... When I read that another anti-masker or anti-vaxxer is positive for COVID or died of it my reaction is not one of compassion, though. Serves you right, I think ...

... I’m not sad for the anti-vax, anti-mask, COVID denying conspiracy theorists; I feel empathy for the people who had to clean up their mess. Despite my lack of fucks to give over these idiots who spread misinformation and unfounded fear, I care about the health care workers and hospital workers who are burnt out and barely hanging on. Those are the people I have empathy for.

I feel bad for the people who loved these people ...

It could be 500 and there will always be some other jackass ready to step up and spout shit.

Until Democrats get serious about having a significant presence on the radio, the airwaves are lost to nonsense.

Check out Reddit for the Herman Cain Prize. You have to be a public figure who publicly denied the virus, masking, and/or vaccines AND died of the virus to be awarded this coveted prize.
