    I don’t understand the party thought process: they seem to want as many births as possible, but they also seem to want as many deaths as possible. What does that get them?

    Edit: never mind, I figured it out. This is slave-owner mentality. You want/need lots of fresh new meat for the grinder, but then you want to be rid of them as soon as they are past their forced-labor prime.

      This is slave-owner mentality

      It’s also religious-war/race war mentality.

      The ‘covid is fake/masks don’t work’ talking points were cast early on, when the data were mostly being reported in high-population-density areas. I suspect they decided the pandemic was a political opportunity, to let the virus kill off minorities and democrats in the cities for them.

      Of course, they’re stupid as hell in that they killed far more of their own voters than they did anyone else.

      They will say and do whatever they think will whip their cultists into a frenzy enough to vote and keep them in power. Whether or not it kills those same voters is irrelevant to them.

      There are some of them who are just idiot true believers, but they don’t tend to be the ones in high leadership positions.

        Yeah, DeSADIST is one of those people that surely knows better. But he has to reverse virtue signal to the feces-flinging howler monkeys that make up his party, and they actually will believe whatever they are told to believe, as long as they think it will “own the libs”.

          He’s actually a tricky one for me to call. He might be in the category of people who fell for their own bullshit.

      It has nothing to do with protecting lives, it’s securing the votes of religious Americans.
