Conservative blasts conservative pundits who blame liberal "smugness" for antivax MAGAs:

Tim Miller
@Timodc
The compulsion among coastal elite conservative writers to squint and try to find a way to blame smug libs for the vaccine catastrophe rather than the right wing media cesspool that these people swim in is really something to behold.

1. They bitch and moan that we're making him feel guilty about stuff

And lecturing them. I can’t make anybody feel guilty, I’m not their mother, if they’re feeling guilty it’s their goddamn conscience. they just don’t recognize it.

That they are lying. They claim something is making them feel guilty when everyone knows they have no conscience.

true, but that's probably just an accident.

When they start to eat each other, I'll watch happily.

Even wildfires and floods and the MAGA crowd eats it up without thinking how in the hell that's even possible.

I meant the "coastal elite conservative writers" of course. The ones that call liberals "smug" but then kiss the ass of the most smug and arrogant human being that ever lived.

Sorry about the confusion.

7. I see Tim Miller on MSNBC often as a consultant.

I just want to clarify that he is not a Trumper, and never has been. I know he has worked for John McCain (briefly) and Jeb Bush, but not for Trump. He is the kind of Republican who drew a line at supporting Trump. Republicans who don't support Trump are still Republicans, of course, but at least this one is not a MAGA fascist, and does speak out against them and Trump on MSNBC. Just to be clear.

8. Trying to talk to an anti-vaxxer......
Sun Jul 18, 2021, 05:28 PM

is like talking to my dog. He looks at me, pretends he's listening, but tilts his head and pants.

The same thing applies to an anti-vaxxer (only my dog is smarter). They pretend to know what I'm saying, but I might as well be talking to my dog. They have their minds made up, and it doesn't matter if I'm smug, cordial, nasty, or sweet as candy. They're not listening anyway, so what difference does it make?

They always blame "coastal elites", like there isn't a single conservative who has an education living on the coast.

That mocks taking the vaccine, it is likely he will die or suffer long covid and I do not care. At 50 percent vaccination rate in the area with the delta variant expanding I may find out. Can't fix racist stupid jackasses.
