At some point in the next couple of years, Democrats will normalize ignoring covid. One day it will stop being brought up in White House press sessions. Cable news will stop talking about. Joe will give some speech about how it's time to put this behind us and look towards more important matters (hint: it will be about war with other countries). If you have any questions you'll be directed to the CDC website. It's up to your state and local governments to put out information about your local area. Local news will probably still cover it. Kind of like wake up and get your morning Covid forecast.
All this death. All of Trump's shit. All of the primaries and election. Storming the capitol, open up, everything. All just some footnote in a history book that nobody reads. We just go back to arguing over Iran or whatever country is unlucky enough to be the stage for a new Cold War. There will be Jacobin articles about how covid was never really fixed and we'll share them and rant with each other about how nobody remembers or cares.
Are you saying you want a lockdown that would quickly and painlessly end the pandemic while making the entire mask culture war irrelevant? Wouldn't you rather live in a world where an increasingly desperate and confused population starts latching onto insane conspiracy theories and preparing to commit the worst pogroms in history?
okay, yeah, fine, i guess. but ONLY for the pogroms and conspiracies. and only because we, for the first time in history, get to have real lizard people.
thank you CRISPR
I overheard someone at work talking about CRISPR. I didn't hear the specifics, but I know it was stupid. Is there some really dumb idea going around that I should know about?
what? no you can just shoot yourself some lizard genes now. it won't necessarily do anything, but you can have them. if you want.
"Literally a million people have died!"
"That's what you said about Iraq too, come up with a new argument already."
You mean the government will put Dr. Fauci in charge of controlling its response to a deadly disease that it ignores? :thinky-felix:
It’s a vaccine tracker now. Gotta show your voters you’re doing the bare minimum to make yourselves look competent.
I saw a recent clip of them with it just the other day, probably on Majority Report.
Yeah, here: https://youtu.be/KSb1zeIBcLQ
COVID stats and stories already moved lower and lower on the NYT homepage
damn this is the shit i hate thinking about. literally rather have nazi jackboots kicking in my door because at least i could do something about that :doomjak:
Depressing...that's how you know it'll come true.
"I, Donald J Trump, am taking very strong 💪 action to neutralize the very powerful threat 🦠 to our great country. 🇺🇲 I hereby am issuing several executive orders to ensure safety for our fabulous people. ☝️First, we will close all non-essential services for the next month. It will not be easy, but America is great and can and will overcome!✌️Secondly, I am suspending ❌ all loan and mortgage payments while we are shut down to prevent hard working Americans from having their livelihoods stolen from them. 👉 Lastly, we will be issuing $3000 tax returns 💵 to ALL Americans to make sure everyone can survive the coming hardship. America has endured great challenges throughout history and will prevail again! God bless America! 🇺🇲"
That's like 3ish tweets? Literally Donald Trump could have saved like 500,000 lives while taking a dump. Instead of calling the virus a liberal hoax, all those anti-mask & 5G-causes-covid people would be instead proudly never leaving the house and reporting their neighbor walking their dog for anti-American activities.
All this shit could've been avoided.
Now, we'll be fighting for healthcare for all the people finding out their lungs are permanently fucked just as a new variant covid-24 with a modified spike protein evades all our vaccines and starts the
2nd3rd4th5th9th 👈 wave. President Kamala gives an impassioned speech on how we need $1000 stimulus checks. If you complain on Twitter, the libs pounce to remind you that it's better than Republican nominee Tucker Carlson's plan to make food out of homeless people. Sigh.
