"Come along Bort..."
"Are you talking to me???"
"No... my son is also named Bort."
The rightwing ghoul who made this cut-and-paste dank Kenosha Killer Kyle Meme put his name in the center of the image. His Oeuvre is simple rightwing agitprop designed to upset and #OwntheLibs.
But, in reality Rittenhouse is a flash of lightning in the rightwing pantheon. He'll be consigned to the dustbin of rightwing legends like, George Zimmerman, Nicholas Sandmann, Not Joe the Not Plumber...
Of course, Covid doesn't care about dank memes. And all the rightwing cries of Hoax or Plandemic doesn't reconstitute lung tissue and doesn't save Antivaxxers from horrible deaths from Covid. All the Candeath Owens retweets about the Unjabbed can't undo the fact that Republicans and right-wingers are dying from Covid.
This isn't stopping Republicans large and small from spreading ignorance and jettisoning the last 1000 years of scientific endeavor.
A Wisconsin State Assemblyman improbably named "Treig Pronschinske", declared in an open meeting, that Covid isn't real because you can't see it,
"You asked what are we going to do to stop the spread of the pandemic and you know if you can't... you can't see the virus... you can't see anything, how ya gonna do it? How can you stop it? How? You physically cannot see the virus. you don't know if it's in this room or it's outside. Or if it even exists right now. You have no clue."
I would accuse "Treig" of espousing solipsism but, we all know Republicans have No Mind so this is in fact a long-form Zen Koan in which existence itself is questioned.
Meanwhile, rightwing intellectual Ben SShapiro tells sick people with Omicron to go out and infect everyone they know with Covid. Ben is a quintessential rightwing intellectual i.e. he's never done a day's worth of work, he advocated for the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars with no intention of serving, and his job is to sit and talk about things of which he has no experience or training. Ben goes on to complain that sick people are using sick time to stay home from work. Like all right-wingers Ben hates when the American people get benefits from their jobs, Ben Shapiro would rather people worked themselves to death to enrich him and that is exactly what he is calling for with his lies about bullshit "natural immunity" and healthcare professionals wanting Covid infected individuals to go back to work, while sick.
But, then there is the Despicable Alex Berenson. Perhaps the worst worst Covid denialist. Who claimed Covid was a New York only problem. Who proclaimed at most 5000 people would die. Who repeatedly gets booked on Tucker Carlson to spread lies and now shamelessly states this egregious falsehood, "The mRNA COVID vaccines need to be withdrawn from the market. No one should get them. No one should get boosted. No one should get double boosted. They are a dangerous and ineffective product at this point." Berenson isn't saying this in 2020 but in 2022 after 1,000,000 American deaths from Covid. A Million.
This is straight up Murder. Straight... Up... Fucking... Murder.
Meanwhile, in order to dupe and distract, Faux News and the rightwing internet consistently and continuously lie and blame the CDC or Biden Administration about racially biased treatment; specifically excluding white people from life-saving treatments for Covid and preferentially giving it to THE BLACKS. It's a recycled version of the Obamacare is special government money for THE BLACKS which was a recycling of Ronnie Raygun's Welfare Queens and Young Black Bucks gettin' your hard-earned white dollars as Government handouts who then buy T-bone steaks and Cadillacs.
But, Covid denialism is just one facet of the conservative BORT civil War on the United States. Certainly, it's killing thousands of Americans and elected Republicans are always willing to sacrifice their voters in the pursuit of office. Once in office, Republicans begin the task of setting up the unequal application of justice and the selective enforcement of laws. Multi-tiered systems of justice is a key hallmark of Fascism.
It is clear Conservatives have already declared a BORT civil War on the United States. But, since it's not a Putin style invasion of Crimea or Ukraine the Left, the Corporate Media and the Democratic Party are loathe to admit it or unwilling to accept the stark truth staring at them in the face.
Conservatives want to murder millions of Americans and are already doing so with unconventional techniques, bureaucratic legerdemain, direct violence by armed paramilitary terrorists, and germ warfare.
Dems cannot see Republican perfidy cos they are weak while GOP is strong amirite
