I read an article by @bartongellman for @TheAtlantic about Trumps next coup attempt having already begun. The most significant part of this article, in my opinion, should be on everyone's mind now. What part is that? Ill tell you.
We have deluded ourselves into thinking the man with the horns is the example of the delusional Trump Supporter. As we saw with our own two eyes, even this person did not have any idea what he was getting into. We thought it was the Confederate Flag holding man. Not that either
What we are failing to see is highlighted in the article. The people happy to believe Donald Trump should be President and that his Presidency was stolen are doctors, nurses, CEO's etc. They are the people we expect to be logical and the people we expect to be intelligent.
I have met so many of these people myself as a healthcare worker. They will stand before you with all the medical knowledge in the world and leave you in awe. This knowledge that they have cannot afford to come from opinion because there are very real lives at stake. They wont
tolerate a person without knowledge in their presence because they see them as detrimental to a patients life. These VERY SAME PEOPLE will completely change when the subject of Trump emerges. Gone is the logical mind demanding facts and figures and evidence based practice.
Standing before you is a person convinced that an election was stolen. When asked for evidence all that you can ever get is: "Its there! Havent you been paying attention!?" I respond with:"Where?he lost every court case about voter fraud and he--" I get cut off as they attempt to
"Educate" me on the fact that NONE of those cases were dismissed because there was no evidence, but on technicalities. When asked where this evidence is today...I am told "its there!. Im not doing your homework for you!". I ask if they heard it on Hannity or Tuckers show. "Oh, so
you're one of those?" The doctor asks me. One of who you ask? Well, the mere mention of these two names reveals I am, according to them, someone blinded by "the media". Makes no sense to me, but I again ask where the evidence is. I get told its on social media but I have to look
No court cases are cited. No official evidence or tallies. No recounts to point to. The only actual evidence of voter fraud is a man in Pennsylvania that tried to vote for Trump in the name of his dead mom, but that is ignored completely. The dangerous thing about Trump?
I KNOW these people. I have worked with them long enough to KNOW they are smart. The willingness to believe without evidence is proof positive they are in a cult. There is no convincing them, and attempts to show what they believe is based on false information only strengthens
their belief that the evidence is there, but simply being suppressed. This notion that no legal means can be used to bring this evidence to light is where we must wake up. People convinced the truth is out there and they are one revelation from going from pitiful to Patriot...

When did things start to change in America? I'll show you the EXACT moment:
-Trump, then candidate for POTUS, had his lawyer pay off Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about his affairs. His thoughts were that the Christian, Family Values Republicans wouldn't vote for him if they found
out. He was wrong. They voted for him ANYWAY making him realize he could have saved money.
-A tape was released of Trump stating he would walk up to women, married or not, and touch them between their legs and kiss them. It was a bombshell because the Christian Family values GOP
couldn't POSSIBLY condone THIS right!? Wrong...again....they voted for him ANYWAY.
-Trump asks a foreign country to investigate his political rival and its all ON TAPE. THIS was the final str...NOPE. THE GOP said what he did was wrong but "didnt rise to the level of impeachment "

Last night I had to take a patient off the ventilator again. I stood ny his bedside as the family said goodbye over the IPAD. I listened to their goodbyes. The "thank you for keeping us safe when we got lost in the woods". The "Thank you for being the best Dad." I pushed out of
my mind the realization this human being that was so loved and cherished wasnt vaccinated. In this moment it was just compassion. I held his hand as they spoke so he would think they were in the room...then I took him off the ventilator. Mind you, I have other patients so I'm now
expected to go right back to work. Thats why I didnt write this until this a.m. Now that I let myself think, feel and react I am angry. Angry that I've had to do that too many times to count. Angry it happens so often I can't remember all the names.

At this stage, being in denial about #COVID19 and the need to #GetVaxxed is ridiculous, but because I STILL meet these people I want to post what I see ALL THE TIME:
1) At first the covid denier and antivaxxer arrives in the hospital (strange huh) still in denial about the
serious nature of what they just got.
2) They will many times still sit with their Fox News and their social media, complaining about the alarms in the room.(the alarm annoying is alarming because their oxygen levels are dropping but they dont feel it.....yet)
3) After the oxygen level has reached a level where the organs aren't getting enough oxygen to survive, we place them on a higher flow. What does that mean you ask? Well
4) The air you breath every day has 20% oxygen in it. (Yup thats right). When you're placed on that little

Not only is this an awesome circle, it shows you how much I stay informed on ALL sides of the issue. I see it all so I can call out the ignorant and embrace the logical. Image

What happens to a patient with #COVID19 ? Let me clue you in:
1) So far youngest I've seen is early 20's.
2) The air we breath is only 20% oxygen (did u know that?) The people in covid ICU end up being hooked up to 60 Liters of flow (10 times that little nose cannula in movies)
3) the oxygen percentage on average is between 50 and 100% oxygen.
4) You can't match these on home oxygen so you're staying in ICU.
5) Despite these incredibly high numbers some end up breathless and are intubated and put on ventilators.
6) You're not awake on a ventilator. You
are at the mercy of medical personnel that are busy with you and all the OTHER people that have come in either unvaccinated or immunocompromised and are dying
7) There are many doctors and nurses but the MAIN person running these high flows and ventilators are Respiratory

On the subject of #CriticalRaceTheory I had a conversation with a person that is against it. I found out the misguided reason they dislike it so much. Here it goes.
-The main issue for them is that CRT tells them America is inherently racist and built on racist policies. My reply
1) That is NOT what CRT wants to teach. Critical Race Theory is an ADMISSION that America did not ALWAYS stand for what we learned after the civil rights movement.
2) There would have been no NEED for a civil rights movement without a LACK of civil rights brought on by racism
3) CRT teaches that America built itself into a new nation where all men were created equal, but at the time they did not consider African Americans even HUMAN
4) When freed, Jim Crow laws and other policies resulted in a message that: "you are free, but we dont have to accept u"
