A bunch of right-wingers are purposely spreading germs

Before anyone gets mad at me because I won't obey an 18-month lockdown, they should read this article about right-wingers who engage in recreational activities just to spread germs and make a political point...

There's a big difference between being holed up at home for 18 months and just skipping a country club outing. And no, it's not class warfare on my part. It's science - physical and social.

Also, wasn't right-wing demigod Donald Trump pushing a bill to use conservavirus as an excuse to gut habeas corpus just a week or two ago? If everyone else has to be locked up, why not right-wingers too?

Anybip, according to the above report, right-wingers are defying every sort of recommendations and restrictions just to try to stick it to everyone else. One Georgia resident says right-wing members of his country club defied rules just to be defying them. They even said conservavirus is a "stupid hoax."

Well, if it's a hoax, they don't get to use it as an excuse to take away habeas corpus or ban constitutionally protected activity. It's that simple. Make up your minds, conservos. Is it a hoax, or is it an apocalypse? You can't jump between alarmism and denial just to suit the purpose at hand. Of course, Trump does anyway.

Some other people have also been careless about spreading germs, but at least they didn't do it for spiteful political reasons.

Nothing I've encouraged actually spreads conservavirus. Chewing bubble gum at parks isn't exactly a germ spreader. Squeezing 10 people into a golf cart is.

"Safer at home"? Maybe compared to country clubs where privileged right-wingers make a sport of spreading conservavirus.
