Jeanine: And now you want to mask us because you clearly failed in your effort to get us vaccinated
Jo
@JoJoFromJerz
And here it is- the quiet part out loud.
The GOP spent months spreading disinformation & lies about the safety & efficacy of the vaccines, for THIS.
So they could watch people die, and BLAME Biden.
They would rather hurt Americans to control the narrative than help them.
The end.

She has no self control. A couple of years ago Whoopi Goldberg kicked her off The View for calling Whoopi and the other hosts MotherF***ers in front of the audience. She is a nut job.

(7,429 posts)The judge was likely the first in line to get her shots. Her media persona is pure entertainment. She knows her audience and she's going to keep herself safe from COVID. Can you imagine this yoyo getting COVID and getting hospitalized, and then try to explain to her audience that they, too, can get it and it hurts? Nah. She won't take the chance, so she's vaxxed.
Warpy
(111,174 posts)but they're not the half that listen to Republican spew on channels like Pox. Pox has been very successful at disinforming their audience and now they want Biden to take the credit/blame? I don't think that is going to work.
As your audience gets sick, gets injured, and some of them die, the rest of us are not going to be too polite to say we told them so.
Maybe some of the survivors will even realize they were lied to and put into mortal danger.
This cow better not be spending all her money on plastic surgery and makeup. I have a feeling her days are numbered along with the rest of the liars on right wing propaganda. People tend to resent being lied to, especially when people they love have died from it.
Oh, and bless their hearts. That's in the southern sense.

(53,743 posts)Biden's bid to get at least 70% Americans vaccinated with at least one shot look like a failure...even if their own viewers and voters died from getting covid.
As long as they can spew that Biden is a failure they don't care who dies.

(11,949 posts)Because vaccinated people are pissed. Democratic, independent and republicans. They are down to 25% identifying as republicans and its not just old people dying. I left that party years ago and am now a social democrat. But I have several Republican friends, not religious, who have switched to independent.
One of my best friends is now an independent. His wife stays home all day and watched Fox. Or now maybe one of the more crazy one. His kids are kids. His wife and kids now have Covid. Well, the kids did, but they are over it quickly as expected from teens. His wife is sick and has been for a week. Bad sick. Hes not. Guess who in the home is vaccinated? Bingo. The husband. He is pissed.
They will not be able to put this surge on Biden. The Republican own almost all deaths here on out.
If we had 85% vaccinated this shit would be gone.
They also know they are the butt of jokes. From liberals. Ironically its driving them to get vaccinated! Vaccinations in Florida are way up.
They wont get vaccinated to save them and their families. But to not be owned by the libs they will take the jab. Well, whatever it takes. I dont think
Weve ever had a partisan pandemic. But we do now. And

(62,269 posts)American elections can be very razor thin and they are losing hundreds of voters. Actual races are being decided by the deaths. It is truly terrifying to them.
GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)Also the ones who survive a stint in the ICU and their families.
Its hard to change strongly felt beliefs. But once you are aware and admit one lie youve believed, the others start falling easier.
I know from experience. I used to be a solid non religious republican. My change started with the death penalty. In the late 90s. Once I realized how barbaric and racist it was I started realizing all the other lies I took as gospel. Well, having the luxury of traveling to Europe a good bit helped.
20 years later Im a Social Democrat.
Eyeball_Kid
(7,429 posts)Now they are getting vaxxed so the libs won't own them.
Remember that Thompson line?
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."
That's The Trump Era.

(11,949 posts)Dont remember that one.
IronLionZion
(45,380 posts)who want profits from ending the pandemic and don't care as much about owning the libs
GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)Because they have to have the crazy base. McConnell knows this is a huge loser but its a done deal.
The Arkansas Right wing republican Governor got booed at a town hall tonight when he encouraged people to get the vaccine. In one of the worse hit states in the nation.
If they go with big business they lose in the primary. And in any half way competitive district will lose in the general because they will nominate a loon.
Here in Florida Disney just announced that all non-union employees must get vaccinated. And are in negotiations with the unions to make it company wide. It will happen. Other big companies will follow. Normally republicans would support this, but now they cant. They are the anti-vaccine party. They own it and cant cast it off.

(45,380 posts)considering how easily their crazy stupid base can turn against any of their candidates for any reason.
aggiesal
(8,907 posts)they own the deaths before the vaccine as well.
So (R)'s basically own all the deaths.
This is by design.
GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)Its a pandemic and people were going to die. But I agree in spirit. Had Trump jumped on masks and shutdowns we might have less than 200K deaths.
But he was more worried about the stock market than the lives of Americans. Ironically, had he shown any real leadership he would still be president! Its really hard to beat an incumbent president.

(11,949 posts)They are not insane. They are evil in a non religious way. Wanting power no matter the costs . The nation is destined to become something they cant stand. Multicultural and truly secular. They are happy to throw off democracy to prevent that.
Call them insane you might as well cause my slave owning ancestors as insane. They were just shitty people.
But the die is cast. Young folks are not into their religion. Or their racism.

They are all vaccinated. And they all know Joe won the election. They are lying.
Playing their base to destroy democracy.

Eyeball_Kid
(7,429 posts)You are also correct, IMO, about the younger generation. It must be the way to go.
My baby boomer alternative culture generation also saw themselves as the ones to shuck off corporatism (another euphemism for economic fascism) and "turn the worm." Eh... Now the younger generations are seeing people MY AGE as misguided, greedy, and insensitive to the condition of society as a whole. And they're right. I hope that they're the tip of the spear this time, and I'd like to applaud them and join them along the way.

Oh yeah, this is a joke and probably not a very good one. Please treat it as such.
Warpy
(111,174 posts)so they could blame Biden for all of it. The vaccine is out and half of us have gotten the shot (lower in THEIR shit states) and there is no question of more lockdowns. For vaccinated people, breakthrough infections are largely just nuisances that are over in less than a week.
It's great to see such a callous and cynical campaign to hurt this country to score political points fail so spectacularly. Unfortunately, people who trusted them are going to get hurt and some of those people are going to die. About the only good thing that can possibly come out of it is a massive backlash against propagandists.
;There needs to be blowback and it needs to be severe enough to get us the Fairness Doctrine back. Right wing propaganda media would go "poof" overnight. They can't stand up to either fact checking or debate.

(3,064 posts)The Dems. have been masking for going on 1 1/5 years. The Dotard's followers feel it's a violation of their Constitutional rights to be stupid.
And there was no vaccine push until Biden took office. Under The Dotard magic thinking was first tried, then bleach and a fluorescent tube shoved up your ass.
She's right about one thing. Nothing makes sense. But she doesn't mean the absolute drivel she's spewing. She's dangerous.
She should be taken off the air by Fox. Her ratings are tanking, I believe. She's entitled to her opinion but not to be well paid for them.I hope her social media accounts are at least suspended.
