1·2 months agoAlso stupid attracts stupid. The MAGA movement and Qanon stole all of the Democrats’ raw milk-drinking anti-GMO types. That’s part of how Trump put together a winning coalition. A confederacy of dunces.

61·2 months agoMy impression is that it was pretty organic. There’s been a large minority of antivaxers for a long time. They used to be more liberal coded, like hippie-dippie, new age, “all natural” kind of stuff. Then Covid threatened Trump’s re-election in 2020, and the right wing became reflexively contrarian against any attempt to mitigate it. And here we are, with most conservatives being antivax to one degree or another.

691·2 months agoIf we can hit 10,000 this year, that might start to get people’s attention. The next bad Covid or flu strain could really wipe some people out. I’m torn because, on one hand, the last decade has shown that accelerationism doesn’t work, but on the other, I want as many Trump voters as possible to die.


I mean like a New Yorker cartoon
Like, “You’re right, it does say ‘inches.’ I thought it looked big for a fire pit.”
