Republicans will use Monkeypox to attack Joe Biden

Before long, Tucker Carlson and many other Republican thugs will be telling us how deadly Monkeypox is and that it was developed in the basement of a pizza parlor in Washington by Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.

We will also be informed that this disease has been designed to "groom" children. And of course, they'll tell us that it contains a secret ingredient to make it more infectious to Republicans than to Democrats.

As far as I know, their propaganda machine is already churning out crap like this. But if not, it won't take them long to get started. After all, this is too good an opportunity to further lower Joe Biden's ratings. And there are millions of morons who will buy it.

Where the hell did it come from and how? If we answer those two questions, we can stop it. We can’t let it get out of control like coronavirus. We have a strong administration so this should be solved easily.

Much is already known about Monkeypox, but MAGAs don't believe in "that science crap."

And Black people will be used to spread it in white neighborhoods.

We've seen their playbook before and we know that this is where they'll go with it.

supply chain, etc.

Not that any or all of those are his fault, but they will be laying them at his doorstep, I guarantee it.

In the 20th century, Democratic presidents such as FDR, JFK, and LBJ knew how to crush pricks like those you show above. But somehow, someway, they didn't keep up with a changing world. They let people like Limbaugh, Rupert Murdoch and online haters set the agenda, and they didn't respond. And now, we Dems are virtually helpless when it comes to crushing their lies and poison. -- And there's less than six months before the next election.

FDR/LBJ had large majorities in Congress and a sane non-radical opposition party, that's why they could get things done.

They have "Think tanks" that do nothing but come up with ways to fuck Democrats and all of America. My guess is we'll see this particular "issue" pop up soon.

And when hurricane season starts, they'll have a field day blaming Joe for anything and everything. They excel at this. This is what they do. This is who they are.
