      Yeah, dumb liberals with their dumb vaccines and pasteurized milk and fluoridated water and science. 🙄

        Liberals were against vaccines long before conservatives were. It was never mainstream, but it was getting there.

          Source?

          I remember in the 90 or maybe 00s a study coming out that said vaccine scepticism was about even between liberals and conservatives.

          I hate that the word fascist has become the new slur people use when they hear something that is against there core political beliefs. There are real fascists but they are not everyone who isn’t far left. I see this turning into a left version of the red scare. People are getting increasingly extreme and violent on each side which is dangerous for the long term stability of the US. In reality I think we need more moderate politicians who are willing to reach across political briefs and backgrounds.

            We needed that 40 years ago, in 2025 we have to fight against actual fascists doing actually fascist things.

              Correct. If anything, we’ve been too conservative with the word in the past decade or so. They’re openly talking about shipping off undesirables to gulags, but we’re supposed to tone down our rhetoric and not call them fascists.

                …if they don’t want to be called fascists, maybe they should consider not being f*cking fascists…
