If he says he's "hanging in there" and "getting by" you can take it to the bank that he's struggling mightily and scared.

Those phrases when used when someone is in an ICU basically means they’re on deck.

no, even those of us who never supported TFG would have applauded a more unified effort to get vax-hesitant people to roll up their sleeves. he did the opposite, and therefore more of 'his' people died. oh well, I guess

If Trump had been a "COVID hawk" from the beginning, the pandemic would've been over long ago and he'd still be POTUS. Just thinking about the second part of my scenario:

You believe that?  Where is the world has that happened (other than China, ha)?  Better off, less deaths?  OK.  Over?  LOL.

Due to the availability of effective vaccines, I think it would effectively be over in the US. No doubt.

agree, mostly

EDIT - Agree that it would have evolved differently but that doesn't mean the roles would completely reverse or anything.  Maybe our numbers look more like Germany's.

Wow, what the fuck happened to this dude's brain?

The idea that educated "liberals" (really, educated people in general) would be having mask burnings and taking horse paste if Trump had been pro lockdown and pushed the vaccine as hard as he could from Day 1...the fuck, man. What a selfish, myopic asshole.

I haven't worn a mask or socially distanced once in the past 18 months with the thought, "I bet this would piss off Trump" in my head.

I'll listen to an argument that the mandates were more "extreme" as a direct opposition to Trump's idiocy, but most would have still been there--and supported--regardless of Trump's positions. Because we're not all assholes.

Yep. I really was surprised that he stuck with that message, even through the boos. But it doesn’t matter - his cognitive dissonance cult will simultaneously think that he is literally the hand-picked soldier of God here to fight for all of their freedoms and shit, but when he said that, he was being manipulated by the Soros deep state. Both things can be true in their broken brains.

 

I would . . . take the vaccine  . . . in a boat.

I would  . . . take it. . . in a moat. . . .

For anyone wondering, the 3rd shot made me feel just as shitty as the other shots.  About 24 hours later and I'm all achy and generally lethargic.  Well worth it, obviously.

Yeah, that don't make no sense.

Perhaps he thinks libruls would be more likely to be civil libertarians or something.

So here in Lincoln, which is 70% vaxxed, LPS students are 20% of the cases.

Poll of voters in the 2020 GE

Biden voters 90% vaccinated 

Trump voters 50% vaccinated 

probably just coincidence 

 

Had Trump come out vocally for vaccines I have to think the Biden numbers would be the same and the Trump numbers over 80.

The irony is that "libertarians", civil or not, are just conservatives who don't want to wear the badge.  They aren't even moderate, much less progressive or (shudder) liberal.

I'm gonna go way out on a limb and connect some dots . . . "Lincoln" and "students" . . . uh, "Lincoln Public Schools"?

Maybe it's "Lincoln Pubescent Students".

Or "LOL People Sheep".  

Not sure.  I'm going with my first guess.

We haven't been back in ages, I don't think I'd recognize some of our old haunts. They opened up a hs near where I used to train/run XC and I bet that what used to be nothing but pasture is all homes now. I lived on A street up the street from the IGA--is the Zesto still around? We also lived in a little place near Havelock.

Lockdowns, vaccine passports, elevated police presence, curfews, etc., seems more right wing imo.

Zestos is still trucking along, at least on South Street. I don’t think it’s changed much. I’m guess you ran where Southwest is now. It’s filled in pretty good with residential now, and our Costco, plus the South Beltway is finally being built.

Wow, yeah, I ran a lot on the Wilderness Park trails which were pretty isolated back in the day, and at Pioneers Park. Sorry that the childrens' case counts are so high, but wow, awesome on the total vax rate though. Our area is still below 50%.

My office is right next to wilderness park at 1st and Van Dorn. Parts are still isolated though. They brought back the mask mandate today, my fiancé was already wearing them since she works with life skills kids in middle school.

The same thing happened last summer. Since Covid started, I've made it a habit of checking the NYTimes "hotspot" map on a nearly daily basis. Shortly after Sturgis, the counties around there started glowing with higher case counts and it spread throughout the Dakotas and then moved on from there. That was ground zero the the resurgence of the virus last fall. Each day, you could just watch it creep across the country with the origin being a fucking biker rally.
