So last night they were talking about no pandemic

plans for the future, much less any funding of any kind!
5 more days till republicans take the house.

Yet they were saying Covid spikes are still killing people.

This should be interesting!

If you don't talk about it, it doesn't exist.

When it comes to pandemics such as COVID. But when they need medical attention or surgery of any kind, they rely on SCIENCE to get them through.

Makes all of us want to grind our teeth to the nubs.

Enough to encompass those who have spread Disinformation regarding the virus itself, and the effectiveness of the vaccines.

Those who to this day, still insist that the virus never existed. That vaccines are some sort of conspiracy plot. That if you get vaccinated, you're going to die.

Anyone who assisted in contributing to the spread of the virus, and who are enabling the virus to continue mutating, and cause a health crisis that will likely continue for months and years to come.

Beyond that, those who continue voting for people that fit the above definitions. People who keep Assholes like Marjorie & Gaetz in power, and ensure this country will be a science denying shithole for the rest of my life.

People who vote for disinformation spreaders threaten all of us. I may not wish them dead, but they couldn’t care less whether their votes threaten my well being, so if they put in power Covid deniers, and then they die from it, I won’t lose sleep.

I assure you that there are plenty of others here on DU who share my sentiment.

Or perhaps gulags or camps where we concentrate people.

I get it. The people who voted for guys like Hitler were fine people, and it is wrong that harm may have come to them. I guess Truman was wrong for dropping bombs on Japan and killing those nice folks.

And according to the current Laws of War it was a war crime. At the time not so much.

We however are not at war with voters who vote differently then ourselves, that is how Democracy works and I find views of locking up people who vote differently both authoritarian and abhorrent. YMMV.

There are some repub politicians who did take the pandemic seriously. Those who voted for repubs who spread disinformation, and mocked doctors like Dr Fauci are a clear and present danger. They are Directly responsible for countless deaths, and the fact vaccination rates will never recover.
