Well damn, Mitch figured it out- anti vaccine less GOP votes

It finally hit them. There is an increase in anti vaccine people being infected and some dying. It is expected to get much worse this fall and winter as the delta variant spreads and it is the right wing that is spreading the Covid disinformation. We have it on tape.
So when the infected anti vaxx people and their families go to the polls, who will get the blame? Mitch knows.

I don’t know why they think winning elections is going to make all their dreams come true. They won them all in 2016. How come they couldn’t get what they want it isn’t America great again yet. ha ha Ha

5. I think the original philosophy was that a resurgence of Covid 19

…would create chaos and Democrats order more social distancing and more mask mandates all with the hope that it scare Wall Street and would hurt the economy.
It is actually a great strategy to say “hey, we told you so” and let the cult deal with the consequences.

If only people had NOT trashed Hillary from the LEFT, because every FUCKING time someone said

"I just cant trust her"

"OK, I guess I have to vote for her but will hold my nose"

two people on the fence heard that and decided not to vote, this played out MILLIONS of times

COVID-19 would rampage the urban democratic population centers faster than the rural republicans areas and give them an election advantage.

Trump very first comment on COVID was it was a Democratic hoax. If he would have said everyone wear a mask and social distance then I think he chances of being re-elected would have been much higher.

The only thing about trump I like is he is insanely predictable. He always takes something and makes it worse. How do you make a respiratory transmittable pandemic worse? Deny it exists and say masks are not needed. It’s a personal choice…this disease that effects the entire human race…consistent

2. I don't really see that in the article.

I don't think Mitch quite gets it. He'd be forcing his Senators to support vaccinations if he really understood the time bomb they are creating for their party.

9. Notice that the original anti vaxx Senator was Rand Paul

… the Junior Senator from Kentucky and he has been quiet the last few weeks.
Mitch has been avoiding the subject for weeks only stating that the vaccine should be a persons choice until last week.

If you support trump you are a murderer.

If only they could figure out a way to have it only kill us, they would be golden.

I have to laugh, if I had said this a year ago or 2 I would have been SCREAMED at for being OVER THE TOP...

I did and was.
