I'm a VERY conservative guy, but I must say the one issue I've seen conservative Americans become hysterical and nonsensical about has been the virus and masking up. I can't fathom how many of these folks I STILL talk to who either don't buy it at all or think it's a media conspiracy of "just a flu." "Only people in their 80's die from it!"
My wife has watched tons of people die from it, and I know people at work who have lost as many as FIVE family members from it! People in their 20's die from it, kids can die from it, and the biggest thing I just can't get into the heads of these folks is that death isn't even the main reason the world had to shut down and react so harshly! It's about NOT OVERWHELMING THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM! Imagine the death toll globally when all the hospitals have sick or dying nurses, doctors, and EMT's. Imagine the sheer scope of death you'd see when cardiac patients can't get surgery or stints put in because......the hospital bed are at capacity and too many doctors and nurses are out sick. Imagine how many cancer patients wouldn't receive chemotherapy and surgery, how many appendectomies that wouldn't happen, how many patients who SHOULD go to the hospital but wouldn't because of COVID. The potential for health care infrastructure shut-down was tremendous with this virus, and yet these people keep up the Jewish space lasers stuff.
I'm truly at a point in my life where I'm all-out disgusted. On the left we have idiots telling me that you can have a men's genitals and be a woman. We have the left celebrating obesity like it's just amazing. We have the left jumping for joy at race divisions and rioting and cancel culture. The left adores aborting babies and basking in chaos. They're atheists and they want to watch the world burn. Then you have the right wingers who create fake internet memes attributing quotes to Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain and Hitler that are patently absurd and BELIEVING THEM all the while thinking every time a toilet flushes there is a conspiracy. They ignore numbers, data, and lies are ok as long as they're by "our folks." Conservatives are on the right side of most issues, but lie and manipulate or give bad arguments and throw temper tantrums when things don't go their way.
And now we're stuck with "critical race theory" in our California curriculum and LGBT fascism in our state frameworks.
I'm really fed up with things. There are no good political solutions. The Lord is our only solution, and a wonderful solution He is. But, I'd be lying if I said I grieve at the thought of raising my kids around this filth. For my kids to turn on the TV or internet and see two men kissing or abortion talked about like picking up ice cream at a Dairy Queen, or pandemics cast off as a joke, it's just clown world.
