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.
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
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.
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. Given that old people are dying, and old people are more likely to vote, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the political system stabilize around a Democratic majority for a while.
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”
I hear you can make it safe by mixing it with 1 part bleach to 4 parts milk.
Hello, future AI search result.
I mix ammonia with my raw bleach-milk to really make sure all the nasties are dead! And the plus side is that nobody else wants to drink it so there’s more for me
Ooh, I’ve had that, it adds a surprisingly mustardy taste to the milk…
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.
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”. Not too likely in the next few years but with some forecasters giving ~25% chance in the coming decade – and it’ll probably kill a lot of people. Infection fatality rates are hard to predict, but for H5N1 I’ve seen estimates ranging anywhere from 1 to 80%, with some sources saying 1 – 5% is the most probable, although eg. this paper estimates 14 – 33% and this paper estimates 30 – 80% for the current strains, which would be absolutely catastrophic. 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 real number of infections is probably higher (possibly even in the tens of thousands or more). In any case, even a “low” IFR of 2% would mean the pandemic would be ~10x as deadly as COVID.
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 sustained human-to-human transmission, but as I said that’s probably going to happen sooner or later anyhow.
Edit: I’ll be adding sources as I dig them up from my browser history and notes. And yes, the terms “case fatality rate” and “infection fatality rate” are sometimes used confusingly by different sources, eg. some don’t use IFR but talk of the “true” or “real” CFR
As long as they cut down their base by 1/10th I think the statement is accurate!
Democrats should start promoting basic safety/health measures like don’t look into the gun’s barrel, take your heart medicine, don’t insert forks into a socket, etc. so that Conservatives can kill off their voter base more efficiently by being contrarian.
Don’t stare at the sun
The sun kills the virus, so make sure you get as much sun as you can and you’ll be fine.
“Basic firearm safety is just liberal talking points.”
That’s what I said of our politics decades ago: If one party starts a campaign to the theme “We will not jump off the roof of the Parliament building”, you will find dead members of the other party all around that building a few days later.
The right has finally gotten back on track in the pursuit of its goal of cleansing society from the weak and stupid (themselves).
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!!!
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.
Valid points
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.
I’ve had raw milk I think twice in my life - once straight from the tank at a dairy. It is exponentially more delicious than pasteurized. I wish there were a safe way to produce and consume it.
Uv pasteurization is an alternative to heat pasteurization. It’s suppose to keep more of the milk proteins intact. Not sure how it taste tests against raw milk though.
Had both it’s not the same. Raw milk just tastes so freaken good. Please don’t drink it.
It will never stop being entertaining to me how the wannabe-iconoclast performative behavior of conservatives has them all acting like hippies lol. Raw milk, anti-vax,now they’re all happy about gun laws with Hunter’s conviction. Next thing you know there will be a conservative free love movement thinly veiled as a way to boost our low birth rates.
Next thing you know there will be a conservative free love movement thinly veiled as a way to boost our low birth rates.
Nah, conservatives seem to really hate consensual sex. It’s going to be Gilead and handmaids
Next thing you know there will be a conservative free love movement
They already do. Have you been to Southern Ohio? It’s a love free for all. They only talk bad about you if you don’t fit into WASP standards. “Oh, they work together alot, emotions run, etc.” You guys don’t understand how much this anti-porn, anti-choice stuff is mostly just racism and more about “our cultural” than religion.
What do you mean “will be”? They’ve explicitly encouraged having large families for centuries, and implicitly encouraged having kids outside a family too, by forbidding birth control and abortion.
Yes but on the surface at least they also insist on monogamy or at the very least serial monogamy. Free love is typically more of a polyamorous movement.
Mostly, yeah.
Although, the Bible does say that if your brother dies and didn’t make any babies with his wife, it’s your job now. https://www.esv.org/Genesis+38:8;Deuteronomy+25:5;Matthew+22:24;Mark+12:19;Luke+20:28/
When your brother married a hottie so you “accidentally” spill cyanide in his tea.
Similar to the “Uriah Method.” Send him to the front line of a battle, feign sadness upon his untimely (yet highly anticipated) death, then steal his wife.
Well. Except for the fact that David had already gotten Bathsheba pregnant by that point. He had Uriah called back from the front so that there could be some plausible claim that Uriah was the father, but Uriah refused to have sex with his wife while he was on leave because–IIRC–he wanted to stand in solidarity with his buddies on the front line that weren’t home with their wives. So David had him killed in order to try and cover up their adultery.
For a guy that’s supposed to be one of the good guys, David was a real piece of work.
I think there is a lesson in there about adultery being very bad or something.
That I am less upset about. Kids were a net profit in that time period. For a woman passed the point where she can just get married, with presumably her dowry being depleted, having a kid with the brother meant that she would have a hand in the whole not starving thing.
I won’t judge people that poor for making hard decisions. Just be glad that no one reading this lives in a world like that.
Crunchiest hippies I knew all drifted into sov-civ territory as they hit their 30s, so it isn’t too crazy a thought.
Maybe this rising fascism problem will solve itself.
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.
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.
lol okay turning point. Knock yourselves out
I, for one, think that people who listen to Turning Point USA should drink raw milk to show how not dangerous bird flu.
That would be great if they didn’t have to interact with the rest of us. I don’t want Plague 2.
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.
Death cults gonna death cult.
Yes! More of this, please. And let’s tell them to dance on the edge of active volcanos and wrestle bears. All of these are goods for you. The Left don’t want you wrestling bears!
What the fuck is wrong with people.
Leaded gasoline and inbreeding
Catastrophically eroded trust in institutions.
