These people's brains have been warped by social media propaganda and I don't think there's any going back. If it doesn't take thousands or even hundreds of thousands dying needlessly for them to realize this anti-vaccine movement is bullshit, will anything?

as due to covid. Heart attacks, car accidents, cancer… are all being reported as covid deaths. They seem to believe there is a huge conspiracy between hospitals, morgues, medical examiners, and coroners. They are truly delusional.

This is sick and bizarre. It should be outright illegal to do this sort of thing. We have gone through the looking glass.

hermetically sealed echo chamber of shitbaggery where no one disagrees with them to any real substantive level. In fact, their interactions with even more (than they are themselves) deranged, barking mad scum increases their own detachment from reality.

I've seen literally every hateful, spiteful meme they put out and they all pat themselves on the back for it. It's a self-congratulating circle jerk. Of course that is until it's too late.

with the federal government. They're begging for it. Maybe they don't want to wait for their crooked elections to deliver. I keep thinking of Scooter Libby's note to Judith Miller, where he talks about how the aspens all turn together because their roots connect them.

You know, the Dalton Gardens that Rep. Vito Barbieri hails from.

Vito Barbieri you ask?

That would be the same Vito Barbieri who in 2015 seemed to have some trouble with female anatomy and what connects to what:

Barbieri came to national attention on February 23, 2015, after asking a doctor giving testimony if a woman could swallow a camera in order to undergo a remote gynecological exam and received the answer that such was not possible as swallowing a pill will not lead it to the vagina. In response to commentary on social media about the seeming anatomical confusion, he explained his remarks: "I was being rhetorical, because I was trying to make the point that equalizing a colonoscopy to this particular procedure was apples and oranges... So I was asking a rhetorical question that was designed to make her say that they weren't the same thing, and she did so. It was the response I wanted."

After that bit of spin from him, Rachel Maddow had something to say also:



ahh, Northern Idaho, gorgeous country but full of nuts.
