Time to hate them back?

Fake news.
2,000 people a day are dying because they won’t take the vaccine and somehow its now the government’s fault, the same government that is paying 20k a hospitalization for unvaccinated people.
Stop the nonsense.

Well, I like him, but he's family, so...
But he's pretty spot on here regarding what is happening.
But an utter failure with providing a solution. There's an enormous majority out there who want nothing to do with this struggle. Conservatives win them over quite easily by being the group preaching actual tolerance. If they want to win, and have a country to be a part of by the end of this, need to lean into their individual liberties rhetoric and leave the hate for the other group. Let them expose themselves for the assholes they are and the middle will turn their backs on them. Mutual hatred leads to body counts.

I think we passed that point awhile back. We are on an inevitable slide of not if, but when.
I do think one thing that could turn things around, is not curtailing the First Amendment, but strengthening libel and slander laws, including for public figures. When news gets back to Joe Friday reporting, with multiple sources and the end of political commentary inserted into true news, the pot will bubble a lot less.

We really haven't. Like at all.
Almost nobody cares about this shit. They're still filling their tanks up at Exxon and driving to work.

Until they don't have anything to put in the cars they don't have, to not get to the job that layed them off.

Well yes when the world ends like that, I'll allow that there will be a higher likelihood of violence, but placing car manufacturing, energy distribution and the entire global economy at the feet of liberals is a bit much.
Please love yourself.

Here’s a new trick for you. Regeneron is a conspiracy by pharmaceutical companies. I know its a tough one because first it was Teh government being a shill and now the government is withholding. One trick pony can handle that.

I'm not placing all that at the feet of liberals, but I am saying a fractured society can disintegrate under pressure. Look at Germany under the Weimar Republic, when brutal inflation hit.

Well, sure. It can happen. What I'm saying is that we're not in the Weimar Republic yet and we shouldn't treat it as a foregone conclusion.

Why are you saying the government is paying for these hospitalizations? Insurance is paying for these hospitalizations as are the patients. A friend has shown me his bills.
