how does someone descend into this madness?

My moms a nurse and she has the Fox News brain rot as well. She finely changed her tune once Covid started spreading like wild fire in Dallas-Fort Worth. Now she stays at home or is at work. Which is good because she’s 67, 2.5 years removed from recovering from cancer, is a 45 year smoker and has heart and lung disease.

Covid would probably be a death sentence.

Oh it is. She could retire in 6 days with full social security retirement but she won’t. Her hospital originally only had 4 Covid patients during the first few months. They have had a large uptick since mid June. Anyone the needs a vent and the most serious of cases they bounce to a larger hospital. They only keep “mild” hospitalization cases. I dread the day I get a phone call saying she tested positive. I hope it doesn’t happen but it very well could because the people in her town don’t wear masks.
 
.And once again the youthful segment of society (well, at least 100 of them) show their invincibility mindset. It's one of the reasons that the mean age for new cases in my county in FL is 25.

"43 new coronavirus cases have been linked to one large house party in Michigan AND there were an additional 66 people who are believed to have had face-to-face contact with a confirmed case. That number does not include family members who are immediate household contacts of the newly identified cases. Most of the new cases are young people between the ages of 15 and 25."

"The party and subsequent events have led to additional exposures at retail stores, restaurants, businesses, canoe rentals, clubs, camps, athletic teams and a retirement community."


 
Was going to comment one way to reduce no mask wearers on the street is to arrest them for assault. But didn’t expect the outcome in this case was he attacked an officer and killed.

It's stochastic terrorism. Trump & the right wing noise machine know full well that they shift the Overton window in the direction of violence & push marginal personalities over the brink. They do it anyway.
 
Local dude cries over spilled milk as concerned bystanders look on.

The Bundy assholes again. Not content just to be free loaders off the same government they claim to resist, they and their supporters are also entitled to ignore the science of a contagion? Yeah fuck those people. Masks hurt their feels, and we all know that conservative(often "pro-life") feels are more important than other people's lives or rights, right? Please go do something stupid again Ammon, I'm sure there's a tarp out there with your name on it.

Don't want to wear a mask? Fine. Shouldn't be allowed to utilize ANY public facilities. No roads, no sidewalks, no city water, sewert. Fuck these people.
These people can't leave the gene pool fast enough. I have zero sympathy for them. It's unfortunate that those around them are the ones who will also pay the price for their dumb-fuckery. These are the new smokers who don't give a shit about their second hand smoke. Fuck them all.
 
My mum was a nurse too. She was a lite anti-vaxxer before it became cool, and a pro-lifer, and pro not telling doctors things about her condition.
My late mother was an RN and a life-long Republican, but she was never in favor of any of the things you listed above.
