Republicans Are Apparently Trying To Get Their Followers Killed

Republican lawmakers and personalities continue to push ridiculous lies about the safety of the COVID vaccine, as well as the COVID policies of the Biden administration. This is happening as COVID infections are going back up, and as the death toll is almost exclusively people who haven't been vaccinated. So by pushing these lies, Republicans appear to be trying to kill their own base, with isn't a good business strategy - and its definitely a bad electoral strategy. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Right now COVID cases are increasing in 24, out of 50 states here in the United States. Almost half the country is watching is COVID cases. Once again, go on the rise. As the Delta variant continues to spread across the country, Fewer than half of them, Americans Are fully vaccinated. And that number changes dramatically When broken down by political party, Roughly 70% of Democrats are fully vaccinated, Fewer than half of Republicans say They're even going to get the vaccine. There is a massive divide here in the United States,

And it's being driven by idiot Republicans who at this point, I'm firmly convinced are actively just trying to kill their followers. Think about that for a minute. Okay. You've got people. Charlie. Kirk has been one of them this week. That's really been just driving me insane, but basically talking about the tyranny of vaccines and the, the forced vaccinations that are coming, uh, Marjorie Taylor green, uh, referenced that, which isn't actually even a thing. Uh, chip Roy posted a picture of a syringe and said, come inject it. You know, basically saying that Biden's going to come and inject you door to door because they misconstrued something. You said earlier in the week, all of these morons are basically trying to convince their followers

To not get vaccinated and against the deadly pandemic. That's been raging for 18 Months. Why, why What's in it for you? Like, that's the question. I think we need answer first. Like, are, are you on the, on the payroll of big anti-vax? Is that a thing now? Okay, so there's not that probably probably. So why push this? You

Have nothing to gain from these people, not getting vaccinated. On the other hand, though, you do have plenty to lose, and that is quite literally the lives of your audience. You know, if you kill them, they can't subscribe to your YouTube channel anymore. If you kill them, they can't vote for you in the next election. But these Republicans, I swear to God are so dumb. They don't know that they don't realize that going out there spreading lies about all the Delta Varian. If you just turn off CNN, it goes away. As Lauren Bovert says spreading lies and Laura Bovert by the way, representative from Colorado, which is now seeing a massive COVID spike, they're just, they're getting their people killed. They're getting their constituents killed. They're getting their audience killed. They're getting their Twitter followers killed. Why that's what drives me insane about this. There is literally no coherent reason why they would be doing, unless they're trying to extend the length of the pandemic just to make Biden look bad. That is the only possibility. And it's a very dumb one because killing your audience in the process. Yeah. You may win the battle, but in the long run, you're definitely going to lose the war when all your followers are In the ground, because they died from the pandemic that you told them, wasn't that big of a deal.
