Trump tells supporters to get vaccinated

[Mik]

I think the real avenue to greater compliance is in the workplace. If you want to come to work you have to be vaccinated. Restaurants and flights wont do it, nor will a passport. Hell, we couldn't get a lot of people to wear masks and not socialize. What makes us think we can make them use and enforce a passport?

Nobody could give me covid-19 now if they tried.

At least for the next few weeks, months, etc., until your immunity wears off (which it might do).

[Copper]

I know, nobody is guaranteeing anything.

I'd just like to get to the point where we can let it go.

If we have vaccine passports and crusades against anti-vaxers, this thing won't end during our lifetimes.

[Mik]

Agreed.

[LuFins Dad]

Bigger issue in my mind are the maybes. Let them come to the decision on their own and most will. Try to force the issue and most won’t.

"...who belive their rights supersede societal needs"

Exactly, and like Copper I too want to let it go. Move on, travel freely. Bloody hell, just to buy something at a local charity shop would be nice.
Thing is we have no control over whether Covid mutates and becomes a deadly killer of all and makes the vaccinations useless. So it might be better we aim for real control over Covid in our society as a whole right now?

I feel the same regarding democratic societal needs when it comes to the greedy person who hides behind their company & doesn't pay taxes, or the egotist who thinks they can riot in protest.

A sizeable number of people think that being told they have to wear a mask is actual tyranny. Maybe just line them up against a wall. At the very least, they'd get some perspective.

It's like the asshats who scream, "We're living in a police state."

Ummm...if you were living in a police state, you wouldn't be able to scream that.

The reaction to masks and vaccines has caused me to lose the plot with the GOP. It’s a hill to die on that you will not find me on or near or excusing.

[Mik]

There are a lot of thigs that have caused me to do the same - lack of fiscal restraint, deficit spending, the list is pretty long.

[Jolly]

Your alternative is the Democrats.

[Mik]

Nope. Not going there. I'm more of a Kasich guy.

What the former President would refer to as a 'Major Loser' - a/k/a Republican with principles.

What I am hearing from his supporters around these parts is, that they think it's fake. He didn't really say it.

Which is pretty ironic, when you consider how much of his bullshit they do appear to believe.

I think we would be much better off with Trump, than with Hidin' Biden, The Senile Patient.

And if y'all don't like that, you can kiss my natural-born Southern ass.

President Biden, you mean?

Let's see how much perceived goodwill is worth, I guess. My theory is that Biden being president will do nothing to stem the tide of hate activism, but hey, he's the one in office so here's hoping.

Would it kill you to keep exclamation point groups at 3 or fewer?
