So you think it’s a bad idea which in your mind is cool.  We think it’s a bad idea we’re horrified of the intrusion. 
 

Well isn’t this the epitome of partisan bull spit.  
 

Yes people, like you, need to grow up. 🙄

You are ignoring my point. 
Bad policies are everywhere. Bad policy is not “evil.” Mask mandates in many (I’d say most) situations are

bad policy because the evidence that they substantially reduce transmission is weak. Wearing a mask is not so onerous that it somehow vaults into the category of “evil” or “a horrific intrusion on my civil liberties.” As

i said, it’s akin to making a chef wear a

chef’s hat. Or depending on the establishment, a trucker cap. 
The state has always in America had the power to create rules governing the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens. And if the voters don’t like those rules they can vote their politicians out, or as Reaganites used to say, vote with their feet. I hear some people here have found El Dorado in DeSantisland. Hop on the train.

Over 70 votes Republican. 

 

Nice work low info dupe Bill..

 

There aren't many Ds over 70.

 

That's some real deal investigative work that accomplishes absolutely nothing and serves zero purpose.   

 

Much like you.  

 

 

 

I can play with statistics to.

 

Why are all the deep blue ***t holes seeing the highest covid spikes on the planet?  

 

Ohio is unfortunately in the crosswind of the aresolized virus they think they're eradicating.

This kind of sums things up the official view on policy discussions.  The science is settled. Until it changes.  But if you question it now, you’re anti-science, even if the science later agrees with you.

This is how it works.  If you suggest something that isn't officially sanctioned people will argue that you are wrong and uninformed.  Then the government changes their minds and agrees with what you said.  Then the people that used to argue with you now agree with what you said before.  But will not acknowledge you were correct before.  And maybe you might be on to something or know what you're taking about.  Because you are anti-science.

You still will not be able to find this clip anywhere.  It is scrubbed from existence - I had to do some serious digging but got it

OK, to better understand these responses I will categorize them, ranging from completely unhinged, to almost reasonable in theory 

but ridiculous in application,

to utterly ignorant and willfully stupid. 

 

Category A - The Qovid Brigade. 
Characterized by extreme paranoia and sometimes oblique references to sinister forces that “created” the virus, that are using it for world domination, that they are using vaccines to implant chips in you (the old version) or to permanently rearrange your DNA (the nouveau edition), etc. Generally harmless, often amusing, that is until stirred up by certain Trumps or Flynns, spun around a few times, and pointed in the general direction of the Capitol with pointy flagpoles and (Trump’s term) trashy appearances.  
 

Category B - The Un-Self-Aware Marxist. You may recognize this type in the wild by frequent references to “Big Pharma” and a bizarre fixation with how many shots you may need to maintain a reasonable level of immunity. They do not realize they are often parroting standard Marxist critiques of capitalism; this lack of self-awareness is apparent as soon as you read their anti-wokeness/anti-CRT posts. Like all true conspiracists,

every data point just proves their theory. We learn that immunity begins to fade after 4 months and a booster may be needed? The ordinary observer says, “well, yes, I guess that’s to be expected with a novel virus and a new vaccine - we will continue to learn with experience.” The Cat B conspiracist will instead say, “Hah! They suckered you in with that first shot or two, told you you’d be good, and now they spring a third shot on you; funny how it’s all good for Big Pharma’s business plan.” Likewise mutations in the virus are

immediately suspect: even if they didn’t create them, they are exploiting them to make you continue to buy their products. This group is therefore susceptible to bad or quack remedies (“you know why they’re hiding that horse dewormer from us; it’s because they can’t make enough money off selling that”) even though they will likely support quack remedy peddler Dr. Oz in his run for the Senate. 
 

Category C -  The Poor Man’s Chomskyite. Harder to recognize, but not so hard when you know what to look for. It is straight out of the Manufacturing Consent playbook. Unlike Cat A or Cat B specialists, this type doesn’t focus on individual villains like Bill Gates or even on specific corporate entities like Big Pharma. It is somewhat more sophisticated, suggesting there’s a deep state infecting all our institutions in which compliance with silly little annoyances (hey, get yer COVID vaccine along with your flu shot and your viagra or birth control prescriptions!; hey, put on a mask when you leave that restaurant table to go to the restroom!) are only there to lower your resistance to state power and to create a compliant society. First they came for the mask wearers, but I didn’t really mind wearing a mask so I didn’t protest. Then they came for the unvaccinated,

but I get all my vaccines anyway so I didn’t protest. Now they’re coming to try to make me watch MSNBC and like it, and it’s too late to stop them!!

 

Category D - The COVID Luddites. These folks often blend seamlessly into the other categories. But here’s what separates them: an intense fear of progress and an even more intense distrust of science and technology. They could not continue on this path if they had sufficient training in the scientific method and statistical inference. They say things like, “50 

percent of people hospitalized with COVID were vaccinated, so obviously the vaccine is utterly useless” and when you explain their error there is not even the faintest glimmer of recognition. 
 

All Categories are impervious to logic,

although in different ways. A and B share the true conspiracy nut’s zeal; just try convincing a 9/11 truther that some sinister force other than Islamic

militant wasn’t behind it. C is a little more open to reason, but is kind of the opposite side of the critical race

theory adherent - he just can’t see beyond his pat explanation for what makes the world go around. D Is truly a hopeless cause. He knows not and knows not that he knows not. He lacks

the patience or ability (or both) to learn.

You're killing it bro!  YOU ROCK!

 

Pro-Trump counties now have far higher COVID death rates. Misinformation is to blame

No it's not at all like making a chef wear a chef's hat.  Not even close seeing I've worn both.   Try running on a treadmill at the gym with a) a chef's hat and b) a mask.  Once you've done so come back and let us know what you found out.  

 

We'll wait......
