When Karma strikes...

Post by Madner Kami »

Death of Hillsborough GOP member from COVID-19 causes financial problems for party
The Hillsborough County Republican Party alerted federal election regulators Tuesday that it may file its monthly campaign finance reports late because a key member of the organization died Saturday from COVID-19.

Prior to his death, Gregg Prentice developed and maintained software that electronically tracked donations to the Hillsborough County GOP and supplied data for the organization’s monthly finance reports. None of the other officers knew how to operate Prentice’s software, the party told the the Federal Elections Commission.

[...]

The party Prentice devoted many hours to had actively mobilized local residents lately against coronavirus mitigation measures, such as masks in schools. On Aug. 27, the party featured Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a leading skeptic of coronavirus vaccines, at its annual fundraiser. Pictures posted on the party’s Facebook page showed attendees celebrated at a maskless, indoor affair.

[...]

In November, Prentice and Waurishuk appeared on a podcast during which the host referred to the country’s public health crisis as the “plandemic,” a term made famous by a conspiratorial, debunked film about the origins of the novel coronaivrus. The host said the virus was designed to “crush small businesses and consolidate power in the multinational corporations.”

[...]

Kimball went on to suggest that Tampa General was “not a safe place to go,” repeating a pervasive myth that the life-saving treatment at hospitals was the cause of many recent coronavirus deaths. Two days after Prentice’s death, Kimball called for an investigation into Tampa General during the public comment period of the Tampa City Council meeting and accused the hospital of “intubating people illegally.”

So many of the big covid deniers have died of covid in the last few months I'm numb to it. This is a cult mass suicide on an unprecedented scale.

It’s been very telling looking at the pattern in those deaths though, because it reveals who’s in on the grift (notice a complete lack of, say, Fox News personalities in the death tolls) and who’s a true believer.

Oh the plus side seeing this thing rip through all of Rush Limbaugh’s successors has been a trip.

Ok, I stumbled about this "thought"-piece:
Nolte: Howard Stern Proves Democrats Want Unvaccinated Trump Voters Dead

Do you want to know why I think Howard Stern is going full-monster with his mockery of three fellow human beings who died of the coronavirus? Because leftists like Stern and CNNLOL and Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Anthony Fauci are deliberately looking to manipulate Trump supporters into not getting vaccinated.

Nothing else makes sense to me.

In a country where elections are decided on razor-thin margins, does it not benefit one side if their opponents simply drop dead?

If I wanted to use reverse psychology to convince people not to get a life-saving vaccination, I would do exactly what Stern and the left are doing… I would bully and taunt and mock and ridicule you for not getting vaccinated, knowing the human response would be, Hey, fuck you, I’m never getting vaccinated!

So, the Anti-Vaxxers got manipulated into being Anti-Vaxxers by the Left, so that the right-wingers get infected and die, so the Left gets a bigger share of the vote. Is this still three-dimensional chess or is it already 4D?

Or maybe the writer knows it's bullshit, and he's trying to manipulate his readers into getting vax'd, by convincing them that they've already been manipulated out of getting vax'd?

Well, they WERE, but it was so they'd get a DIFFERENT vax, which snowballed...

You know the thought did occur to me that the more of these right wingers deny the vaccine or the precautions placed to prevent covid, then ore they die. The more they die, the more the left would have a lead. I mean maybe within the next year or two, Democrats will actually have a semi permanent lead over the Republicans due to Covid killing off too many of the voters.

Just a thought. Before Covid though, I honestly thought the anti vaxxers were a liberal thing. I never looked into it or anything but it felt like something like that.

But it makes sense for a whole party that does its best to deny science of any kind unless it directly contributes to them. Climate change, Evolution etc.
I got nothing to say here.

I scavenged a copy of the NY Times off a have at work and they had a map of the current Covid hospitalizations nationwide. The red area were the strongest hit and, well... They're definitely the RED areas of the USA...

(Note: map is dated from last week, couldn't find png of today's map.)
