Sorry to learn that Karen Carter Peterson lost.
Yeah. The Republicans in Jefferson parish and me pulled him through. He actually has a fairly respectable “pro-life” rating. He has not been known to have women’s backs at all.
Anti-vaxxers wearing the yellow star of david hit me hard.
I saw that yesterday. It’s from London which just goes to show that the US isn’t the only place with right wingers that just don’t get what the symbols they adopt mean.
That first cartoon. 😯 “No, thanks. We’re good!”
That’s exactly it. Staring personal disaster in the face and not seeing a problem with that. Or at least nothing as bad as, say, avoiding it.
I don’t get how it’s even possible.
I don’t either. I’ve had a few patients tell me they’re worried about the vaccine side effects, and it takes a lot of self-control to not blow up at them and yell “So you’d rather have covid side effects? Do you like tubes down your throat and a 30% chance of neurological side effects?”
Seriously. “Hey. Your ship is sinking! Here’s a life jacket.”
“Oh, no thanks. I don’t like the tailoring.”

I wish natural selection worked a helluva lot faster to weed out these idiots.
