Summary

The article discusses the impact of COVID-19 on Republican voters, suggesting that their deaths due to vaccine refusal are beneficial for the country by preventing them from voting for policies or individuals that the author perceives as promoting hatred, racism, and violence.

Abstract

The author of the article expresses a viewpoint that the death of Republican voters who refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccine is a positive development for the USA. These deaths are seen as a natural consequence of their actions, which include denial of science, promotion of hatred, and opposition to vaccination. The article argues that with fewer such individuals alive, there will be a reduced risk of them contributing to authoritarian governance, terrorism, or other forms of political and social unrest. It also criticizes Republican pundits and politicians for their role in spreading misinformation about the pandemic and vaccines, despite some of them being vaccinated themselves. The author cites statistics and expert opinions to support the claim that the pandemic is disproportionately affecting conservative populations, potentially influencing future elections. The tone is unsympathetic, asserting that those who adhere to a political ideology that the author equates with a "suicide cult" and "lethal belief system" are undeserving of empathy.

Opinions

  • The author believes that the death of Republican voters who refuse the COVID-19 vaccine is a cause for celebration, as it reduces the number of people who might support what they consider to be harmful political agendas.
  • There is a perception that Republicans are hypocritical and lack accountability, as evidenced by some pundits and politicians who are vaccinated yet publicly discourage others from getting vaccinated.
  • The article suggests that the high death toll among Republicans due to COVID-19 is a direct result of their rejection of science and responsible health behaviors, such as wearing masks and practicing social distancing.
  • The author implies that the Republican Party's electoral prospects are being negatively impacted by the pandemic, as the demographic most affected by COVID-19 deaths aligns with their voter base.
  • The author expresses a clear political bias, equating conservative ideologies with negative traits such as racism, violence, and authoritarianism.
  • There is an underlying theme that the pandemic is serving as a form of natural selection, weeding out individuals whose beliefs and actions are detrimental to society.
  • The article concludes with a sarcastic note, suggesting that if the fear of death prompts unvaccinated Republicans to get vaccinated, their lives would be saved as an unintended consequence of the author's celebration of their potential demise.

Every Republican Voter Dead From COVID Helps the USA

One less radical to storm the capitol, attend a mass spreader event, or vote for a white supremacist

When I was growing up, the other kids would mock you for studying for a test. Then the test would come and they would all fail and those of us that studied would get good grades.

Those of us that studied went on to college, got great jobs, got married, and had wonderful lives. Those that mocked us for studying are sitting at home, broke, drunk, singing karaoke at the local dive bar, and voting Republican.

Do I wish for people to die? No.

Do I wish for people to be held accountable for their actions? Yes.

When those actions involve hatred, racism, and violence, it’s an emphatic yes.

So, when I see scores of Republicans dying because they’re too ignorant and proud to admit they were wrong and take a vaccine, I celebrate. Good bye tough guys! You’re dead and that means you won’t be around to vote us into an authoritarian dictatorship or commit a terrorist action against an abortion clinic or lead an armed march against a government building. The world is better off without you. Good riddance.

Too little, too late

A couple of the idiotic pundits are starting to see the light and look at the numbers. These are the ones who are at least cognizant enough of the basics of mathematics so they can cheat on their income taxes.

The numbers don’t lie. Republicans are dying in droves. A couple of the loudmouths are going, “Whoops!” But since they lack the ethics to admit they’ve been pushing lies for the last few years, their response is too tepid to save anyone.

Now that the COVID casualties are piling up in deep red states rather than liberal cities on the coasts they are finding their pandemic humanity. And so politics may well be driving the Republican about-face as elected officials recognize that people are dying and many of those are potential Republican voters in 2022 and beyond — Elaine Kamarck, COVID-19 is crushing red states. Why isn’t Trump turning his rallies into mass vaccination sites?

Their evil messaging has quickly come back to roost. Normally it takes decades before you start noticing that selfish Republican policies are directly tormenting the people in your community. The passage of decades makes it easy to obfuscate culpability. But not this time.

Dead from COVID.

Refused a vaccine.

Even a twit that believes Bible class should be taught instead of mathematics can understand that equation. Well, some of them.

Hypocrites and liars

When I look at conservatives in general, it’s impossible not to become infuriated at the grand hypocrisy. Their proposals are so clearly contradictory and nonsensical that it doesn’t seem they should be able to get out of bed and tie their shoes in the morning. Yet somehow they manage to get through life and get named to the offices of power like… I don’t know… the president of the United States.

It shouldn’t be possible. The absurdity of their inherent beliefs should derail them.

I’m reminded of the flat-Earther who thought he’d build a rocket to prove the Earth was flat. I chortled at that! Building a rocket is DANGEROUS and anyone who renounces science to the point where they believe the Earth is flat who decides to build a rocket should rightfully find himself incinerated in the resulting, inevitable inferno.

“Mad” Mike Hughes finally launched his homemade rocket into the sky, with him aboard, in an attempt to prove that the Earth is indeed as flat as a pancake.

The launch, which took place on Saturday afternoon in the Mojave Desert in California sent Mad Mike 1,875 feet into the sky in his big green rocket. The rocket, labeled with “RESEARCH FLAT EARTH”, operated surprisingly smoothly given it was homemade and built on a very small budget — Flat Earth Rocket Man Finally Blasts Off In Homemade Rocket To Prove Earth Is Flat

No, you don’t get to launch a homemade rocket based on flat Earth ideology and have it not blow up. No! The problem is that other, dumber (because some conservatives are really stupid and others are just putting us on) will take this as a proof of concept.

If your homemade rocket doesn’t explode, it’s because you KNOW enough science to KNOW the Earth isn’t flat and you’re a FRAUD!

The same thing is true of all the Republican pundits in the media who rage about the dangers of vaccines and are themselves vaccinated.

They’re liars!

COVID-19 kills Republicans

This hasn’t been a secret. Liberals have been doing everything they can to save Republican lives. We wear our masks, we practice social distancing, we get the vaccine.

Republicans turn around and rip off our masks, cough in our faces, and call us “sheep!”

Here’s the result:

“The pandemic is going to take a greater toll on the conservative electorate leading into this election — and that’s simply just a calculation of age,” Andrew Johnson, the lead author and a professor of management at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, said in an interview. “The virus is killing more older voters, and in many states that’s the key to a GOP victory.” — Christopher Cadelago, Study: Elderly Trump voters dying of coronavirus could cost him in November

Uh-oh. Heck, even Trump is weakly telling people to get vaccinated at his loser rallies (and getting booed for the trouble). But little by little, the numbers are emerging and the numbers don’t lie:

Thus far, pandemic deaths have been fairly evenly spread, because COVID-19 hit blue states like New York and New Jersey early. Now conservative Mississippi has shot to the top of the state death rankings, with Louisiana and Alabama not far behind. Biden’s 2020 margin of victory in the three key states of Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia combined was only about 44,000 votes. Something like 53,000 people have already died in those three states — and it seems safe to assume the people dying there and in other swing states are disproportionately Republicans — Conservative media is killing Republican voters the party can ill afford to lose

The good news is that all these Republicans dead from COVID-19 won’t be around to vote in the members of their world death society in 2022.

Of course, they’ll just scream “VOTER FRAUD!” again instead of acknowledging the real reason.

Celebrate all the conservatives who finally get to meet their god

If your political ideology is a suicide cult then you don’t deserve to be around for the next election. Most of the time, Republicans say one thing and then do something else. But in this case, the lethality of COVID-19 is forcing them to reap immediate consequences for their idiotic belief system.

The reason I’m celebrating this is because it means they won’t be around long enough to impose their lethal belief system on me.

Let them die.

Burn the bodies.

Put the ashes in a rocket ship.

Shoot the rocket ship into the sun.

No statues. No ceremony. No visitation. No memorial.

Dead gone, forgotten, hallelujah!

As for me, I don’t want to die. I don’t want my kids to die. I don’t sit around reading the Bible wishing to talk to a white supremacist version of a supreme being. I don’t want to force other people to do all these things to pave the way before me.

Congratulations idiots, your backwards philosophy has finally come around to bite you on the butt. This time you’re not the drunk driver who gets to walk away without a scratch while the innocent family ends up in the morgue. You’re the one pushing for a seat on the alien spacecraft. Good for you. Have a great flight.

I’m glad you won’t be around to infect my children and cut short their lives. Some of us try to be responsible. Some of us try to be decent. Some of us try to do the right thing. It’s good to see, for once, the evil people suffer the consequences of their own selfishness.

*If you read this and you get angry enough to go and get the vaccine just so you can stick around and vote in the midterms…I just saved your life. You’re welcome.
