Republicans hate America 17: Iowa Governor Scrooge K. Reynolds takes food out of the mouth of the hungry on Christmas Eve

I'm "worried" about childhood obesity that's why
Iowa's only food products are Bacon and HCFS

"At this festive season of the year, Governor Kim Reynolds, ... it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the Poor and destitute, who suffer greatly at the present time. Many thousands are in want of common necessaries; hundreds of thousands are in want of common comforts, Ma'am."
Kim Reynolds -"Are there no federal funded prisons?"
"Plenty of prisons..."
Kim Reynolds -"And the Republican created concentration camps.  Are they still in operation?"
"Both very busy, Ma'am..."
Kim Reynolds - "Those who are badly off must go there."
"Many can't go there; and many would rather die."
Kim Reynolds - "If they would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."

In a Christmas Eve tradition, Iowa Governor Kim Scrooge Reynolds is eager and able to ensure that poor children in Iowa go hungry for the holidays and beyond because poor Iowa children are too fat.  I doubt that Reynolds will have a Dickensian epiphany on Christmas Morn.

Iowa has decided not to participate in a federal program that would provide children with $40 a month in food assistance during the summer, the state announced late Friday.

"Federal COVID-era cash benefit programs are not sustainable and don’t provide long-term solutions for the issues impacting children and families. An EBT card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic," Gov. Kim Reynolds said in the news release.

Republicans hate you and want you to die.  Republicans don't even care if their policy decisions hurt their constituency.  Dying of Whiteness is a conservative shibboleth.  Republicans know they can lie with abandon, vote against funds for their voters and simply rely on the Corporate Media to blame Congress, or gridlock in DC, and reinforce the white man delusion of I Blame the Demmycrats!

As a Cuban, I hate Socialism
Which is why I vote against all 
government funding bills.
Now give me my money!

I mean just look at this disreputable Florida Representative María Elvira Salazar, who in 2022 voted against the Inflation Reduction Act while claiming Inflation is 40% and pocketing a cool $500,000 in inside trading, and then a week before Christmas 2023 Salazar decided to celebrate the Federal funds she voted against.  Taking credit for things they vote against is a Republican triumph.

Keep convincing yourselves that Republicans and Democrats differences in politics are a sincerely held divergence in what constitutes a healthy functioning government and Nation and you'll end up in the Trump brand detention camps.

Republicans yearn to purify this Nation and through brutal austerity programs and channeling of tax monies to fascist fundamentalist Christian organizations remold the Nation into a Neo-Confederate White Supremacist country buttressed by the twin pillars of White Power and Wage Slavery.  They explicitly declare their intent to use their Religious Liberty to harass, enslave, and kill you.

I've been hoping these policies and hypocritical actions would cause electoral defeats for Republicans.  But, Salazar has won two elections to the House of Representatives and Kim Reynolds easily won re-election to Governor in 2022 by a far larger percentage than in 2018.  It clearly seems policy choices and delivering on election promises doesn't matter white people do not vote based on what they claim to want; but, against themselves based on the fear and anger Republicans have cultivated within them.

The Woke Mind Virus 3: Covid Ghouls DIED SUDDENLY

"You know how passionately I speak out against vaccines," Candace Owens aka Candeath Owens aka Candace Ovens.

Never get in a car with Ray Lotta or Candace Ownes

Preventable deaths from Covid struck conservatives disproportionally especially after the introduction of Vaccines.  But, that's not what Republicans wanted to believe so rightwingers have adopted a new way to justify their Covid Death Cult.  The Vaccine is responsible for all those deaths.

Lisa Marie Presley died of a heart attack and the Covid Ghouls descended upon Twitter to declare her death was the result of the Vaccine, of being "jabbed".

Presley is just the latest person rightwing covid ghouls have declared died of the vaccine.  The death of Bob Saget last January, NFL player Damar Hamlin's chest injury on the field last month, and even Celine Dion's announcement she has a rare autoimmune disease have been touted by Rightwing Covid Ghouls as proof of the deadly effects of the Vaccine.

Initial attempts to convince people the vaccine made your testicles swell or magnetized your skin fell flat even amongst the Anti-Vaxx crowd, who wanted to believe it but, couldn't suspend their rational thinking that far.  Instead the genius idea that rightwingers hit upon was to watch the news for anyone dying and declaring that person DIED SUDDENLY of the JAB.

The decades long rightwing propaganda campaign destroying the idea of expertise and authority based on education and learning has reached it's logical end; every right-winger believes their opinion is not only valid but, since "they've done their own research" their beliefs are more correct than anyone else's.

Charlie Kirk / Charlie Manson... Not much difference

Worse yet, anyone to whom rightwing assholes would listen to as an authority, is decidedly anti-vaxx and is in the business of peddling lies to their audiences for money.  Bro Rogan built an entire vitriol laden anti-vaccine segment while hosting Vaccine Liar Brett Weinstein based on a fake tweet because Bro Rogan promotes every piece of rightwing agitprop without a care because promoting rightwing lies has made Rogan rich. 

And of course it gets worse.  Ron DeathSantis made Covid denialism the core of his 1st Governorship and rode to victory on the caskets of dead Floridians.  In addition to denying the plague running through his state, DeathSantis placed Joseph Ladapo in as the Florida Surgeon General, who has hyped the bogus claim the vaccine gives young men an abnormally high-risk for cardiac related deaths." 

So... there's not much we can do.  I don't blame President Biden for dropping Covid as an issue because I'm certain everything any of us see coming from the anti-science anti-medicine Right was laid out before him and Joe and his advisors understood fighting an entrenched foe would gain them very little.  It's a vile and completely standard rightwing tactic which is hard to defeat rhetorically.  Nothing you can say or post would dissuade Rightwing Covid Ghouls from declaring and believing the Vaccine is a Killer.

The Anti-Vaxx contingent is now firmly established in the rightwing echo chamber.  Conservatives will continue their fatal addiction too lies and insist on Dying of Whiteness.

The Woke Mind Virus 2: If we told Republicans sticking their heads in a Gas Stove was bad would they do it?

Kitchen "Table" Agitprop

There was an "old" internet joke that if President Obama told Republicans to keep breathing they would hold their breaths in protest.

Would that were true, instead the Republicans & Rightwingers have declared they will use everything at their disposal to make Americans lives worse in every way.  That's why Rightwingers decide every issue can be a wedge issue.  Enter the Gas Stove.

No...

From the Washington Post article,

Natural gas stoves emit air pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and fine particulate matter at levels the US Environmental Protection Agency and World Health Organization have said are unsafe and linked to respiratory illness, cardiovascular problems, cancer and other health conditions, according to reports by groups including the Institute for Policy Integrity and the American Chemical Society. 

Only Ben SShapiro is a more
learned conservative philosopher
than Catturd2 

Which lead to the pushback by Republicans & Rightwingers on their Fashiest platform, Twitter to demonstrate their contrarian coolness.  As with everything from the Right this is all performative anti-woke, anti-virtue signaling designed to appeal to their base.  If the rightwing incestuous media scaffolding had existed in the 1980's Republicans & Rightwingers would have come out in favor of Radon in basements.

Here's just a smattering of responses from the depths of Fash Twitter.

Schlapp is busy ignoring the revelation of her
husband Matt Schlapp's propensity to pummel
Men's Junk without consent

Unfortunately, The Fash in America is strong and entrenched and not going away until they get what they are after; i.e. the rounding up and elimination of every Non-MAGA.

Matt Gaetz doesn't know how stoves work
probably because Gaetz makes his 14 year old    
dates do the cooking for him

In the meantime we are seeing in real time the anti-woke mind virus crusade which has captured the right completely and can chalk this up to another category of Dying of Whiteness.
