I wonder what the Venn diagram is of NeverTrump and "you're an idiot if you don't get the vaccine" would look like.
I don't know that it's a circle, but I'd think it would be close.
They're the same people that swallowed the "suckers and losers" bit hook, line, and sinker without ever questioning it.
They have a history of questioning the reasons why someone says something, never taking it at face value.
Just a moment ago, I saw a comment about Kyrie.
"He's not giving up his career because he doesn't think he should be told what to do, even though that is what he says. He's really giving it up because ARGLE BARGLE I'M A MIND READER!!"
Nah, bro. You don't know that man.
How many articles as French written on "why evangelicals not getting the vaccine makes them a bad Christian"?
Every time any of them talk about the vaccine and the vaccine hesitant, it's condescension.
"You have a right to not take it, but you're an idiot if you don't."
That's a winning message, you tools.
It's why they get so mad at DeSantis and Abbot not allowing businesses to discriminate.
"GOVERNMENT OVERREACH!!"
I guess if I'm gonna get government overreach, I'll take mine that defends my rights as an individual.
"So you're defending making the baker bake the cake!"
Yes, because doing something that violates HIS conscience is exactly like making someone do something that violates THEIR conscience.
Great analogy.
Should I have used the sarcasm font on that? I felt it was pretty clear, but this is Twitter so...
Anyway...
I feel too many people are caught up in their arrogance and hubris to look beyond the end of their nose and understand that some people have valid concerns and are struggling with where they land.
"He's just scared of the vaccine." Even if that is true, so what?
Look. Rule of thumb.
If in your argument against anti-vaxxers you sound like Keith Olbermann, you lose. Automatically.
Really, if you side with Keith on just about anything, you lose.
I guess my main complaint about this is my main complaint about the NeverTrump talking heads and that is their arrogance and elitism.
They're no different than the media or the Left.
If you don't agree with them you're wrong, you're an idiot, and you should be ignored.
And as someone who has been ignored most of my life because I wasn't "one of them", it kinda pisses me off to see it happen to my brothers and sisters.

I give NeverTrump talking heads a lot of grief because of their treatment of President Trump and the Republican base.
But to be fair to them, they had some very legitimate points against Trump.
No, he did not have the temperament to president. He’s quick to anger and mockery. He’s reactionary to any slight or insult. He’s braggadocios, arrogant, and narcissistic.
He has no issue lying or threatening to get his way.
He was a lifelong NY Democrat who didn’t hold conservative values until he started running as a Republican.
Any media story that didn’t reflect upon him well was dismissed as “fake news” and he used people’s anger as a weapon against his opponents.
Loudoun County proves that the War on Women is over and Trans have won.
Seriously, if your take is "Fox made this news which made parents mad which caused threats which made the FBI go after them then Fox complained and it's all Fox's fault",
your take is trash.
I remember when a woman with no proof, no memory, no dates, and no story was held up as a paragon of evidence and #MeToo raged.
With as hard in the paint as NeverTrump Republicans are on vaccines, maybe they were just wanting to control women's bodies after all.
I dunno. Judging by how horny Kristol, French, and crew are for "make those idiots get a vaccine because they're too stupid do know better", it's not too far off to think that just maybe their anti-abortion stance wasn't for saving babies but for controlling women.
I mean, look at their gay marriage stance over the years. They were whole-heartedly against it, railing on how it would cause the downfall of society.
Maybe it's not just women, but people that they wanted to control.
On Earth 4, President Trump is under fire for pushing the vaccine. Democrats are very concerned about how much Pfizer has made.
CNN has replaced their COVID cases/death counter with a COVID vaccine side effects cases/death counter.
The economy is coming back but Blue state governors have demanded truckers have the vaccine before crossing state lines.
Healthcare workers are hailed as heroes still, but only those who publicly reject the vaccine.
