The death cult is horrifying

This is legitimately crazy. This is people I know, on my social media, who used to not be crazy people.

A week ago they were saying "heart disease kills more people". I finally got them to stop saying that since Sars-Cov-2 is America's leading cause of death at this moment.

Now it's "the mortality rate is really low if you're under 70 and not obese", and I don't even know what to do with that.

"Yes, a lot of people are dying, but many of them are old and fat"? #*&$ing functioning adults are saying this, with their names attached to it?

I would have thought that the MAGATs would be the most scared of the pandemic. I mean, they’re the ones who need guns because they always fear someone is going to break into their house. They’re survivalists and they fear anyone who isn’t White.

But since they handed their brains over to Fox and Trump they brainlessly do what they’re told, exposing themselves and their children to a deadly virus.

I would have never thought they were that stupid. I mean so stupid that they put themselves right out there exposing themselves to death.
