Covidiots thread

Thats been proven false.

I've noticed many times, relating to different topics, on different forums, that a conservative will do that 'passive-aggressive sarcasm snark' thing that they _love_ doing, and then a fellow conservative will take them literally and start arguing with them.

It really seems as if 'weak sarcasm' is the standard rhetorical 'mode' for conservatives these days. I have a theory that it's because they know their actual positions are hard to defend, so by expressing them in that sarcastic manner they can avoid having to state directly and clearly what they actually think, and so avoid the absurdity of it being too obvious.

Is it safe to declare MOST Republicans are deplorables?

At this point, you'd think they'd be proud of wearing the Deplorable label.

Welcome to bad faith engagements. I just put that shit on ignore, it's not worth the headache otherwise.

Well folks, Biden just made a massive move to mandate vaccines for a large swath of the American workforce.

It's going to quickly move to get vaccinated or be unemployed.

Biden is done fucking around with covidiots and Delta.

Yep, we went from carrot mode, to stick mode, and now have started big fucking club mode.

It's all false and he's being intentionally facetious.

Either that or his condition that causes him to only be able to spew forth misinformation is a factor.

You might have a clue of what is going on in the world actually seem to understand things. Not only did Rolling Stones print another fake news article, but several members of the left leaning media made posts about it and other COVID misinformation. The social media fact checkers seem to be on vacation and no one gets banned or punished by twitter for outright lies.

It seems "one side" doesn't have a monopoly on quacks, liars, and conspiracy nuts. Maybe one day people will understand that there has been a mind boggling amount of outright deception and the intentional misleading of people surrounding the origins and the ongoing management of COVID.

You lecturing on what is or isn't "fake news" and claiming to have understanding of the world is funny as fuck...say something else funny...hurry before the orange one shoves his dick back in your mouth!

Maybe but since you are my bellwether of when this understanding will happen, I'm not holding my breath.

Your faux concern over fact checking though is quite hilarious btw! Par for the course for a traitor like you though.

I would agree that no side had a monopoly on idiocy and Facebook is the devil. News orgs on both sides have been terrible at times. Dismissive, inaccurate or hyperbolic.. It's all been there

Is it equal right now... ? That's a different debate.

The Democrats as a party, and the mainstream media as its own entity - they will indeed get things wrong and be dbags sometimes. The Dems are a regular political party with some corruption, dbags, bad policy to mix in with everything else.

Your party lies more than they breathe, same with your media. It's the way they operate the vast majority of the time.

So spare the faux concern about the occasional piece of misinformation when that is all you and your ilk do.

 

[MtnMan]

Just how many of these types have there been, now? It's hard to know how to feel about these cases. They deserve medical care as everyone else does, just by virtue of being human beings. And gloating is morally questionable. Yet I have to confess I have a sneaking underlying thought that there's a kind of rough justice in the spreaders of misinformation being hoist on their own petard.

Needs a dedicated thread for "conservative anti-vaxxers (whether politicians or media people) who end up hospitalised or dead with COVID".

These are the next version of the raging homo-phobic gay hating republicans that end up on their knees giving a BJ to a male escort in an airport restroom.

Darwin has upped the consequences though with COVID.

 

[Lanyap]

that particular story was not true, but there have been cases where people died because they couldn't get a bed fast enough. I saw two reports. One posted here and one in my news feed. And those are just the ones that got reported.

There is absolutely no doubt that people who do not have Covid but needed a hospital have not gotten care or gotten substandard care in hospitals stretched to the max.

People like brandonbull don't give a shit about those people because it might make a republican governor look bad

Yeah, that was one contract ER doc for multiple hospitals that appears to have lied. That does not detract from the fact that hospital ICUs around the country are overloaded with COVID patients.

Orange County leaders are reporting some of the highest COVID-19 cases since the holiday peak back in January, including almost 2,000 new cases this past weekend and five deaths.

Guess that's what happens when he has a victory party on July 4th, and Delta proves everyone a fool a week later. Biden is done messing around and being messed with.

You and others don't care about the truth because it would make your Progresshevik cult look like the authoritarian mess that it is. Some old story: Orangeman and MAGA bad, Liberals good.

Thanks for proving my point. It's a simple fact hospitals have been pushed to the max, all the news is out there. You can call out one false item, which I acknowledged, but that's the rare exception not the rule, and yet you still persist. Literally doctors staging a symbolic walkout due to overwhelmed hospitals, the shithead governor of Texas asking for emergency nurses to come to the state, literally a vet died not getting care for a non-Covid related illness due to no beds, a child getting airlifted 150 miles to a hospital due to lack of pediatric beds, and on and on and on, etc...

You don't give a fuck about people getting shit care due to unvaccinated people because it fucks with your narrative. You'll point to one mistaken claim and scream like a piece of shit meanwhile your cult leader lies more than he breathes and that is your clan. This is why you are a waste of oxygen. Go play in traffic on a busy highway and do the planet a favor. Honestly. You are total filth.

I was going to reply to brandonbull, but I doubt I could have said it any better than this.

I don't know who you think you're talking to, but it was crystal clear to me from the moment I first saw a post by you that you were full of complete horseshit.

Maybe you should ask the mods to change your username to brandonbullshitspewer

Can you not get over the fact your cult-leader lost?

 

[pmv]

US doing worse than France, shock!

(Previously had kept reading that anti-vaccine sentiment was especially high in France...but seems the US is second only to Russia. Does look as if the UK - and Spain - are now getting down to the hardcore refuseniks, which presumably explains why vaccination progress has slowed dramatically...while in Mexico and India the bottleneck is presumably on the supply side...don't really understand why Australia, Japan and S Korea are lagging as they are)

Orangeman and MAGA are bad for America. MAGA policy running unchecked through all branches of government at all levels would lead to a failed state and turn America into just another *stan country. But maybe that’s what they want, because then they can go full fash and rape and pillage like the deplorables they are. Gotta be stockpiling guns for a reason, right?

Liberals are, well, bless their hearts. At least they mean well.

 

[sportage]

No offense, but your niece needs professional help.

I know. You're right about THAT.
Yes, I do worry because we're talking around 15 family members who think this way, and the worst of them are college educated with high paying careers. So I just do not understand what's up with them, but I feel the need to share because sadly these people are not that much of a minority as one might think. We have a lot of Americans who think this way, possibly 70 million give or take. That 70 million who support Donald Trump. So what is going in here???? My only conclusion is that this is truly a cult. It smells like a cult, it has all of the red flags of a cult. How does a cult like this attract so many loyal committed members? I still believe there is something else going on here like possible substance abuse, childhood trauma, or some sort of undiagnosed mental illness. Is it our advanced social media technology that people just can't cope with? It spreads like an illness and as contagious as the covid pandemic. I see good educated reasonable people fall not this cult-like insanity nearly every day and its worse when they happen to be family and relatives. What to do....? What to do....?

 

[cytg111]

Its the propaganda vectors. Fox++ and social media.
How can folks be so diluted to join such an obvious cult?
Dont be a dummy, be a smartie, come and join the Nazi party.

We’re not that hard to subvert, unfortunately, and it seems like its over us again.
Here is the real problem though, this time it is the USA, who the fuck is gonna fight back the US war machine? Thats right. No one.
So fascist way of life is in all our futures. It is what it is.
