The cowardly, ass (Trump’s) kissing Repubs, have devolved into the same immoral hypocrites as the Orange Clown that they pledge fealty to.
Back in July, Kay Ivey, governor of Alabama, had some strong and sensible things to say about Covid-19 vaccines. “I want folks to get vaccinated,” she declared. “That’s the cure. That prevents everything.” She went on to say that the unvaccinated are “letting us down.”
Three months later Ivey directed state agencies not to cooperate with federal Covid-19 vaccination mandates.
Ivey’s swift journey from common sense and respect for science to destructive partisan nonsense — nonsense that is killing tens of thousands of Americans — wasn’t unique. On the contrary, it was a recapitulation of the journey the whole Republican Party has taken on issue after issue, from tax cuts to the Big Lie about the 2020 election and the subsequent bloody insurrection.
The falsehoods that are poisoning America’s politics tend to share similar life histories. They begin in cynicism, spread through disinformation and culminate in capitulation, as Republicans who know the truth decide to acquiesce in lies.
Take the claim of a stolen election. Donald Trump never had any evidence on his side, but he didn’t care — he just wanted to hold on to power or, failing that, promulgate a lie that would help him retain his hold on the G.O.P. Despite the lack of evidence and the failure of every attempt to produce or create a case, however, a steady drumbeat of propaganda has persuaded an overwhelming majority of Republicans that Joe Biden’s victory was illegitimate.
The ignorant, gullible sheep avoid the vaccine that they were so proud of when Dotard was taking credit for it, as they listen to and worship FOX, where the entire staff is required to be vaccinated.
WTF. Why am I wasting my time with a bunch of anti-science, clueless morons who deserve to get get COVID? Because these morons are hurting others with their ignorance.
Bottom line, though, not my problem, BUT, I like to let the clueless idiots know what I think of them, on a regular basis.
