The country really is a rotting husk that is on borrowed time. This obviously isn't the only incident like this across the nation and in general you can see the flippancy to an obscene number of dead Americans.
Yup. See all the women who are anti-abortion until suddenly their daughter needs an abortionOh, they'll change their tune real quick when it is their parent, their sibling, their child, in that hospital bed (if one is even available for them) fighting the virus.
I'll never understand conservatism in this country.
almost spat out my raisin branI'm sure he would repeat that sentiment about himself if someone pulled a gun on him right there. "Shoot me, I'm not special, it happens".
Only if it doesn't "inconvenience" them.
Basically this.If Trump wasn't in leadership or trying to become elected again, the anti-mask rhetoric wouldn't really be even close to what it is.
My god these American idiots take shit to a whole other level, this guys argument was literally who cares if people die. The USA will never truly progress unless the sheer amount of these people is dealt with.There is something seriously wrong with American covidiots. We have antimaskers here too, but they're not as vile as the ones you guys have.
when their parents die I'm sure they'll say the exact same thing!
I would end up arrested if someone said that about my parents if they were sick.
Basically this.
Had he listened to experts, this shit would be buried deep to the Alex Jones shit...
Alas no.
Honestly they probably will. These people are so set in that they would condemn their own family to death rather than be wrong.when their parents die I'm sure they'll say the exact same thing!

I think that they honestly just don't even value their own lives very much. People who are spending their time in this emotional/mental state on a regular basis are that way because they don't feel very good about themselves deep down. I suspect that is generally a trait shared amongst people who lean conservative - they are very repressed when it comes to vulnerability (could stick other components in here like masculinity). Another part of it is that most of them have lived decades of being passive consumers of identity, white people most of all. They've lived in a world they take for granted and in our contemporary era, information and connectivity is too accelerated and their ways become maladaptive. If we live in a world where discursive flows are spreading out in a multitude of directions in an unprecedented manner, conservatism is like a stick in the mud, desperately being held onto. Often when people live dysfunctionally for periods of time, they can become resentful and bitter and begin to value even themselves less. It's like an emptying out of who they are and have been and they are ill prepared in terms of having the emotional and mental tools to deal with anything. Trying to coax them out of this place can be very challenging because during crises of identity, people can often be unwilling to budge, even from a place that is ultimately self destructive. It takes a lot of psychological treatment shenanigans to work with individuals, I'm not even sure how it could work on a mass scale.wait, this guy is literally wearing an all lives matter mask, am i missing something lmao
is this one of those things where "if everything is special then nothing is"? is that what parts of the ALM movement are turning into lol
i seriously dont understand someone touting all lives matter and then literally saying "everyone dies so who cares", dude clearly just means to be an agitator with that stuff
A relative on my wife's side got COVID and at the time I heard, she had it for NINE DAYS and thought "It's fine it's just a flu", and her husband still doesn't think COVID isn't a real thing (beyond "just a flu"). They are both Trumpers.Oh, they'll change their tune real quick when it is their parent, their sibling, their child, in that hospital bed (if one is even available for them) fighting the virus.

....wait, we're already at 360k? FUCK I-They haven't learned shit from 21,113,528+ positive cases & 360,078+ people who've died from COVID within the past 9 months.
It'll take a long time for this country to go back to normal at this rate. Look at how other countries have handled it:
and give COVID the chance the mutate into some crazy super mutant virus?!Instead of arguing with anti maskers. We should put them on an all expenses paid trip to a secluded holiday island. So they can infect each other and compete to the death for the darwin award.
Say something about my father and be prepared to lose some teeth.
All Lives Matter never meant anything to these people which is why they can wear it with zero self-awareness. It's not actually an ideal they live by but a refutation of the existence and meaning of Black Lives Matter. It exists only to counter and silence and not actually adhere to. It might as well say "Fuck Black People" because that's what it actually means to them and they're too cowardly to say that in actually.wait, this guy is literally wearing an all lives matter mask, am i missing something lmao

I'd venture to guess that it's at least twice that actually. Lots of deaths not being reported as COVID-19 and others that are being intentionally obfuscated.
Definitely higher.
republicans fudging the numbers and all that.

True. The order to obfuscate the deaths will no longer be coming from the top so we're going to slowly get closer and closer to the real number.
