They're really set on decimating their voter base.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 105 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm okay with that part, but the flu virus mutating inside them and spreading to non-idiots is what worries me.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 years ago

Well, at least there's a vaccine.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

What they really want is their base to think “the big bad fda is trying to control them.”

This way, when their party dismantles the fda (in the interest of no longer regulating corporations on animal treatment or food or drug quality) their supporters cheer, as the food they are sold increases in price for continuous drop in quality and safety.

Followed by the unregulated sale of placebo drugs making unrequited claims with with no studies on health or side effects required, the banning of generics, so on and so forth

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.

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

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.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years 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.

[–] jaspersgroove@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years 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.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years 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 hear you can make it safe by mixing it with 1 part bleach to 4 parts milk.

Democrats said not to, said there's a virus spreading through raw milk and it could be dangerous. That was all it took. That was the only thing Republicans needed to hear to institutionally embrace Raw Milk.

Democrats should try launching a "Don't jump off of cliffs onto sharp rocks" campaign. "It's not safe. The science is clear, gravity is real, and the sharp rocks will hurt or kill you. Just don't do it. It's not about restrictions versus freedom, just don't jump off of cliffs onto sharp rocks." The next week TPUSA would run an article on how to own the libs at the five highest cliffs in the country.

Seems fine to me. This was like when the Republicans refused to vax only to end up killing themselves. Let them fuck around. They'll find out soon enough.

But this article is a hell of a leap if all they got is that shirt.

[–] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 43 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately, that's not the full picture. People got infected and transmitted to a lot of other people, and a lot of innocents ended up dead.

When it comes to bird flu, more people being inconsequential about it, and deliberately getting it gives the virus a greater chance to develop mutations, and maybe affecting us in the long run. This is a really dangerous thing, and those people are doing something that puts us all in risk.

[–] UpperBroccoli@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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

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

That's what we all thought when covid happened, and they decided they wouldn't do anything to avoid it, and started taking horse dewormers.

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

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.

[–] Ember@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

I, for one, think that people who listen to Turning Point USA should drink raw milk to show how not dangerous bird flu.

[–] Granite@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

That would be great if they didn’t have to interact with the rest of us. I don’t want Plague 2.

I've had raw milk I think twice in my life - once straight from the tank at a dairy. It is exponentially more delicious than pasteurized. I wish there were a safe way to produce and consume it.

The right has finally gotten back on track in the pursuit of its goal of cleansing society from the weak and stupid (themselves).

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (3 children)

If some conservatives absolutely insist on lowering their own population, who am I to stop them? Actually, the louder I beg them to stop and follow the science, the more aggressively they seem to be killing themselves...

Guys! Stop! Don't do it!!!

I asked my wife what was with all the raw milk promotion lately. We drove through rural MO and stores had “raw milk sold here” on signage.
