If you think I am an evil person for having zero sympathy for the deaths of anti-vaxxers, so be it.
They are killing innocent people by spreading a fatal disease, and I have no more sympathy for them than I would for any other serial killer.
At this point, the facts are in. Hospitals are overwhelmed by Covid deniers, and people in dire need of medical care are being turned away because doctors and medical staff are having to treat idiots too stupid to warrant their attention.
Every time I read about an anti-vaxxer dying, my only thought is that they're hopefully freeing-up a hospital bed for someone who deserves it.
I am no more apologetic than I am empathetic. Those who have chosen to commit suicide-by-stupidity have not only decided their own fate, they have decided the fate of those they have infected.
I used to consider myself to be a decent human being. I have now become someone who believes that human decency does not include those willing to watch their fellow citizens die in order to prove a point that was spoon-fed to them by politicians who have no point at all.

31. We continue to allow the major cause for "suicide by stupidity" to run unchecked.
Many, if not most, are willing victims of the nonsense that is allowed to be broadcast over the nation's networks by unscrupulous extreme right wing organizations that are driven by greed and a political agenda. Reagan paved the way for this catastrophe when he repealed the laws that allowed for this type of demagoguery to be challenged. What is happening today is the product of over 50 years of Republican determination to establish a virtual dictatorship under their control. The control of the airwaves is the trojan horse that they rode under the guise of their First Amendment Rights to gain control of the minds of millions of delusional citizens. We have been warned by some of our most notable fellow citizens of the what was transpiring and in large part most have simply ignored it.

7. You're still a decent human being
On some level I pity those who have been brain-washed by infotainment media, but I lost patience a long time ago. Most are hopelessly lost.
I no longer will allow myself to get drawn into a battle with someone who thinks they're getting facts from those "sources" that spread the idiocy. The parties have to agree on what the facts actually are before there can be a real discussion.

8. COVID vaccine refusers deaths might be a way way to remove some American morons.
Hope they stay home to die and not clog our hospitals.

12. With you.
I gradually removed myself from my white supremacist family throughout my life. The last 5 years have all but taken away my hope in Humanity; I may not have cared for people very much but my faith in the inherent goodness of Humanity is what kept me going. The last 5 years showed me HOW VERY MANY SELFISH, CRUEL, HOPELESS (and often evil) ASSHOLES THERE ARE.
The people we can now label as MAGA but who have always been here; the QAnon cultists who had the seeds of Othering within them this entire time which made them vulnerable to the Nazi cult; and, perhaps most of all, everyone who excuses and enables their behavior and their worldview which is, literally, killing us and has been gradually for a long time. It has simply accelerated, and now all of our children and grandchildren are in grave danger thanks to the absolute shit human beings around us. I've been vocally promoting shunning for a while now.
They can (and have) called me the intolerant one, the Nazi, the one lacking empathy.
I don't really care any more. I still don't wish suffering or death upon anyone. But I do daydream throughout each day that we lived in a separate universe from such people.
The people who say climate change is a hoax, that most people are lazy slackers who just want free stuff, that the pandemic is a hoax, that their "immune system is strong," that wearing a mask takes away their freedom and their kids' freedom, etc., etc.
**** them. Their way of seeing and being in the world is what is making it more hellacious than it needs to be for the rest of us.
There are people who are afraid of getting the vaccine for valid reasons for which I can have compassion (e.g., they can't afford time off of work if they get sick). We know the logical response is it won't matter if they're dead or if they infect a loved one. But when you're in the throes of daily survival, logic often takes a back seat and you deal with what is right in front of you, until you have to deal with the next crisis literally at your door (if you're fortunate enough to have a door).
Being human on this planet is hard enough without half of the humans making it SOOOOOOOO MUCH HARDER. I just wish they'd ****ing go away. I wish their faith in the Rapture were real and they'd just go away.
Then we could do the work of reducing suffering and working toward more people thriving rather than merely barely surviving instead of fighting selfish, nihilistic, willfully delusional assholes every which way we turn, on all levels.
I don't care why they are the way they are. I've spent a lifetime dealing with it, often with extreme compassion. It never, ever changes them. They have chosen to watch media that reinforces their delusion and anger and hatefulness; no one has made them. They choose to be hateful and have descended into some weird hell that every single thing they do is driven by their hatred of libruls. They don't even know what shit even means any more, since they call us socialists, communists, fascists and Nazis, all in the same breath.
**** them, one and all. I've watched this hatred infect three generations in my life time. They are not welcome in any space I'm in and I will do what I must to protect my grandson and other innocents.
Thanks for the space to vent since I've removed myself from all other spaces...lol

23. Same boat here
I am in the same boat.
The wife accuses me of being as bad as the other side for having no sympathy for them.
I have sacrificed so much, ...my kids have lost valuable learning and parts of their childhood because of these morons.
You can't fix stupid was a comedian tag line. I feel like that.
You can't fix stupid do turn them away from the hospital. Let trump, Pompeii, death sentence, and Holstein heal them.
:whatever:

39. They are self-exterminating...
They are self-exterminating for the good of the future of the planet. And we will all emerge for the better. So, just sit still and wait for this Darwinian exercise to complete itself.

I don't care about what DU's chief Word Salad Spinner (marketed by Rumco, :-) ) thinks. She's off in Canuckia, far from the hospitals she fantasizes are "overwhelmed by Covid deniers". Data from my usual non-political source shows four facts, of which DU's chief Word Salad Spinner shows herself ignorant:
1. Daily new cases appear to have peaked and be decreasing;
2. Daily deaths appear to have peaked and be decreasing;
3. Daily new cases peaked well below the peak of the winter surge;
4. Daily deaths peaked far below the peak of the winter surge.
Since both daily new cases are well below what hospitals handled back in December and January, and daily deaths show that Covid is being far less deadly, the data indicates that US hospitals are not "overwhelmed by Covid deniers" or by Covid patients in general.
Like I said above, DU's chief Word Salad Spinner is marketed by Rumco, :-) , :rotf: .

Nance continues to lie. She and her fellow leftists have continuously expressed their desire that those who politically oppose them either die or be sent to re-education camps. C19 and the vaccine has just provided them an excuse for being more blatant about their true feelings.

now let's do heroin addicts who intentionally pump poison into their bodies daily and we are supposed to be sympathetic to their "disease"...

I think the homeless should quit defecating in the streets and should seek local support, which should include job training when necessary, and should be forced to move along whenever they literally set up camp.
I think anyone who stood in line at the Gucci store to buy a belt and a wallet so they can appear affluent rather than pay rent should be evicted post haste without a single care for where they end up. In fact, see above.
I think anyone who contracts HIV of their own volition, laziness, and stupidity should pay for his own drugs and treatment without a cent of help from the government or subsidies from healthcare providers.
I think anyone who breaks the law by improperly crossing our border should be sent back immediately, and dropped in the ocean on the second offense.
I think any woman who becomes pregnant due to laziness and stupidity should have to take her chances by performing her own abortion, so that she alone bears the consequence of her actions.
I could go on, but I freely accept her argument so long as my arguments exist as well.

This is what reminded me of the old scratch a liberal, find a fascist line I put in another post, but lurkers need as many reminders as possible that silencing people you disagree with is a top trait of despots and tyrants.

Nance.....we don't think you're an evil person. We know you're an evil person. We also know that you're a narcissistic drunkard without the common sense god gave a potted fern. Same level of intelligence of that potted fern.

"Besotted fool" is apt.

How racist, Drunken Aunt Nance!
Latest CDC data shows the following:
Whites and Asians make up the largest populations who HAVE been vaccinated this far.
Hispanics and Blacks are the lowest of the major demographics.
This data gets spun depending on who reports it. Found the large spreadsheet from the CDC, which is put together in typical governmental clusterf*ck fashion. Nowhere on their site is there a handy dashboard showing the exact data.
Doubtful any of you nor a DUmmy would care to download it. But considering I work with Excel constantly, it was at least comprehensible to me.

I wonder why no one ever challenges her idiocy over there.
I've seen a few over the years who push back on the general stupidity over there, but they never seem to tell her what an idiot she is, and 9 times out of 10, she's spreading complete and utter BS thinking she's the literary artist of the century.

Sheep bleating about how great it is to be sheep while being docilely led to the slaughterhouse.
They tried the world these people want. It was called the USSR and created more misery and death than any regime that ever existed in human history.

Better yet, a $500 hair dye/braid job. If you got one of those you do not need welfare nor rent protection.

Mao Zedong disputes that title, but two different peas in the same DUmmie-pod.

I don't wonder at all. DUmbasses see a kindred spirit in the drunkard and agree with all she says. To them what the Besotted One posts is the gospel and cannot be disagreed with. They can't or refuse to see just how idiotic her musings are.
