This election is honestly vindicating. At least I can know I’m not going crazy when I scratch my head about the massive double speak from democrats. Forgive me for speaking so crude but my former “tribe” flushed their entire set of values down the toilet and went all in on Covid.

Bodily choice? Nope. Get a shot or loose your job.

Deaf or have language issues? Hope you enjoy not being able to read lips. Fuck you though. Only Covid mattered.

Education? Nope. Close schools for two years. Prevent kids from going to the only sanctuary they have from abusive care givers. Fuck kids. Only Covid mattered.

99%? Nope. Transfer massive amounts of wealth from poor to rich. But hey at least I’m privileged enough I can work from home.

Small business? Nope. Close small businesses and celebrate ordering all your shit on Amazon (to be delivered by poor working class, expendable delivery people so you can stay comfortably isolated working from home at your large house and not get exposed to those deadly deadly Covid germs)

Science? Nope. Almost none of the covid interventions had any science supporting them. We were literally running an uncontrolled experiment that nobody consented to.

Data? Nope. We will actively suppress people who take public data showing Covid isn’t as bad as portrayed. Let’s also treat deaths with and from COVID as the same.

Elderly care? Nope. Lock them in their care home and let them die completely alone. But hey, zoom calls, right? Oh yeah and when grandma dies, no funeral for him! Only George Floyd can have a funeral.

Minority’s? Fuck them. Only Covid matters

Community? Close it all down. Fuck them. Only Covid matters.

Anti-authority? Naw. Call this 800 number and dime out your neighbors BBQ. Cheer on when the police arrest somebody for sitting on a park bench or going onto the beach. Cheer on authorities towing cars parked at trail heads. Cheer on people getting fired for not electing a medical procedure.

Naw… these assholes deserve the loss. They brought it on themselves when they sold their souls to politically driven covid hysteria.

It blew mind how so many people I thought were in “my tribe” could so rapidly turn against virtually every single value I thought we shared. The real moral is fuck tribalism and if you are scratching your head wondering why Harris lost. This is why.
