by TFG and promoted by his toadies in the GOP.

The Republicans have participated in a scheme that has actually killed - and continues to kill - their most ardent supporters.

That was always the inevitable outcome of telling the GOP "base" that they should ignore foolish ideas like social distancing, wearing masks, and ultimately being vaccinated.

What was obvious to everyone of sound mind went somehow unforeseen by the PTB in the GOP - but as has been proven over the last four years, the powers-that-be in the Republican party don't know what the fuck they're doing.

And they are more likely to die from it.

I just returned from my local grocery. I noticed some staff with masks, some not. I asked my favorite cashier what was the deal. She told me if they prove they’ve been vaxxed, they don’t have to wear them. She is a Latina and she is vaxxed, but every single black staff member was wearing a mask. One very heavyset man was wearing it below his nose. When I mentioned how idiotic that was, she said he ignores anyone who tells him that.
