re: #97 Targetpractice

The GQP are a cargo cult, one that seems to believe that if they just replicate the circumstances that led to “success” in the past, then said “success” will return.

So they demand that the masks and social distancing go away, the signs and bulletins reminding people about the dangers of COVID taken down, the staff stripped of any protection measures, and all talk of vaccines removed, in the hope that magically all of this will lead to people just going “back to normal” and the economy booming…but only in red states.

While some may think that the virus will only kill “those people” and not people they care about, most just want to vainly chase this belief that dragging us back to “normal” will lead not only to economic but political success when compared to the “perpetual pandemic” they claim Dems want the country to remain in.

They are lied to by GOP politicians that things will go back to normal if you ignore everything going on.

GOP politicians know they are lying. Lying is part of exercising power over others, the actual and only point of conservatism.

But conservative voters are not helpless; they actively seek out the liars who will lie to them.

It is tough, I get it, but people need to tell their friends and family they are being lied to and why. They also need to be prepared to shun liars from their lives.
