> [@bobot](#): > > OK, so as I understand it, Regeneron is an actual treatment. So why do these fucks not have a problem with it? And Regeneron is not FDA approved – it’s being administered under an Emergency Use Authorization, has no more testing than the vaccine, and anti-vaxxers don’t know what’s in it. I guess when your O2 drops far enough, you forget to ask the important questions and just take what they give you. ---

Apparently, they do everything on paper as emails are too easy to hack and track. I don’t have all of the memos, but it’s clear there is a discussion of their strategy to reduce the number of Conservative voters (The Democratic Vote Enhancement Program). The Democrats know that the most radical Conservatives (primarily Trump supporters and those politicians who curry favour with Trump) will A) disbelieve anything and everything Democrats say; and B) will always do the opposite of what a Democrat recommends. The strategy outlined in the discussion is to promote the Covid vaccine as a means to protect one’s self from the virus – which, in fact, it is very good at. By urging everyone to be vaccinated, Democratic and Liberal voters will be protected. Conservative voters eschew the vaccinations, become infected, and die; thus reducing the number of people likely to vote for Republican candidates. > > These memos would be incredibly damaging to the Democratic Party, even being copies of copies of copies of redacted copies. That’s why I have them in a place so safe, I cannot easily get to them myself. ---

> [@](#): > > “using reverse psychology to trick Trump supporters NOT to get a life-saving vaccine” “This is a life-saving vaccine against a deadly disease. Everyone for whom the vaccine isn’t contraindicated should get vaccinated as soon as possible.” Trump supporter: “Waaah! You’re using reverse psychology to trick me into not getting a life-saving vaccine!” “?? No I’m not: I WANT you to get vaccinated, I want everybody to get vaccinated who possibly can, we’ll all be much safer and better off that way. I got vaccinated right away myself, why would you think I’m against people getting vaccinated?” “But now I CAN’T get vaccinated if you’re TELLING me to get vaccinated, because you’re such an ugly smug bully!” “Uh, well, I guess you have to choose what you think is right for you to do? Nobody’s going to physically inject you with the vaccine without your consent.” “THAT’S PUTTING ME IN AN IMPOSSIBLE POSITION!!” (And about the Trump supporters “feeling like cucks” if they get vaccinated: what ever happened to “Facts don’t care about your feelings”?) ---

Words that end in “ist” are not at all comprehended by Republicans. How they choose which ones to use, I couldn’t tell you. ---

> [@JohnT](#): > > I mean… the delusions are coming full circle: > > [20210919\_165415 | JohnT\_15 | Flickr](https://flic.kr/p/2mskNEU) The sense of this is that right-wingers are SO MENTALLY WEAK that they can do _nothing_ stemming from their own (apparently absent) powers of reason. The only action they can take is RE-action. Only if a leftist makes a declaration can the right-winger do anything _other_ than, presumably, stare at the ceiling of his parent’s basement as he lies in his bed. But if that leftist makes a declaration (on anything), the right-winger can now _act_—he can do the opposite! But if not, not. Jeez, you’d think they’d want to conceal this radical passivity of theirs, instead of revealing it in their cranky online postings. ---
