re: #30 Dopamine Fish

When Bubonic Plague 2.0 comes to town, Republicans aren’t going to live long enough to make the same arguments that they did against COVID.

Guess we’re seeing how the right wing lunatics would respond to an actual zombie pandemic.

They’d ignore the problem. They’d say it’d go away after a few cases. They’d say it isn’t serious. They’d blame China (or North Korea or Iran or whatever new bogeyman they come up with).

They’d cling bitterly to their guns, as their ammo runs out, the economy collapses, and people who aren’t vaccinated succumb to the disease knowing that vaccinations save lives but guns wont. Then they’d claim success even as cases continue to simmer deep in to weather that should end the pandemic and blame Fauci because none of their criticism of the president is sticking.

That’s how desperate the GOP and right wing echo chamber is today.
