"Too many people are pretending Covid's a big deal." . . . Please come CAPTION Fox & Friends!!!



Ainsley Earhardt is saying: "These school boards don't seem to realize how upset parents can get if you make their kids wear masks. The parents are also outraged when they close down the schools because of a Codvid outbreak and force their children to return to virtual learning. . . . And when you quarantine students because of these outbreaks, the parents go absolutely crazy. . . . Why can't these school boards just get it right for once?"

Brian Kilmeade adds: "Maybe the answer is to get rid of Covid tests."

Steve Doocy is thinking: "If we get sued, I'll blame these two."

It has been a year and a half and they are still talking about it. Other big deal stores have come a nd gone
Trump tried to down play it.
We changed government and covid is still a big deal.
People tried to take over the government still covid.

Does that mean Covid is a big deal?

we try to channel our subject's stupidity, duplicity, hypocrisy, avarice, etc. for purposes of satire.

But this fact is that, this very morning, Kilmeade was arguing against mandatory masks in schools and schools that return to virtual learning because of outbreaks.

What you are watching regarding Covid-19 is the inevitable result of what eventually happens when one political party abandons any discernible platform of beliefs and positions and just "plays defense" against the "other side". Its really that simple. In their minds, they can't be seen as "wrong", and the other side can't be seen as "right". These are the people that have framed the discussion as they are the "good guys", and everybody else that disagrees with them are the "bad guys". Because the bad guys can never be seen as right or correct or righteous, they must fight - with whatever ridiculous justification they can find - anything the other side is in favor of. Thus, their response to the pandemic(its a conspiracy some way, some how... it just has to be)

It is this simple. Had covid not been framed the way it was by the RW media, you'd have no more than 10-15% of the country acting this way about masks, mandates and vaccines. Had any other Republican been POTUS last year, the RW media would not be acting like this.
