Cobb County, Georgia in one photo.

I want to know why parents do not want to protect
their children from illness--severe illness or even death. Just makes no sense. No sense at all

Cobb County, Georgia in one photo. A Black father with a handmade sign supporting masking school kids. A white woman with a professionally made sign against masks- wonder where she got it? Who is funding all these school protests over protecting children in a raging pandemic?

1. I'll say it again: The GOP love their hate more than they love their children. NT

[Maru Kitteh]

10. Holy crap. That's at once shocking and undeniably true.

How tragic.

[riversedge]

26. agree. sad but true

[CurtEastPoint]

2. as an ATL resident, I JUST posted this same photo on FB to show the idiocy of that woman.

[Probatim]

3. Not just idiocy - look at her face. She is angry and afraid and probably doesn't even know why.

[Mr. Evil]

21. She was taught to be that way.

40 years of AM hate radio, 26 years of Focksnooze and then finally, TFG. She, most likely, has always been a racist so that's how many of these people are hooked. Anger and fear easily dupes and programs these monsters.

4. Have to believe there is a lot of astroturfing going on...

The Teabag movement was just practice.

[pandr32]

23. Agreed

5. Mnay of the "angry" parents here in SOFL meetings don't even live here

And, many that do have kids in private schools. They all have these professional signs, so they definitely are being astroturfed. The funniest thing is most PRIVATE schools in FL (including Catholic ones) mandate masks in schools, no excuse. Including the one DeSantis' sprogs go to.

6. She's been provived with a megaphone.

Not everyone has one of them hanging around their garage.

7. Newt Gingrich's former district... Not surprised.

[Cracklin Charlie]

8. Mike Flynn is a big part of these protests of mask mandates.

He is encouraging people to show up at local meetings to disrupt the democratic process.

Traitor belongs in jail.

9. That woman must be a real piece of work.

Unmasked angry face with a professionally printed sign and a megaphone. Uck!

Look at the man. He is wearing a mask and his handmade sign says: “We ask for Masks!”

It is obvious who the good person is in this photo.

11. Twice this week someone told me personally it's the religious right rejecting librul science

librul science.

One was a union leader on cnn explaining there were religious reasons for not enforcing vaxes and masks. Also a woman I know told me point blank the religious need to keep rejecting anything libruls demand in order to uphold their status in their religious community.

Same goes for the environment: If they're not rapture nuts, they're still saying gawd will do what he wants with us and the planet and it's not our responsibility to do anything to protect our planet or ourselves. Total surrender to "his will."


I still say we have a choice: it's us or gawd. We can't go on like this. We've gotta throw gawd out and grow the eff up and take responsibility for ourselves. Gawd's the reason for afghanistan, and most other huge problems. He's gotta go. Yesterday. No more fairy tales.

14. Uhh, I'm confused

Trying to remember those far off Sundays in Bible class. Seems to me that the Bible has at least one passage where mankind was made the steward of the land. In fact, that 's the excuse many have made over the centuries as to why they can rape the land, since they have "dominion" over it.
Last time I looked a steward is responsible to the owner for how he or she has cared for the responsibility placed upon them. Any cop-out from the fundy Right about how they are not responsible for their (in)actions should be met with that reminder, forcefully.

[lindysalsagal]

15. Right, but you're using facts, knowledge and rational thinking.

Those are all forbidden to the truly devout.

[irisblue]

24. Steward of the land now means " I'll take everything I can get from the land"

Free market capitalism is now a sub tenent of the US religious rapture right.

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. Which is it?

His will or Free will I'm going with, throw gawd out. That's an all around win.

[Phentex]

13. I have a fiend who teaches there and she is nuts...

I mean this is someone I've known a very long time. And somehow she is anti-mask and thinks Covid is no big deal even though she and her entire family have had it. This pandemic has been very trying on our relationship. She's not an idiot but she really is wrapped up in the Cobb County stereotype.

[MyOwnPeace]

18. 'Freudian slip?'

"I have a fiend who teaches there and she is nuts..."

fiend: def; a wicked or cruel person.

[Jon King]

17. If she only got that enraged about climate change, health care, tech education, infrastructure.

She might actually worry about the real issues that will affect her precious kid's futures.

[KS Toronado]

19. I'd say whoever is profiting in the stock market

from the no mask mandates is who's funding these protests.

[toughtony]

20. That's What Bothers Me--THE ANGER!!

Why the hate and anger. They look like the same people from jan 6. It seems all these "mandate" protests are finance by the right wing for politican purposes. No matter where you go, these people have ready made sighs as if the whole thing was planned. I also think they finance the counter protester as well. Why the anger, the hate. Some guy in California got stabbed! This is about our health and safety!! But then they were the same ones when the 10 commandments was an issue, abortion clinics, the Affordable Care Act. Why do they need to resort to violence! They're Christians, right?

22. I lived in Cobb for 14 years.

Many there think the rules don't apply to them.
