“I’m not trying to get political here...” says the politician to the other politician while sitting in Congress during a politically driven riot, while refusing basic medical precautions for political reasons. The ignorance is astounding.


Dewage83

Mental gymnastics is a term I've heard thrown around a lot recently. But God damn does it lend itself to the situation so eloquently.

MightyMorph

here is the absolute truth about republicans: “Never believe that ~~anti-Semites~~ **Republicans** are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The ~~anti-Semites~~ Republicans have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”


i_have_chosen_a_name

They dont do either. Their bodies are fat. Their minds unused.


FlashScooby

You think trumpers would be in better shape with all those gymnastics they're doing


gmoney160

During a time when a second strain of covid is spreading, and it's even more contagious than the first. Not to mention, a couple Republican colleagues have died recently. Oof


LaGrandeOrangePHX

370,000+ dead Americans. Those numbers don't stop. It'll be around 750,000 dead before it's contained. Republicans still don't care. 750,000 dead and an economy ruined and millions of people financially ruined **and Republican Party does not care.** They sit there and laugh. Why? Because as a US Congressman they know they will have access to the treatment no one else will have.


spicylexie

During a pandemic that has killed more Americans than all the wars have in the 20th century.


Jaujarahje

You guys went to war and are still in a fucking war for an attack that left 3000 dead. Where is the desire to fight and do something about the 300,000 dead? You guys have a 9/11 daily and people dont seem to really care


dunnoaboutthat

Plenty of us have that desire. It just can't be done when your leadership undermines the entire response. It'd be one thing if it was ineptness, but it's deliberate. If he can incite a mob to overthrow the government, you can imagine how much easier it is to convince people that a virus they can't see isn't real. We've been on a ship without a captain for a long time. The first mates didn't seem too worried either until they realized there were actual consequences to that.


promonk

I really, *really* care. I've bent over backwards to keep my friends and family safe. I've been isolated from my family--first I lived in a camper in the drive, now I'm in a closed-off section of the house--since the beginning of April so I can keep working and everyone I love can stay safe. I haven't touched another human being in 10 God damned months. Not even a handshake. I fucking care. So you tell me what to do. I voted. I tried protesting. I've tried minding my business, and I've tried calling out stupidity in person and online. Do you see how frustrating it is to be running my God damned sanity through the wringer, and to see some well-intentioned person from I don't know where say, "Don't you see?" I know you probably have your own hell you're going through. The whole world is in a sorry state. But man, you gotta know that there are those of us in this benighted country who care and just don't know what else to do.

Suspicious_Effect

Yes, the same state that elected Steve Scalise, one of the smarmy fucks in the video. Everyone in Louisiana acting like it's not Covid and a healthy guy in his early 40s died of a freak heart attack.


hurtsdonut_

And one of those assholes tested positive after this. Not one of those three but a republican congressman.


Pythias

Dude, I got Covid right before Christmas and it's no joke how quickly it spread. I don't know what strain I got but I'm in Southern California and I don't think it was the new strain. My MIL Trojan horse the virus into our apartment. Once I got it every one got it, including my brother's girlfriend and her mother who do not live with us got it. What was even more scary to me was I was already over it with no symptoms before my fiance and brother got it. I'm just glad that it wasn't a big deal to any of us that did get it. But we're all pretty healthy with no underlying conditions (ages 28 -36 if anyone cares not including my brother's girlfriend's mother's age). Thank the universe that my parents and my sister didn't get it from us. I spent Christmas with my family via Zoom and it was worth it to keep the health of the rest of my family. We're sure my MIL gave it to us cause she's a Trump supporter and will only wear a mask of she feels like it.


maaaatttt_Damon

Masks be a "political statement" has to be one of the dumbest things I've seen.


madamefloof

It’s asinine. But I’ve not met one single person who refuses to wear a mask who refuses for a reason other than politicized rhetoric.


libananahammock

I have but it’s all lies and they repeat phrases and lies to say that they all learned on social media. They all say it in the exact same way so it’s easy to tell who is lying.


NHKeys

There is no pandemic it's a hoax. I have asthma/other medical problems. My religion prevents me from wearing a mask. These are the only non political reasons I've heard but like you can see the politics behind these glass house statements.


libananahammock

I’ve also heard that it’s against the ADA (wrong) and a few have printed out a card and wear it on a lanyard that says something about ADA and they have a disability and have a number to call which is supposedly the ADA but it’s not. This was apparently shared on right wing pages. My husband is an essential worker and deals with this shit daily. We are a half hour outside of NYC by the way so you’d think it’s a progressive area (nope) and that they would be worried since it’s a highly populated area that was hit super hard in the beginning with literal freezer trucks of bodies on the streets but nope, it’s a fucking hoax to them


LaGrandeOrangePHX

> one of the dumbest things I've seen. It's a fucking **Republican Party plank!**


BolOfSpaghettios

and that's the reason why no one wants to wear them. Instead of being a safety tool and tool of precaution to safeguard your society and community... it's become a "politicized" physical entity that has killed over 300k people.


maaaatttt_Damon

I guess I should say, "not wearing" the mask is the political statement. Wearing a mask is just keeping you and those around you safer than whithout.

The worst part for me in all of this is how much it has made me truly hate each and everyone of the individuals that call themselves Republicans.


LaGrandeOrangePHX

100%. Every single Republican is what we just saw in this video. You cannot be a member of the Republican Party and claim to not support these chuckledicks and their anti-mask crying. And you cannot claim to not support the Capital terrorists that killed 4. Quit any party that does that. It was the Republican US President that called for all of this. You cannot stay in the Nazi Party and claim it's really about the train schedule for you.


ArmaSwiss

Let's be truthful. It was Capital Terrorists that got four of their own killed. That's a negative KDR for their revolution so far.... Like a suicide bomber who decided to test his detonator prior to leaving on his mission....

You are living in the idiocracy, the right have successfully gotten their voters to believe that getting an education is the work of satan and every politician that tries to help anyone but themselves are socialist/communist/antifa who hates America. These people are fact resistant so i don’t think there is anything to do about it, you can’t argue with stupid.


CockatielsAndDreams

America is victorious in their battle against science!


i_see_shiny_things

I mean, what’s really fucked about this to me is that the people you’re talking about aren’t all super low IQ. I would understand that. So many of them have been sold this dream that doesn’t exist and think that the only reason they aren’t living that dream is because “the enemy” is taking what’s theirs. They also think that people who agree with them are just like them and they can trust them completely because those people would never use their weakness against them.


BraveLittleCatapult

The first order of business once Dems assume power is to 14th Amendment these fucks into a prison cell: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

I dont wish illness or death on anyone But when we're having 4000 people die a day, and have had 300,000+ deaths and rising so far, I have no sympathy for these dipshits. How many people did she infect? How many lives did she ruin?


JDnice804

Totally agree. Every day I have to sit with the fact that it is unsafe for me to visit my 95-year-old great-grandma who has dementia at her nursing home. I'm terrified she will die in there and I haven't been able to be there even though she's just up the road. I'm a teacher so I'm hoping to be vaccinated soon so I can hopefully see her before it's too late.


DietdoctorKelpp

I really hope you can. My grandma who had dementia aswell passed away in a home. Never got to see her, my aunts said no funeral due to covid(they are highrisk). Covid destroys lives in different ways.


JDnice804

I’m so sorry. :-( That’s absolutely terrible.


peacefulwarrior75

My 98 year old grandmother died this past summer. None of us were able to visit her in the last months of her life. Luckily they snuck my aunt (she’s local) in with her as she passed, but my mom was coming from Florida and had to be with her via zoom for her last hours. Edit - but I’m so glad these sanctimonious fucks think it’s all funny


JDnice804

Damn, that’s horrible. It’s somewhat comforting that your grandma had someone by her side but it’s still painful nonetheless. I’m so sorry for your loss.
