Last night, I read one too many inflammatory articles written by bigots.
This entire country, and honestly the entire world, has turned every single topic into a political one. Every. Single. One. Covid, masks, immigration, voting rights, women’s rights, everything. Now it’s even cool to hate on progressive comic books. I’ll be touching on lots of topics such as these in the upcoming newsletters.
Goddamn it, I’m tired of it.
You can act like not wearing a mask or getting a vaccine is a “Personal Choice” and has nothing to do with politics.
Would you like to know how I know that is bullshit?
I have a family member that jumped at the chance to help another member of the family. They went halfway across the country to offer their kidney to a “Conservative” grandfather that was 85 years old and had multiple health issues. Receiving the kidney may have extended his life by a year, and not much more than that.
I myself have a very compromised immune system, and as such, I’m susceptible to Covid quite a bit more than the average person. That very same family member that was willing to donate his kidney to extend a life for a year… went across country to do so… actively refuses to get a vaccine to visit my house. They live two hours away. My driveway collapsed due to erosion of soil, and I needed help fixing it. I asked for it, and still… no vaccine. I’m left leaning moderate, and not a Trump supporter. I was told no again.
The reason I was given? It’s my body, my choice.
Oh, but FUCK YOU. Each and every one of you who use this excuse to not be vaccinated. Using lame excuses like “I can’t breathe” (another thing that they’ve twisted for their own purposes) is simply unacceptable.
Until I had difficulty standing or walking, I regularly had to wear Respirator masks for work because of chemicals. As mandated by OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Organization. I HAVE COPD AND RARELY HAD TO REMOVE MY MASK BECAUSE “I COULDN’T BREATHE.”
TRANSLATION?
You’re all seriously full of shit.
MY BODY MY CHOICE?
Eat my ass.
You claim that is a valid reason to NOT get a vaccine… but it’s NOT a valid reason for women to be able to have abortions?
Oh, but FUCK YOU. Eight states—Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Wisconsin—still have unenforced pre-Roe abortion bans in their laws, which could be enforced if Roe were overturned.
Trigger laws are laws that are enacted in states that basically wait for the opportunity to be automatically passed should the federal government become neutral or enact laws or acts that would give the states the wiggle room to enforce those laws. They are different from state to state and concern themselves with more than just abortion. In the case of abortions, however, twelve states have abortion trigger laws.
If Roe v. Wade is overturned, which could happen when it goes in front of the conservative majority Supreme Court (that is supposed to be non-partisan, by the way), nearly all of those states will ban it across the board except in the direst of circumstances - though that’s not even always the case. In Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, these trigger laws are just waiting.
ARKANSAS LAW REQUIRES RAPE VICTIMS TO GET THE PERMISSION OFTHE RAPIST PRIOR TO THE ABORTION, AND THE SAME FOR CASES OF MOLESTATION OR INCEST.
A total of twenty-one states, nearly half of the country, COULDN’T GIVE TWO SHITS about “My body, My choice.”
Fox News’ star Tucker Carlson boisterously voiced support for Vladimir Putin at the beginning of the Ukraine conflict. NewsMAX actively beefs with Kermit the Frog over them being realistically diverse.
NONE, not one of you who support these things, are doing so because you feel your rights are being infringed upon. You’re behind all of the hateful rhetoric that this country (and several others, unfortunately) experienced in full force during the Trump administration because that’s who you are.
You have this UNBELIEVABLY FICTIONAL idea that the world should fall within the RULES of your own personal beliefs. Your argument against that is that I’m doing the same thing.
NOPE.
I’m not hatemongering. I’m simply saying that EACH AND EVRY PERSON should have the right to express themselves and conduct themselves in ANY way that they wish to AS LONG AS IT IN NO WAY CAUSES HARM TO ANY LIVING, BREATHING, BORN individual or area around them.
Let’s face it… You’re little. Your spine is brittle. you desperately hold onto the bullshit you were taught in Sunday School and that family member that is “Just from another time.” Sure, it’s the majority of you that own the firearms (of which I 100%support), but it’s not REALLY because you use an AR for hunting or want to be able to defend yourself… it’s not even because you want to express your Constitutional rights…
It’s because you’re weak. Simple-minded, hate-filled, afraid of change WEAK.
Of the many “derogatory” terms used to describe people who want those SAME Constitutional rights for EVERYONE… crybaby, snowflake, cuck, libtard, lefty… Woke is the one that really makes no sense to me at all.
I’d much rather be awake than asleep at the wheel, being driven by the agendas of others, like all of you poor, miserable folk who spout, practice, and endorse the hatred of so many... simply because they aren’t sheep like you.
