    The fact that will even entertain this and other anti-scientific consensus bullshit in the conversation is the poison in the well.

    Newspapers need to just call RFK jr what he is - a child killer. Forget about this raw milk stuff and lay out the direct harm he has caused including deaths of babies from his vaccine misinformation.

    We should stop posting about Trump and his group of extraordinary morons.

    The news cycle thrives on Trump, as every decision he makes manages to anger half the population, while the other half cheers him on simply to annoy liberals and progressives. This dynamic generates more clicks and ad revenue for news outlets, allowing Trump to continue making foolish decisions just to remain in the spotlight.

    The only way to change this is to stop giving him space in the news.

      Yeah but we’re talking about stupid people. In their brains they’re probably convinced that milk is not heat treated to kill pathogens but because of government population control or something.

      This is a situation where we let Darwinism take it’s course. The people who are stupid enough to listen to this are going to drink it, get sick, and then wonder what happened. Maybe I’m more negative than usual, but fuck em. Let them fuck themselves.

    Go ahead. Let your anti science cultists get themselves sick. I don’t fucking care anymore.

    It feels like we’re living in the middle of one of those cultist documentaries, where 29 years from now the stupid fucks that survive are going to be on camera going “I know it sounds weird, but it was really compelling at the time”. Except this cult doesn’t even have fun drug fueled orgies.

      He’s going to be in a position where he may actually be able to ban pasteurized milk, vaccines, and more.

      This is the most dangerous political appointment in US history.

      I’ve seen a documentary about the Jan 6th timeline and one insurrectionist said this in an interview. He couldn’t think anymore and everything about it seemed like the best thing since the invention of toast. He allegedly saw his errors in hindsight. I’m more than convinced he is back in the cult. Can’t fix stupid.

      Drugs may be bad for one’s health, but orgies are good. So yes please. I’ll be the cult leader with prima noctae right.

        Unless he also outlaws pasteurized milk, I’ll have 0 sympathy for any adults that die drinking raw milk. This country seems to be in dire need of a toxic cleansing. I’m sad COVID didn’t do the job better.

          Dude, you have to be careful these days. Reading labels like a hawk.

          National pharmacy chains like CVS and Walgreens stock homeopathic and naturopathic remedies on the same shelves as the actual medicine (or the bullshit they tell us is as good as pseudoephedrine. Fuck you, you know it’s not). Most of it is barely labeled as such.

            If we are hopeful, that’s what RFK should go after in fact. Homeopathy.

            But, judging from where he starts, skoleotherapy, as in worm treatment, is the new fashion for you.

          While I get it and I wish people were more informed it’s because education has been dismantled on purpose. No one deserves do die, especially from the actions of others directly or indirectly. We really need to fight for better education standards and not stop, not go and dismantle the department of education…

          The only thing covid did was fhinder education with online classes and such. This is the year that the children born (19/20) right at the start of the pandemic are going to kinder they need all the support they can get…

          lets be better and do better, you can’t fight fire with fire…

            My (night school) education, personally, improved quite a lot with COVID. Yep, it was disrupted. But instead of spending two hours in transport I’d be at my desk. Instead of just sitting in a boring depressing auditory with my ADHD, ASD and possibly PTSD, I was at my desk with tea and my laptop and maybe some food and my dog nearby.

      You haven’t really tasted milk until you’ve sucked it right out a cow and finally we’ll have a government that makes sure that Americans know that taste too.

        I’ve had fresh milk from the cow. I also now why pasteurization is required. I’m willing to forego that small pleasure in order that other people don’t die horribly.

    Trump wants the population to be closer to 100 million. He said that before the start of one of his press conferences to a journalist … something to the effect that “we could use 2/3 less of all of you.”

    He is willing to kill off a lot of us to make his life easier. The USA elected a right wing Pol Pot.

      And if you kill off brown people, you solve their demographic “issue” (it’s not actually an issue, they’re just racists). Two birds with one stone.

    Try listening to the Behind The Bastards podcast about this guy if you can spare the time.

    He is messed up far more than you think.
