    I don’t understand the party thought process: they seem to want as many births as possible, but they also seem to want as many deaths as possible. What does that get them?

    Edit: never mind, I figured it out. This is slave-owner mentality. You want/need lots of fresh new meat for the grinder, but then you want to be rid of them as soon as they are past their forced-labor prime.

      This is slave-owner mentality

      It’s also religious-war/race war mentality.

      The ‘covid is fake/masks don’t work’ talking points were cast early on, when the data were mostly being reported in high-population-density areas. I suspect they decided the pandemic was a political opportunity, to let the virus kill off minorities and democrats in the cities for them.

      Of course, they’re stupid as hell in that they killed far more of their own voters than they did anyone else.

        It is entirely possible that the lopsided amount of covid related deaths among the conservative population actually skewed purple districts to blue in recent years. Stop this timeline I want to get off.

      It has nothing to do with protecting lives, it’s securing the votes of religious Americans.
