Is this account a parody? I’m not sure. But the real question is: Is she right?

If you take the pandemic and the efficacy of the vaccines seriously, as I do, then you must conclude that she’s on to something.
For goofball conservatives, like JD Vance, tweets like this are catnip—definitive proof that White liberals are “the real racists” or “the real classists” etc. All this proves is that conservatives hold the ideal of anti-racism as more important than life or death.
Why dismiss and condemn a proposal, which would likely save lives, just because it might reinforce a stereotype—and one that’s not even terribly demeaning. (I, too, love fried chicken; I’ve never understood how this stereotype is in anyway insulting to Blacks.)
Conservatives who react like Vance—pointing and sputtering—are little different, ideologically, from BLM protestors who flagrantly and recklessly broke quarantine to advocate for “anti-racism.” How many died as a result of the BLM hootenanny? For them, it never mattered.
I, for one, think that this wine-drinking cat lady has offered a reasonable proposal that should be considered by health authorities.
She deleted the tweet, suggesting it wasn’t a parody. Here it is: Image

If you don’t want to publicly announce your vaccination status, that’s fine. Why claim, though, that doing so is a violation of “HIPA rights” or that your status is a deeply personal matter, akin to your sex life or some childhood embarrassment?
The irony is that Trump should get a tremendous amount of credit for the development of the vaccines. The least you could say is that they happened under his watch.
The reason why Trump, MTG, and Tucker all refuse to announce that they’ve been vaccinated, which they undoubtedly have been, is that the MAGA base has created a “shibboleth” around refusing the vaccine, one adjacent to bizarre conspiracy theories.

“Traditionalist Catholics” are horrified by the notion that they might have to receive the religion they’ve devoted their lives to in a language they actually understand.
“Trads” want “True Catholicism” to remain a vague, obscure, never-to-be-actualized, never to-be-questioned *thing* that they wave around as a counter-revolutionary force, a grand perversion, which stands for their (understandable) hatred of everything as it is.
I wouldn’t say that “True Catholicism” is an “idea” or “ideal” because it *is* the Roman Church, a real, existing institution, one that, in fact, operates quite swimmingly in the modern world these “trads” love to hate.

I have a certain appreciation and respect for this man's "damn the torpedos" attitude. What continues to annoy the hell out of me is conservatives either engaging in revisionism of Jan. 6 ("it was Antifa") or denial ("they were just tourists").
Yes, Jan 6 was buffoonish, delusional, and had no chance of success, but it was understood by many, maybe most, participants as a kind of "revolution," a means of securing the presidency for Trump. To deny this is simply to disconnect from reality in the name of partisanship.
J6 was, in its way, an insult to the grand tradition of *coups d'état*—it was comprised of goofballs acting like goofballs, getting fleeced by the grifters who organized it. It was not a tightly organized and disciplined action for the seizing power and legitimacy.

This story embodies the entire Trump episode for me, its contradictions and "Trump vs. Trump" quality.

One of the most common defenses of Trump in the dissident sphere is that "he's got good instincts"—with that admission that he's out of his depth or constantly undermined by Jared, the media, Deep State, and GOP. But "Trump's heart," I was told, "was in the right place."
Here we have Exhibit A for such a defense. Trump tried to go full Ron Paul at the 11th hour—change the course of American history no less—but was prevented by his own incompetence and the Deep State dragging its feet.

What we see in these battles between the Trumps and the Cheneys is a culture war—or, more accurately, a class war—over the aesthetics and rhetoric of the GOP. It’s not about ideology or policy; it’s about who will get pandered to most.
It’s not wrong to say that Trump thinks Cheney is “bad for our country” because she doesn’t release aggressively moronic public statements like this.
The GOP’s “civil war” has little to nothing to do with actual policy or vision. On all critical matters, the camps are aligned. Trump’s “populism” never actually went beyond promoting Americans’ God-given right to industrial-strength toilet flushing and scalding hot showers.

Probably an overstatement... but not wrong either.
Clearly, the American Left is headed in the same as the direction as most of the world—Israel is viewed as illegitimate. Whether that will amount to whining about Palestinians on Twitter, and vaguely demanding a two-state solution, or actual policy, remains to be seen.
The only non-Jewish community on Earth that is “all in” with Israel is White Christians in the South and Midwest—who are, in fact, more Zionists than the Jews. And, for the time being, the leaders of the Democratic Party are staunchly Zionist.
