Principles over tribes.
So many people who I thought were fair and principled just immediately abandoned all that and decided it's ok if it's happening to someone they don't like. It's pretty clear when the only real opposition is petty insults and demonstrably false justifications that fell apart forever ago. Hilarious when people try to invert the "Karen" thing when they're literally being the Karen and not minding their own business about autonomy over ones own health. And when confronted with that, they pivot back to anti-science arguments that are in no way supported by the facts.
I've never really aligned with conservatives, and still don't on many issues, but it makes no difference
who is doing it or what else they believe. I'm thankful that we have many states around here that push back on the nonsense, and have largely proven based on their outcomes that the authoritarian measures are completely unnecessary bullshit, and increasingly so as time goes on. I was the first to advocate caution when this thing was new, but we are well beyond crazy. A very short time ago the idea of a "vax passport" was an extreme conspiracy theory that everyone including Trudeau said was off the table as not the Canadian way. And that was when we thought it was MORE deadly than it is. Yet here we are.
Our governor in Washington fired unvaccinated snowplow drivers and ferry operators. Again, even the ones who ALREADY HAD COVID. We had a freak storm, and it shut down all truck routes in for days. There was an entire crew sitting up at the pass, each alone in their truck, with a plow and a blower on the front, ready to push the snow off the road and reopen a major route. Nope. Not allowed! They were told not to touch the snow and the state had to pay for a contractor to come move it. GMAFB.
When things stop making sense, it's time to stop complying. I could give two fucks if the gofundme page was set up by a Maverick party or Jesus or Kanye West or Hitler's corpse. I also don't care what other causes some rando trucker puts a sign on their truck for. No doubt when you get that many people, you're gonna get a mix of weirdos too. That's kind of the point of freedom. It's not freedom if it's only messaging you and Justin Trudeau agree with.
Don't you guys know a lot of vaccinated people who have caught covid anyway? Why are people still getting 3rd and 4th shots? I realize that once you get yours, it's no longer something to give a shit about, but how much longer are you going to carry water for Justin's bullshit?
Also, since people like Thaco are completely making things up and spreading fake news...
