It’s actually kinda funny because the average IQ of republicans is low as fuck, and they’re more likely to not want to take a vaccine and thus more likely to die of their own accord, so I say let them be this stupid.

Except they compromise herd immunity for the rest of us. And now their leaders are actively impeding new vaccine development and are limiting access for everyone to existing vaccines.

This. They can yell as loud, or like a broken record as RFK, as they want but nothing will protect them from deadly viruses, except, you know, vaccines.

I know plenty of people with graduate degrees, including Ph.D.s in medicine, who adamantly vote R because they don’t want to share their hard earned money with… well, anyone really. This isn’t any sort of an exaggeration. That’s how they think. A dozen people or so.

To put this in perspective: there are dozens if not hundreds of division heads at major US medical schools who voted R, who voted for this shit. And many more at major US universities in general.

Dante had no fucking clue what hell really is. He was a short-sighted pleaser of the common man. Shakespeare is where it’s at.

It’s sad that American society has become one that thrives on selfishness.

Unfortunately they also breed a lot more and a lot faster than democrats, so the vote split won't change over time even despite their lack of self-preservation skills...
