For that matter, why should we be upset about Putin interfering in our elections?

It's not like we haven't interfered plenty in the politics of other countries.

It feels like a lot of people on this thread should be okay with it.

"I consider it completely unimportant who in the Party will vote, or how. But what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.” Joseph Stalin, 1923 (as quoted in “Oxford Essential Quotations, 2017)

Apparently from a memoir by Stalin's personal secretary.

Local mother/son antivaxxers die within minutes of each other.

I need to go see if it's posted at Herman Cain Awards yet.

That's pretty much how I'm seeing things at this point.

It's why I wake up in the early mornings in a heart pounding panic.

There may very well be a civil war of some sort, but I don't see any initiative for it coming from our party leadership. How many people would just keep their heads down and submit out of fear? And I count myself in that if I'm unfortunate enough to still be here.

I don't think there will be any shortage of people willing to shoot us, lock us up, torture us, or subject us to show trials for insane Q type shit. Our society has been being systematically desensitized to violence and death for decades now. We yawn at mass shootings, and we've barely blinked over a plague that's killed nearly a million of us.

And yes, I want very much to get my family out the country well before the next presidential election. Just waiting for the pandemic to hopefully die down some before getting started on that.

I honestly pray that the people who think we're being silly alarmists turn out to be right.

They're engaged in bioterrorism. The moral equivalent of suicide bombers.

That's what the Republicans are doing to this country.

At some point there should be some limit on how many unvaxxed Covid patients are allowed in hospitals. They're holding everyone else hostage.

Covid has shown that the "feared for their lives" claim is completely bogus.

If they were genuinely afraid of dying, they would get vaccinated, and I'd be willing to bet that there's a strong correlation between cops who use excessive force, and cops who refuse vaccination.

It really is all about outsized aggression, needing to dominate other people, and fear of being disrespected or dominated by anyone else. (I believe that submitting to vaccination is seen as submitting to someone else's authority, and that's why it's so feared.)

The old excuses will never cut it with me again.

It's what this current thread is in response to, I'm pretty sure.

The GOP is waging biological warfare against the United States.

The dying rubes are the cannon fodder.

That's the bottom line.

Hermain Cain Awards having a positive impact. Influencing hesitant to go ahead and get the shot.

I've been lurking a lot on this Reddit board. https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/

Lately I've begun seeing posts by vaccine hesitant people who have who have decided to get the shots after reading the accounts there. https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/ppnri6/declining_my_award/

For all the people scolding about how counterproductive "death shaming" is, it appears to be having a genuine positive influence on some people. It seems to be acting like a vaccine equivalent of "Scared Straight".

And even now, they are not all beyond reach.
