A question about conservative hypocrisy...

I know, I know, there are many questions!!

Since 2020, I have been amazed at all the vaccine critics and mask critics who screamed about "government control," whatever that means. But those same people seem to rush to the doctor all the time. Whenever I ask one of them about that on Facebook, I either get a word salad or a deflection. I don't get it.

Here in NC, due to hurricanes and storms off the coast, the Outer Banks beaches have been closed to swimming a lot this summer. I wonder if any conservatives think that that is the government trying to keep people out of the ocean because reasons. I haven't heard of any massive anti-government sentiment about that.

Or about hurricane or tornado warnings. Are there conservatives who scream that hurricane warnings are all a Big Government lie? If so, I haven't really seen much of that!

My question - why are they willing to accept SOME government information, but not all of it? When I point out that Trump was president during the first year of the pandemic, I get deer-in-headlights looks.

...Searching ...searching ...searching

Nope; not finding a thing.

Bad premise. I don’t trust the info coming from the gov’t unless I can find compelling evidence to support what I’m hearing from the gov’t. That viewpoint is not even the 4,628,719th cousin to saying the gov’t always lies.

I would remind the primitives that following 9/11, the gov’t said it was planned and carried out in secret by Islamic terrorists while the prevailing view of Skin’s island was that Bush either knew or planned it all out. 

And there’s never a reason to trust the gov’t when Democrats hold power. Democrats lie. All the time. They lie. I’ve caught Dems and leftists in so many lies that I will never trust them again. They did it to themselves.

These vaccine critics and mask critics are not screaming about using medicine and doctors. They are protesting government-imposed mask and vaccine mandates.. They are protesting the use of government force, not the existence of medicines and doctors, which/whom they may use by their own choice.

No hypocrisy, just Prog moronicity and dishonest straw-man arguments.

A question about left-wing... let's call them "tendencies":

Why is it that when someone on the left has a question abut the right, they ask other people on the left?

Because they want an answer that agrees with thier own views.

And as SVPete has pointed out we go get medical attention when we think we NEED it not when the goobermint forces us to against our own will.

Since 2020:

Conspiracy theorists 98.9% correct.
Government alphabet agencies, the "media", fact "checkers", and "experts" 0.1% correct.

Those numbers don't add up to 100% because I hired a woman to do the math.  Just kidding, I don't hire women.
