The Right loves Big Government

[Toro]

There was a time when they didn’t.

But that was before their primary imperatives were “owning the libs” and culture wars 24/7.

Is the anti-vaccine, anti-government alarmist bent on the American right here to stay? And if so, at what magnitude?​

Certainly cafeteria libertarianism is nothing new. It’s been a dozen years since members of the Tea Party movement expressed revolutionary zeal in opposing Obamacare but bitterly rejected even modest changes to shore up Medicare. It’s been 20 years that situational defenders of liberty have railed against the invasiveness of the TSA but supported policing initiatives like “stop and frisk.”​

So maybe we shouldn’t be so surprised that many of the same people who are now the most intensely opposed to vaccines and vaccine mandates come from the same nationalist wing of the right that wants to use government compulsion for its own causes. Whether it’s banning pornography, controlling online speech, or centrally planning an economy oriented toward manufacturing, the subscript on the Gadsden flags of the anti-vaxx protests should say “but maybe tread on thee.”​

Thank Goodness for Phony Passion

How many conservative opponents of vaccines and mandates are really just addicted to negative partisanship?

Before Reagan, I'm guessing, but I am known to be wrong.

What the hell makes someone a conservative?

Hmm?

I don't understand the rant.

Neocons especially love big government so it might be a good idea if Republicans would come out and cut every department by 10% to improve their conservative credentials. There's also a lot of departments that could be done away with completely. Start with the FDA and CDC which have proved themselves to be corrupt and evil. Our federal government should also get out of the education business. I'm sure a little investigating could no doubt uncover dozens of other unneeded departments for the chopping block.

He probably enjoys it.

Sicko!

It's insane that COVID became political with trump supporters being anti-vaxx and Biden supporters being pro vaxx.


A lot of trump supporters died of COVID needlessly.

\Ya know, they guy who voted for Biden.

He also mistakes "big government" for "any government" when it fits his narrative.

 

[Votto]

I don't understand the rant.

Toro is trying to come to terms with the fascist party he has sold his soul to.

So he is trying to convince us, but more more importantly himself, that the other party is no better.

Stop lying about the data.

The least likely people to be vaccinated in this country are blacks and hispanics.

Only half of the black population is vaccinated, so when the left are talking about denying unvaccinated people healthcare and other basic services, we KNOW what you really mean.

While not inaccurate, this is humorous coming from a shill for an all powerful central state.

Significant numbers are dying. Not nearly as many as Trump cultists, but still a lot. That's why we can't just sit back and let you death-cultists keep offing yourselves. Your suicidal stupidity is taking too many decent human beings along with you.

That's why I keep pointing out how so many more Republicans are dying than Democrats. I figure the threat of losing elections might be the only thing that can motivate you.

Covid became political when the dems went all in on it to get Trump out.
Funny thing is the boomerang effect on Biden.
