      At this point, it’s probably a defense mechanism. Can you imagine the kind of soul crushing realization it would be to accept that you’re responsible for your spouse’s death because you got way too deep into shit posting on Facebook? It’s way, way more comfortable to displace that blame and rationalize it away.

        Is the dude still an antivaxxer or was there a redemption arc? I feel like we need some before and after posts.

          Nah bro, you don’t come back from that. The only way to cope with that level of mental trauma is to convince yourself you’re even more right.

          He just makes a lot of derogatory comments about women now, and just how Commie Pinko in Chief Joe Biden is ruining all the things. He shut up about COVID

            So…he didn’t really learn anything from one of the darkest things that could possibly happen to a person. How…sad.

              The problem is that most conservatives are simply incapable of introspection. Everything they do in life is in an effort to not be wrong about anything.

                How could I be wrong about anything when it’s never my fault? /s

  • The fact that freedom in the US is conflated with not getting the vaccine is incomprehensible. Something like vaccination should be mandatory with very limited exceptions for truly legitimate cases.

      I’m old and I remember you just got your little shot card filled up before you went to school and that was that.

      I love vaccines. I get any one I can.
