Breitbart Columnist: Liberals Trying To Trick Trumpists Into Not Getting Vaccine So They Die





https://www.wonkette.com/breitbart-columnist-liberals-trying-to-trick-trumpists-into-not-getting-vaccine-so-they-die

Pack it in, everyone. Breitbart's John Nolte is onto our dastardly plan. He's figured out our secret plan to kill off the Right by encouraging them to get the vaccine. Is this because he thinks the vaccine is part of Bill Gate's plot to depopulate the world? Or that it's poison? No! He says he is vaccinated himself and is a great proponent of the vaccine. He just thinks that we're encouraging conservatives to get the vaccine because we know that if we tell them to get the vaccine, they will deliberately not get the vaccine just to spite us — and has been pushing this theory in several columns as of late.

This is from one column where he claims that Howard Stern mocked some anti-vaxxers who died of COVID in order to reverse psychology Trump supporters into not taking the vaccine, so they all die.

Do you want to know why I think Howard Stern is going full-monster with his mockery of three fellow human beings who died of the coronavirus? Because leftists like Stern and CNNLOL and Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Anthony Fauci are deliberately looking to manipulate Trump supporters into not getting vaccinated.
Nothing else makes sense to me.

In a country where elections are decided on razor-thin margins, does it not benefit one side if their opponents simply drop dead?

If I wanted to use reverse psychology to convince people not to get a life-saving vaccination, I would do exactly what Stern and the left are doing… I would bully and taunt and mock and ridicule you for not getting vaccinated, knowing the human response would be, Hey, fuck you, I'm never getting vaccinated!

But, honestly, I'm happy to start promoting the Trump Vaccine and accusing the liberals of some sort of anti republican conspiracy theory in order to move the needle in the arms of vaccine hesitant people.

(As a matter of fact, I think I joked about starting said conspiracy theory on social media a week or two ago! Maybe Breibart was watching.)

Just like with masks, he said they should get the shot if they want to, but they should also have the "freedom" not to get it.
What he did do is consistently play down the severity of the virus, and tell people it's "no worse than the flu."

I think that, combined with the various conspiracy theories being spread in right-wing media, is what made many trumpists reluctant to get the shot.

and insinuate that the grimness of Covid was a hoax. Trump said the severity of Covid was "a fake News Media conspiracy". Every day hoax, clorox, fake news, blah blah blah. His idiot followers listened and believed. When Trump finally (weakly) encouraged his followers to get vaccinated, they booed him. Trump perhaps did not put the word sequence "do not get vaccinated" together, but he certainly conveyed to his followers that Covid was somewhere between a flu that would one day, like a miracle, disappear and a hoax.

If I had only respected the "Fuck your feelings" crowd, then they would have gotten vaccinated?

If I would call them "patriots" instead of insurrectionists (which they are), then they would have gotten vaccinated?

If I had given credence to hidden tracking chips and 5G whatever, they would have gotten vaccinated?

But because I think they should be vaccinated for the good of everyone, I'm forcing them not to be vaccinated?

Alrighty then.

I also think they shouldn't play on the highway.

Or skydive without a parachute.

Or leave loaded guns around for their kids to find.

But I guess that means they simply have to do those things now.

Thanks!

I'm sure my recent health problems kept them from getting the vaccine too. If I didn't need medical care, they wouldn't have to take up beds in the hospital.

They are always going to blame everyone else.

Sun Sep 19, 2021, 01:17 PM

basically saying that Trump supporters' brains don't work, either, at least not at an adult level, since he thinks they can easily be controlled by reverse psychology, the way some parents try to control obstinate children.

Of course the fact that Trump himself, and some other Republicans, encouraged their supporters to get vaccinated destroys his argument that it's those evil leftists' fault.

The simple fact is that RWers have for decades encouraged gullible people to believe nonsense and to distrust expertise. They have deliberately dumbed down their own base.

And now that it's killing some of them during a pandemic, nitwit RW pundits like John Nolte want to blame everyone but themselves.

Dr. Fauchi is apolitical in his job, Howard is in the middle, President Biden is center left and Speaker Pelosi is a standard liberal.

None of these people are leftists.

ODD

I’ve never found a rational explanation for RWNJs but here’s the shortcut/context I use to understand them. It saves me needless moments of shock and outrage. And - after 20+ years, my compassion reservoir for today’s republicans is bone dry.

Symptoms of ODD may include:

-Throwing repeated temper tantrums
-Excessively arguing with adults, especially those with authority
-Actively refusing to comply with requests and rules
-Trying to annoy or upset others, or being easily annoyed by others
-Blaming others for your mistakes
-Having frequent outbursts of anger and resentment
-Being spiteful and seeking revenge
-Swearing or using obscene language
-Saying mean and hateful things when upset

In addition, many children with ODD are moody, easily frustrated, and have low self-esteem. They also sometimes may abuse drugs and alcohol.

no outside help or encouragement needed ...

Idiots are trying to blame everybody else but themselves for their idiotic situation when they are in the ICU (if available) dying or seriously ill.

And since when does a trumper ever listen to anyone else anyway? This logic of theirs (blaming everyone else) doesn't even make sense.
