They know, but they can afford going abroad for treatment if needed, so they don't give a fuck.
They think its hurting them or controlling them and thats why they use codliver oil and witchhazel.
Right, alternative medicine. To quote Tim Minchin, "Do you know what they call 'alternative medicine' that has been proved to work?" Medicine."
The dinosaurs that lived immediately prior to the great flood just a few thousand years ago.
And some of them will tell you that pterodactyls are dinosaurs while denying that dinosaurs exist!
Now I am wondering what one of those idiots would say if you told them ivermectin was made by scientists. 🤔
I was at one of the local rallies. I think the organizers also know that this event alone won't be effective & is only the beginning; there will be more to come. A lot more if (and most likely, when) the administration doesn't comply with the demands.
Fun fact... My local rally literally featured a startup founder who scaled their company & attracted investors using NIH funding as seed money, and a community college student from a nearby red state. I would imagine that even the most die-hard traditional conservatives would find such stories inspiring/good use of tax payer money... Science support has traditionally been bipartisan too.
Again, if they don't comply, more actions would come
Someone on my Facebook posted a video with cherry picked facts to make Russia look like the good guy over the war with Ukraine. That’s an easily verifiable history. People are dumb.
Russia is the bad guy. Was that a typo?
Yeah, I’ve edited it. Thank you.
Of course!
I’m sure many people who are science deniers will point to “the Bible” for facts. Try to quiz them on things in that book, I am sure they couldn’t answer a single question.
No thank you I well not trust nerds. Zuch Elon they are all nerds.
Elon is not a nerd, maybe a geek.
Not every neurodivergent is a nerd.
I’ll allow him dweeb and that’s it
That’ll totally teach the people who completely ignore all science always a huge lesson.
Other than vote what else would you suggest these people do? Just sit back and wait for shit to get worse? At least they are out there doing SOMETHING.
Yes, and I’m sure that “doing something” makes them feel better. But it’s not gonna change a damn thing.
If I knew what would change a damn thing, I’d be doing it too. So, aside from wasting time in useless protests that the Trump administration is absolutely going to ignore, do you have some magic spell that can cause them to change their mind? Because protests aren’t gonna do it. Petitions aren’t gonna do it. Hell, someone trying to shoot Trump twice didn’t do it.
What do you propose as a solution? Just curious.
Not the guy you were talking to, but what I propose is on the one hand, donate and volunteer to campaigns targeting the 2026 midterms. Especially ones that can primary centrist or complement Democrat incumbents, but still win the general election. The Democratic party needs more firebrands right now.
On the other hand, in case our fears are true and we simply don't have any more fair elections, I suggest concurrently joining your local Socialist Rifle Association and making plans for resistance outside the bounds of the system. Take a first aid class, get your cardio going, become familiar with Signal, Tor, and other ways of covert communication. Save money. Make a bugout bag and get a plan to leave asap if necessary.
“try harder” or “arm for revolution”…. stellar choices we have
What other choices could there be? Join the fascists?
it’s not my job to think for you
do I have to do all of your thinking for you?
Just having a conversation. You know, the entire point of platforms like this. But I guess shutting down the coversation is cool too.
If all of your “conversations “are trolling arguments, I pity anyone who has contact with you.
You sure have a lot of opinions on what not to do.
I enjoy the fact that hurts you. Please, provide me more opportunities to cause you pain.
Or you could just stop talking. Are you capable of that?
Ha! Not sure what gave you the idea that your dumb words and thoughts hurt me in the least.
Are you capable of empathizing with others? All signs point to no.
What do you mean?
Anti trans troll, block and ignore
I want them to have to explain their idiotic opinion so they can fail to defend it
You forgot the most important step: report!
