The right wing love themselves some plague

[Soph0571]

Here in England we are opening up on Monday - all covid rules swept away, with the government instead asking people to use their common sense - the same people who voted for economic and cultural suicide with Brexit and then putting BoJo in number 10... of course they are going to go to face licking parties as soon as they can, they have no sense of community responsibility at all. All the while we currently have the largest infection rate on planet and media reports today that fans rocked up to Wembley to watch the Euro's final having tested positive, spreading it about and sending the newly infected off to all corners of the country.

America is just as bad with the anti-mask and anti-vaccine wing nuts and hot spots popping up all over under vaccinated populations. Surprise!

Putting whole communities at risk. Selfish fuckers the lot of them. We need to avoid the lot of them like the plague (see what I did there! )

Plagues are not just for the middle ages anymore... as BoJo has reportedly said, let the bodies pile high in their thousands.

1. 'Face-licking parties'. I'm totally stealing that. :)

2. "Shouldn't we avoid this like the plague"?

Would be a good question for anti vaxers.

[Shermann]

3. Yep the right needs a new idiom

How about...

"Avoid it like math and science!"

"Avoid it like the truth!"

"Avoid it like a fair system!"

"Avoid it like accountability!"

4. In fairness to the British

The vote for Brexit was 51.89% versus 48.11% to stay--hardly an overwhelming majority. An astounding 28% didn't vote at all, and plenty of those didn't vote because they didn't think it necessary, as they figured everyone with common sense would vote to stay (sort of like our 2016 election). Plus, the "Leave" vote was aided by an EU bureaucracy that had grown into a bloated, uncaring, increasingly ineffective and self-perpetuating money-consuming monster that handed the Brexiteers (aided by parties still unclear) backing for their arguments on a silver platter. Admitting countries like Romania and Bulgaria before they were ready was a cynical move to appease less than 20 large western European companies eager for factories with cheap labor, and tariff-free imports of their now more cheaply made goods. The Brexiteers had a lot of their work done for them by the EU already, shooting itself in the foot for the ten or fifteen years prior to the vote.

Britain has a parliamentary system. That means that their PM is chosen by the members of Parliament. They may or may not represent the true national sentiment at any one given moment. It would be the equivalent of letting the gerrymandered House of Representatives choose the president. That might, but also might not represent the national will.

7. Well, our electoral college system also does not

always represent the national will either, so we're even with the Brits on that.

[DFW]

12. That's true enough

But the suppression of voting rights in close swing states gives false reflections of the popular will, and this false reading is reinforced in the electoral college vote, just as gerrymandering makes state legislatures and the House of Representatives give a false image of true voter preference.

9. I really think

that the purveyors of the open the society are trying to thin the herd so to speak. Their logic
seems to be the lower classes will die at a higher rate than the elites,so there will be more wealth to divide among themselves. Truly evil intent is in their hearts, along with stupidity ,because neither the disease nor the vaccine recognize class or wealth.

5. You know the saying the Trump crowd loves to throw around...

[wnylib]

8. This gives me a new saying.

Instead of, "You can't fix stupid" I will say, "Only covid fixes stupid."

[gordianot]

6. You still hear RW spout almost the same bullshit denial from a year ago.

You cannot cure the stupidly what remains sometimes it manages to kill itself anyway.

[The Jungle 1]

10. Stunningly ignorant

They won't ware a mask because of freedom.
Yet in the next breath they want to control our sexuality and healthcare abortion rights.
Drooling pukes.
