To get a sense of what European and Asian countries think of American voters, I read many foreign newspapers when a big news breaks out in this country with regard to Trump and his followers. To say that other democracies harbor very little respect or understanding of the American voter mindset would be an understatement. Many compare the QAnon crazies, the gun-touting Proud Boys, and the Insurrection as evidence that the United States is emulating Nazi Germany circa 1930. But to really get a historical snapshot you have to read what Steven Benen wrote for MSNBC. This article tells us who we are as a nation.
Its title and subtitles read:
Why the FDA is reminding some people that they’re not horses
On any other day, it could be hilarious. But because of the times we live in, this article is tragic. Painfully pitiful and unbearably shocking, I might add.
This is an article you have to read.
Why are southern Republican rednecks taking deworming medication intended for horses and cows?
THE FREEDOM TO BE STUPID
I am absolutely certain that some people around the globe who read the article are laughing their hearts out. Not at the sight of someone believing their body can absorb livestock medication, but at the level of intelligence of the average American voter who lives in the south. In a red state. This really tells a lot about this country for someone who does not understand the logic and the common sense behind these actions.
Why are southern Republican rednecks taking deworming medication intended for horses and cows? Because they are refusing any vaccinations and because Fox News told them to do it. It’s their COVID preventive measure. The Pfizer and the Moderna vaccines are not an option for them because they take their freedom to be stupid away.
Of the thousands of people involved in manufacturing the vaccine, it did not occur to these imbeciles [Trump supporters] that not one whistleblower came forward with evidence that the US government tampered with the vaccines.
THE SUPERIOR INTELLECT OF WHITE SUPREMACISTS
In a way, I agree with their intellect. After all, deworming medication does not include any bugging devices the government implants using the vaccines as a pretext. These people have determined that the U.S. government does not plant such devices in animals, therefore it is safe to take a medication made for animals.
Forget that they were originally intended to deworm, not to kill a virus. That does not play a role in their line of thought. They are happy as long as they can keep a northern government from implanting microchips using the vaccine, which some believe are intended to read their minds and direct them to commit illegal acts. I am not kidding you!
Of the thousands of people involved in manufacturing the vaccine, it did not occur to these imbeciles that not one whistleblower came forward with evidence that the US government tampered with the vaccines. Not even the crackpot Syndey Powell intersected with this logic.
At least, they are not proposing to their viewers to inject themselves with Clorox as their Fuhrer told them to do.
THIS ARTICLE TELLS US WHO WE ARE AS PEOPLE
Many smart people around the globe know how dumb the American southern white Republican voter can be. We all knew but we did not really fully knew. But after reading this article, many have better ideas whom they are dealing with here.
Any wonder the Republican Party is happy to keep their followers in the dark believing in conspiracies and lies? The GOP knows how treasured these voters are. The fact they believe anything they are told is such a gift for the Party.
Then you have the three stooges in Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham of Fox who are publicizing the use of deworming medication to treat COVID. Should we not know what these people read and where their information comes from to push such intolerable concepts?
It would surprise me little if their information comes directly from Russian sources. The three stooges are not equipped to read medical journals or even consult with genuine doctors. Not knowing what they read is possibly an indication Russia may be behind their misinformed broadcasts.
At least, they are not proposing to their viewers to inject themselves with Clorox as their Fuhrer told them to do.
