Breitbart Columnist: Get Vaccinated To 'Own The Libs'

Nolte has urged his readers to get vaccinated in a series of pieces over the last two weeks, pointing out that the overwhelming majority of COVID-19 deaths are now among the unvaccinated. But he also argues that by getting the shots, his readers could foil the efforts of the "organized left," which he says has been employing "reverse psychology" to "trick" them into not taking the "Trump Vaccine."

Nolte's new, pro-vaccine conspiracy theory features a range of right-wing grievances that are familiar to his audience. He suggests that a cabal of "sociopaths" including "His Fraudulency Joe Biden," other Democrats, journalists, and celebrities, are trying to "bully" the right into getting vaccinated as a way of manipulating them into declining the shots. The conspirators are doing this, Nolte alleges, because unvaccinated Trump voters are more likely to die, which would make it easier for Democrats to win elections and implement their "fascist agenda," which includes unleashing "terrorists like Antifa and Black Lives Matter into our cities."

In short, Nolte is saying that his readers have been deceived into thinking that they can own the libs by refusing the vaccine, when they can really own the libs by taking it.

It's incredibly toxic for Nolte to posit, without anything resembling evidence, that the president is literally trying to kill a vast swath of Americans for political gain -- asking Breitbart readers, "In a country where elections are decided on razor-thin margins, does it not benefit one side if their opponents simply drop dead?" And Occam's razor cuts Nolte's theory to shreds. It is much more logical to interpret Biden and others taking steps to encourage higher vaccination rates as the result of them wanting more Americans to live. It makes more sense to view the "bullying" Nolte perceives as coming from celebrities and others as genuine frustration at the anti-vax right endangering themselves and others. He is also curiously uninterested in the right-wing commentariat's role in discouraging vaccinations and undermining the vaccination campaign, making it unclear whether they are foolish dupes for falling for the "reverse psychology" gambit or willing partners in the effort to kill their audience members.

1. Whatever works.

If my getting owned by them makes them do what's best for themselves and everybody else, I'm all for it.

[Dorian Gray]

10. me too

they can own me so hard by getting the vaccine!

[ColinC]

17. The closing to that article is actually quite profound in a way...

"Final note: How many of you were aware the CDC believes that 99.5 percent of those dying are unvaccinated? I bet not many of you. So why would the metric that is the most convincing one not be all over the place? Once you learn that 99.5 percent of deaths are unvaccinated, it cuts through all the muck. That number is startling, an eye-opener… Forget cases, forget mandates, forget masks, and Howard Stern… When you learn that almost everyone dying is unvaccinated, that’s a come to Jesus moment.

I could be wrong.

Maybe the left isn’t that evil and sly.

But when I think of the unvaccinated lying there dying, being told by their doctor, “Sorry, there’s nothing more we can do to get enough oxygen to your lungs,” I don’t laugh. My heart breaks for that person. Imagine lying there dying thinking that all you had to do was get the Trump Vaccine.

Even if this isn’t the left’s plan, who’s owning who?"


I shared to my Facebook for the anti vax folks.

2. MUHWAHAHAHA! Now we've got them! The reverse psychology was just a clever ploy! It took

some time, but now it's working. We'll have them all chipped soon!

[Skittles]

3. LOL

so...libs have the power to manipulate Trump humpers into offing themselves

alrighty then

[Crunchy Frog]

4. You expect someone from Breitbart to make sense?

I'm pretty sure that he's using reverse psychology himself. Some of the bad guys are starting to get worried.

[marble falls]

12. Show me the idiot that claims Breitbart makes any level of sense, and I'll alert on them myself.

[Initech]

5. Actually I'd be owned if you didn't get the vaccine.

[struggle4progress]

6. Remember! Those "Danger! Do not enter!" signs at electric substations

are a sneaky liberal trick to get you to electrocute yourself! And those "If swallowed, seek prompt medical attention!" warnings on bottles of drain cleaner are a sneaky liberal trick to get you to poison yourself! And those "Caution! Alligators!" signs ...

[DFW]

7. Some one finally told them?

They can’t own us if they are dead. It must have come as a great revelation.

[Buns_of_Fire]

8. Curses. Foiled again.

And we would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for that pesky John Nolte.

[Renew Deal]

9. He's trying to kill them by telling them to do the one thing that would save them.

Here’s a crazy idea… maybe they can admit he’s right when he tells them to take the vaccine. Nolte clearly agrees with Biden.

This is a demonstration of their twisted lives.

[Fullduplexxx]

11. Yes line up for your joe biden approved democrat shot now with extra soros tracking chips

But do it after nov 2022

[ananda]

13. Lol. There's some truth there.

They will never own the libs by not getting vaxxed,
that's for sure.

[Midnight Writer]

14. Reverse-reverse psychology. Well played.

15. The battle of wits has begun.

Man in Black: The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right... and who is dead.

Vizzini: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool. You would have counted on it. So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

Man in Black: You've made your decision then?

Vizzini: Not remotely. Because iocaine comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.

Man in Black: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

Vizzini: Wait til I get going! Now, where was I?

Man in Black: Australia.

Vizzini: Yes, Australia. And you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

Man in Black: You're just stalling now.

Vizzini: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

Man in Black: You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work.

Vizzini: It has worked! You've given everything away! I know where the poison is!

16. I would love it if they all got vaccinated...

although their survival could be a regrettable side effect.
