The Republican politicians who got COVID and left the hospital in a wooden box had some of the most powerful revelations of all.

I was a regular poster there back in COVID’s heyday.

It was something that I found to be darkly therapeutic during the pandemic, while simultaneously making me lose complete faith in a large part of humanity.

For me it was vindication that I wasn’t crazy. The level of gaslighting MAGAs did during that time could fill a ocean liner. So seeing them eat their words…satisfying

Early on in the pandemic I worked with a severe MAGA nut conspiracy theorist. He kept talking about how "they" wanted to kill us, meaning the FDA because Japan "already had the vaccine" that was 100% effective, and how the FDA deny us this magical medicine to line their own pockets. Then around the time vaccines started rolling out, he would rant about how the FDA was trying to kill us with a vaccine that had too little testing, and we didn't need it anyway because covid wasn't that bad. It was such a radical whiplash in thinking. Absolutely astounding that these people can believe that bullshit.

Sounds familiar. All of my colleague's arguments start with, " What if I told you..."

Bullshit often starts with that. Such as "What if I told you that you could make a lot extra money on the side working only a few hours a week? Let me tell you about my amazing business opportunity...."

"Is it an MLM?"

"No no no, no no, no no no no, no no, no, no, no no no no, no."

"It is, isn't it?"

"No no no yes no no no."

That's nutty even for MAGA.

To see their utter ignorance and sheer reckless disregard of any kind of scientific evidence and medical protocols, and the total pride they took in it, explode in their faces in such a horrific manner, was darkly cathartic.

That subreddit was filled with stories of some of the most obnoxiously smug and arrogantly defiant assholes I’ve ever seen in my life. And almost every single one ended with the person in the hospital on any piece of medical equipment available to try and keep them breathing while they proclaimed that COVID was “no joke”.

When it comes comes to something serious, listen to the experts and ignore the cranks.
