I see these stories - this guy, the other guy, the State Rep. from Texas I think, other loudmouth anti-vax fools like them getting sick and dying - and I don’t feel sad at all. In fact, I probably smirk a little. I don’t want to. I’m a good person and would never wish harm on others but fuck. They are such idiots I have a hard time feeling sorry for any of them. ---

The ones who are more or less public figures like preachers, talk show hosts, and congresscritters who stick their puss in the news a lot railing how they’re not getting the jab because [reasons] kicking it well… maybe the more ordinary folk will start paying attention. The ordinary Joe or Jill who died because they drank the Kool-aide… it’s their families I feel sorry for. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > The Lieutenant Governor of Texas blames the rise in covid cases in Texas on black Democrats. What a shitweasel. > [@](#): > > “Most of the numbers are with the unvaccinated and the Democrats like to blame [Republicans](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/republicans) on that,” said Patrick. “Well, the biggest group in most states are African Americans who have not been vaccinated. The last time I checked over 90 percent of them vote for Democrats in their major cities and major counties, so it’s up to the Democrats to get just as that it’s up to Republicans to try to get as many people vaccinated.” No, you sniveling bothsideser, the Democrats are blaming Republican LEADERS in politics and the media for deliberately SABOTAGING anti-COVID measures to try to curry favor with ignorant fanatics. Democratic leaders in Black communities and elsewhere are already busting their asses doing everything they can to encourage and facilitate vaccination and other COVID-safety protocols, irrespective of the political affiliation of the populations involved. Speaking of which, nice work on shamelessly abdicating your electoral responsibility to safeguard the interests of ALL your constituents, not just the ones who voted for you, you selfish tribalist dickweed. “Yeah I’ve been assiduously sabotaging public-health measures for my entire state and country, but if some Democratic voters are resisting the measures then that’s totally the Democrats’ fault and it’s up to them to fix it!” Murdering scum. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > The Lieutenant Governor of Texas blames the rise in covid cases in Texas on black Democrats Well, that explains the talking points my Fox News-watching Uber driver was spouting the other night. He at least had the generosity to suggest that things like the Tuskegee experiment have given some people a justifiable reason to be doubtful of vaccines, and mentioned that he got vaccinated months ago. ---
