Diseases like flu and COVID kill more elderly than anyone else.

Someone remind me who the big Republican voter base is again...

Sooo do they know that the FDA and CDC advice against ingesting raw sewage? Perhaps that is another thing they just do not want you to have. Maybe they should try that, too.

So this "Turning Point" is about turning to the worst?

Always has been.

Anyone who deliberately drinks raw milk is a sociopath

As long as raw milk doesn’t give you any contagious diseases that can be passed on to sane, responsible people, I’m fine with this.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

As long as they don’t give the milk to their innocent children either…

It will never stop being entertaining to me how the wannabe-iconoclast performative behavior of conservatives has them all acting like hippies lol. Raw milk, anti-vax,now they’re all happy about gun laws with Hunter’s conviction. Next thing you know there will be a conservative free love movement thinly veiled as a way to boost our low birth rates.

Nah, conservatives seem to really hate consensual sex. It's going to be Gilead and handmaids

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Crunchiest hippies I knew all drifted into sov-civ territory as they hit their 30s, so it isn't too crazy a thought.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What do you mean "will be"? They've explicitly encouraged having large families for centuries, and implicitly encouraged having kids outside a family too, by forbidding birth control and abortion.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes but on the surface at least they also insist on monogamy or at the very least serial monogamy. Free love is typically more of a polyamorous movement.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Mostly, yeah.

Although, the Bible does say that if your brother dies and didn't make any babies with his wife, it's your job now. https://www.esv.org/Genesis+38:8;Deuteronomy+25:5;Matthew+22:24;Mark+12:19;Luke+20:28/

When your brother married a hottie so you "accidentally" spill cyanide in his tea.

I'm just impressed they were able to milk a bird!

Choke on it, dumb fucks.

Some gifts just wrap themselves, don’t they?

They are that dumb, aren't they?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

Yes. Yes they are.

Absolute contempt for their supporters.

Being difficult and contrarian is the calling card of conservatives. The fact that they don't care that their marching orders will cause many of their supporters to die, is everything that you need to know about conservatives/Republicans.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

this is just bird flu taking control of the average conservative brain

same as covid making them afraid of masks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I see no problem here.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

~~Drinking~~ injecting bleach is like, soooo 2020.

"Just straight up kill yourselves, my pathetic minions! Muahahahaha!" - Ben Shapiro, probably.

[–] [email protected] 103 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Democrats should start promoting basic safety/health measures like don't look into the gun's barrel, take your heart medicine, don't insert forks into a socket, etc. so that Conservatives can kill off their voter base more efficiently by being contrarian.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

That's what I said of our politics decades ago: If one party starts a campaign to the theme "We will not jump off the roof of the Parliament building", you will find dead members of the other party all around that building a few days later.

The sun kills the virus, so make sure you get as much sun as you can and you'll be fine.

Oh fuck those guys!

Now it’s gonna be like anybody wearing a red hat, or Hindus and swastikas.

I drink raw milk because I know where it comes from, and for some reason it cures my lactose intolerance.

I don’t really understand it, and by really I mean like not at all, maybe whatever a probiotic is?

Idk, I just know that if I drink it every now and then, then it lets me drink regular store milk without getting sick, but it’s local and tastes better so🤷

Right wingers are still all loaded up on horse dewormers. I’m sure they’ll be fine.
