Diseases like flu and COVID kill more elderly than anyone else.
Someone remind me who the big Republican voter base is again…
Shhhhhh!
As sad as this sounds, the elderly also vote. And in most parts of the U.S., the older voters skew solidly to the right.
That was my point. Can’t vote if you’re dead.
Ahhh. I missed your last sentence there. Well put.
Sooo do they know that the FDA and CDC advice against ingesting raw sewage? Perhaps that is another thing they just do not want you to have. Maybe they should try that, too.
So this “Turning Point” is about turning to the worst?
Always has been.
If some conservatives absolutely insist on lowering their own population, who am I to stop them? Actually, the louder I beg them to stop and follow the science, the more aggressively they seem to be killing themselves…
Guys! Stop! Don’t do it!!!
Killing people off in conservative areas just further entrenches conservatism there. It’s a lot easier to get 10,000 people to do what you want than it is to get 100,000.
And even if Wyoming or South Dakota only have a few thousand people they still get a representative, two senators, and three electoral college votes.
Two downsides are that they take healthcare resources to be treated for their own stupidity, and if they have kids I feel sorry for the kids.
Seems like a problem that will solve itself.
Democrats said not to, said there’s a virus spreading through raw milk and it could be dangerous. That was all it took. That was the only thing Republicans needed to hear to institutionally embrace Raw Milk.
Democrats should try launching a “Don’t jump off of cliffs onto sharp rocks” campaign. “It’s not safe. The science is clear, gravity is real, and the sharp rocks will hurt or kill you. Just don’t do it. It’s not about restrictions versus freedom, just don’t jump off of cliffs onto sharp rocks.” The next week TPUSA would run an article on how to own the libs at the five highest cliffs in the country.
Democrats should run ads that say “Republicans say they don’t plan to vote in November, but here’s the reasons why they should”, and just list stuff that’s good for society.
Republicans would never vote again.
Yknow what I hate, man? Social security and universal Healthcare
Fuck those things so hard! I also despise higher capital gains taxes and raising minimum wage! Boo lesser wealth inequality
Ok but gravity is less supported by science than evolution by means of natural and sexual selection. That means theyre more prone to believe in it. “We don’t know how or why it works, Jesus is why”
Haven’t seen enough talk about this, but how much of the Republican under-performance in the midterms is down to Republicans being more likely to die during the pandemic? And Covid is still killing people, and about 43% more of those currently dying are republicans rather then democrats - I wouldn’t be surprised if that winds up being a critical factor in the next election.
when i see this carp, all i can think of is:
Even the best-behaved children can be difficult and challenging at times. But oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) includes a frequent and ongoing pattern of anger, irritability, arguing and defiance toward parents and other authority figures. ODD also includes being spiteful and seeking revenge, a behavior called vindictiveness.
ODD somehow is about the only way I’ve found to successfully make me study; it does not, however, make one stupid (or suicidal, usually). Red hatters do that to themselves.
I was ‘diagnosed’ with ODD at a young age. The reason is because I could clearly see when adults were lying and trying to manipulate me.

that doesn’t seem to be the case here; drinking raw milk is dangerous.
Oh no, I totally understand that. Just trying to provide my viewpoint on a bogus ‘diagnosis’.
When I see this carp, all I can think is I would have preferred salmon.
(I’m sorry I’ll see myself out)
(Also your point is very legit)
lol, fixed!
Even the best-behaved children
Ahaha!
Now, does this still apply when they’re knowingly being The Worst to pander?
They’re really set on decimating their voter base.
I’m okay with that part, but the flu virus mutating inside them and spreading to non-idiots is what worries me.
Well, at least there’s a vaccine.
With a high likelihood a pandemic is unavoidable considering how widespread eg. H5N1 is in animal populations, and it’s just a question of “when” not “if” – and it’ll probably kill a lot of people. Infection fatality rates are hard to predict, but for H5N1 I’ve seen estimates along the lines of 1 – 10%, with most probable being something in the range 1 – 3%. IFR should not be confused with the current case fatality rate which is around 50%. Those are just the bad cases that we know of and who end up in hospital, but the number of infections is probably higher.
The only good thing about it is that reich-wingers are less likely to get a vaccine, meaning they’ll be more likely to die. Also doing idiotic shit like drinking raw milk from infected cows will mean more fatalities. Yes, it increases the chances of a mutation that’ll enable human-to-human transmission, but as I said that’s going to happen sooner or later anyhow.
As long as they cut down their base by 1/10th I think the statement is accurate!
What they really want is their base to think “the big bad fda is trying to control them.”
This way, when their party dismantles the fda (in the interest of no longer regulating corporations on animal treatment or food or drug quality) their supporters cheer, as the food they are sold increases in price for continuous drop in quality and safety.
Followed by the unregulated sale of placebo drugs making unrequited claims with with no studies on health or side effects required, the banning of generics, so on and so forth
After bleach drinking raw milk is nothing
It’s got what plants crave!
Oh fuck those guys!
Now it’s gonna be like anybody wearing a red hat, or Hindus and swastikas.
I drink raw milk because I know where it comes from, and for some reason it cures my lactose intolerance.
I don’t really understand it, and by really I mean like not at all, maybe whatever a probiotic is?
Idk, I just know that if I drink it every now and then, then it lets me drink regular store milk without getting sick, but it’s local and tastes better so🤷
Seems fine to me. This was like when the Republicans refused to vax only to end up killing themselves. Let them fuck around. They’ll find out soon enough.
But this article is a hell of a leap if all they got is that shirt.

Unfortunately, that’s not the full picture. People got infected and transmitted to a lot of other people, and a lot of innocents ended up dead.
When it comes to bird flu, more people being inconsequential about it, and deliberately getting it gives the virus a greater chance to develop mutations, and maybe affecting us in the long run. This is a really dangerous thing, and those people are doing something that puts us all in risk.
I asked my wife what was with all the raw milk promotion lately. We drove through rural MO and stores had “raw milk sold here” on signage.
What the fuck is wrong with people.
Leaded gasoline and inbreeding
Catastrophically eroded trust in institutions.
Maybe this rising fascism problem will solve itself.
It ultimately does sooner or later, but it can often take the rest of society with it. That’s why accelerationism doesn’t work.
Fascism has never solved itself, though. There has never been a peaceful cure for conservatism, unfortunately.
That’s what we all thought when covid happened, and they decided they wouldn’t do anything to avoid it, and started taking horse dewormers.
