Not trying to junior mod, but isn’t there already a Stupid Republican idea of the day for which most of this discussion could find a home? I thought that this thread was for dipshits not associated with any particular party? ---

If you run across stupid from someone else, feel free to share. Meanwhile: [Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer: Cancel culture will ‘come after Bible characters next’ (msn.com)](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/fox-news-anchor-bill-hemmer-cancel-culture-will-come-after-bible-characters-next/ar-BB1dQ507?ocid=msedgdhp) “Cancel Culture” is not a real thing. It’s an idiot’s phrase to appeal to idiots. If you the phrase as something real, well. you have been had. As the moron in the article has proven. ---

> [@Typo\_Negative](#): > > Jeebus, is wearing a mask THAT fucking difficult? What’s difficult for that kind of asshole is having to do something he’d rather not do. It’s a disability known as “toddler syndrome”. I’m surprised that these sorts of maskholes haven’t started claiming that they don’t have to wear masks because they’re under five years old. It would be a hell of a lot more plausible than claiming they’re federal marshals. ---

That is all awful lot of trouble just to not wear a mask. Let me get fake badges and fake id cards and risk real arrest to avoid a mask. ---

Not sure if this one came up, but a 55 year-old Ohio woman – whose name _actually is_ Karen – refused to wear a mask, may or may not have been a bit tipsy, resisted arrest, and was generally a Stupid MFer just a couple weeks ago: > **[Woman named Karen arrested for trespassing after refusing to wear mask in...](https://www.cleveland19.com/2021/02/05/woman-named-karen-arrested-trespassing-after-refusing-wear-mask-brook-park-grocery-store/)** > > A 55-year-old Parma Heights woman is facing several criminal charges after she refused to wear a mask inside a Northeast Ohio grocery store. **VIDEO NSFW - LANGUAGE** [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/AD_ZdQehf28/hqdefault.jpg "Police arrest anti-masker named "Karen" for trespassing.") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD_ZdQehf28) Charm.

I’ve heard of examples of people who claim a medical condition as a reason that they shouldn’t be required to wear a mask. OK, but if you really have such a thing (which is probably a respiratory issue), shouldn’t you be doing your best to avoid a pandemic respiratory disease? Like by not going out in public? ---

OK, but if you really have such a thing (which is probably a respiratory issue), shouldn’t you be doing your best to avoid a pandemic respiratory disease? Like by not going out in public? People with real conditions that make wearing a mask unbearable, breathing-wise, would be legitimately terrified by the prospect of catching any respiratory illness. ---

Being drunk and stupid aren’t mutually exclusive of course; to the contrary they often correlate. 🙂 ---

OK, but if you really have such a thing (which is probably a respiratory issue), shouldn’t you be doing your best to avoid a pandemic respiratory disease? Like by not going out in public? Yes, actually. I’ve got asthma, and depending on the exact conditions, wearing a mask does trigger it pretty badly. But I wear the mask anyways, because if I get COVID I’ll be even worse off. Days when it gets too bad, I stay home, or do curbside pickup if I really need something. There have been several times I’ve gone out to the store, but upon seeing how busy it is, decided to skip it, because I knew by the time I got finished, I’d be gasping for air. These fakers piss me off so sooooo much. ---
