> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > Look at the bright side. The GOP are killing their constituents, which means the voting population will trend more Liberal. Yes, there’s collateral damage; but thinning the herd affects more Conservatives. The number of conservatives killed so far is less than 1 percent of the vote that Trump received last November. ---

Not sure where your numbers are from but Trump won North Carolina by less than a percentage point and several states were less than a percentage point the other way. ---

Yeah. “Less than 1 percent of the vote that Trump received” sounds like a very small number, but it isn’t necessarily small compared to Trump’s margin of victory in some places. ---

[Regarding that guy](https://www.westword.com/news/thank-god-for-bob-5061240), “Remember, this is the lovin’ Christian supplicant who on his now-defunct TV program, _Bob Enyart Live,_ used to gleefully read obituaries of AIDS sufferers while cranking ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ by Queen, a combo whose lead singer, Freddie Mercury, succumbed to the same malady.

Sitting in the hospital waiting on a planned procedure, and in the bay next to me is a loud conversation. So far I’ve learned: - Covid _is_ real, all of those people didn’t die for no reason. - Covid is some kind of conspiracy designed to thin the population, this is true because: - The vaccines were ready so fast, they must have already been developed before the pandemic. - Vaccines don’t work the way we’ve been told, because that is too simple—-disease treatment is really complicated. - The vaccines were developed too quickly, so we can’t know they’re safe. - Normal people don’t need vaccines. - “It’s ok Mom, your old, so I’m glad you got vaccinated.” At least she’s wearing a mask. ---

Found out today one of my favorite office specialists was put on a ventilator today, due to covid. It’s a sad situation, as she’s only in her early 30’s, and has a young child. I don’t know her vax status. She has been one of the “dream team” who’s been in office almost every day throughout the pandemic. The person who told me is retiring in a few weeks because she refuses our agency’s vax or weekly test requirement that goes into effect 10/01. She makes no bones about her refusal to be vaccinated. And she’s also been in office almost every day, working right next to the woman now in hospital.
