I have become addicted to the Herman Cain Awards subreddit. They usually keep the identity of the nominees/award winners secret, but didn’t in the case of well-known anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, anti-everything Republican congressional candidate Laura Loomer. It is also being reported in other places too, such as Democratic Underground. https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215864035 Most reports highlight a tweet of hers that didn’t age particularly well:

A subsequent tweet of hers shows that COVID-19 is indeed worse than bad fajitas:


I know it’s bad to wish ill of someone but she is such an awful person that I’m doing it in this case. Prayer Warriors, please pray for my soul.

1. If she survives and becomes a long hauler, what will she say then

[Blue Owl]

2. Sounds like all sizzle and no fajita -- surely Ms. Loomer is lying...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. She's running for Congress & she links hispanic cuisine to deadly diseases. She reveals herself. .nt

[lame54]

3. If she recovers...

She'll go right back to her trumper crap

[House of Roberts]

4. If she recovers,

then she is ineligible for the award.

One must be a denier and die to be eligible.

[Shrike47]

6. Oh, I hope she wins one.

[FSogol]

5. The nausea that comes from being on the same planet as people like Loomer is the worst part.

Honestly!

[MineralMan]

10. Well, that's ugly, I must say.

I'd ask you to explain what you mean by that comment, but I know, and millions upon millions of people have that sort of experience, including many people on DU.

Please think longer about what you write here.

[XanaDUer2]

11. Why, because she deep throats penises

there's enough to object to her ideas and political policies without bringing a sexual concept into it.

[Treefrog]

12. Sorry, but that's really sexist and unnecessary.

I never heard of this woman, but the fact someone would think of something like that…

[XanaDUer2]

13. I never heard of her either nt

[dsweet]

18. She was the loon who handcuffed herself

to the doors of Twitter because they perma-banned her.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. She's like Cawthorn, Boebert and Empty Greene all rolled into one. She's running for Congress. . .nt

[progressoid]

8. Aw.

That's a shame.

[Johnny2X2X]

9. I hope she dies quickly

Enough of these antivaxxers clogging the hospitals, if she dies quickly it frees up space for someone who needs her bed.

[Retired Engineer Bob]

15. Just send her home

I’m willing to give her the horse paste consolation prize as a loser of the COVID is a Hoax game.

[Paladin]

25. +1000. Give that emergency room to a sick kid. (nt)

[FakeNoose]

14. People who are that stupid shouldn't be allowed on Reddit or Twitter

(sigh) ...

[Treefrog]

31. I haven't seen a great display of intelligence on Twitter.

Not familiar with Reddit.

[FakeNoose]

32. I'm not on Twitter, the only tweets I see are the ones that get posted here

I am on Reddit, and the groups I participate on tend to shout down the RW idiots rather quickly.

Of course there are RW idiots everywhere, but they tend to leave places where they're outnumbered.

[Marius25]

16. She could be making it up for attention.

She can say, "I took Ivermectin and got cured!"

[dsweet]

17. This a quote from Anti-intellectualism in American Life

By Richard Hofstadter

intellectuals...are pretentious, conceited... and snobbish; and very likely immoral, dangerous, and subversive ... The plain sense of the common man is an altogether adequate substitute for, if not actually much superior to, formal knowledge and expertise.

I was assigned this book in freshman history when I went to college. That book has stuck with me ever since. This except (which I got from Wikipedia), in my mind, is a fair summary of what is going on today as well as the past forty years.

However, unlike, for example "trickle-down economics," this attitude is directly harming them. I guess it's to be seen if they will adapt or will Covid adapt to their further detriment.

[BlueIdaho]

24. Ah yes - the "common sense" brigade.

This propaganda took off in a big way during Regan’s first Presidential run. It may have been a Lee Atwater invention, at least it sure sounds like him. When people start believing their ignorance is the equal of researched facts you know you are near the end of a society’s existence.

It’s time to let the Lemmings leap before they do more damage.

[Stallion]

19. I hear Bad Fajitas Can Be Quite Painful!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

20. .

[malaise]

21. Rumor has it that she was singing

I think I Cain.

[BlueIdaho]

23. Walk into the light Laura

Walk into the light…

[Bernardo de La Paz]

26. "faster"? Speed is not the issue. Death & disability are the issues. Covid takes a while to kill. nt

[obamanut2012]

29. My friend is having elective surgery in a few weeks

So, she needs to earn her HCA award fast and not clog up hospital resources.
