> Poll is based off of a right-wing writer who [ridiculously claimed that liberals were trying to increase conservative deaths by telling conservatives to vaccinate against Covid](https://uk.news.yahoo.com/telling-people-vaccinated-leftist-plot-212422376.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAALd7AgZ4us4H6m_Ma_Sz36hp3De2sHNWZffjBA0zHAV3MnzBdQxWeBLU1CwqKiQEFTKo_HgNM4Tf5ZiAgHKhOlMwsAcnWQ4TUh_a5mD7VdkWlgW4z_TyDao59IbjuIx63Nj9sB504Q-5SPzDJaXXLbJx6N97SKNOnU-4bZsV5PC_), knowing that this would lead conservatives to rebel and refuse to vaccinate, and thus lead to more conservatives dying of Covid

And this is why you simply cannot win with conservatives. Tell them to do the right thing, they’ll not do it just to spite you. Tell them the wrong thing, they jump down your throat for telling them the wrong thing, like they suddenly care about facts when it suits them. They’re intentionally going to be unhappy no matter what you do.
