The
Dark Matters
One of the most absurd aspects of the pandemic are the many
pious types who have stood before the cameras and stated
out loud, where everyone can hear them, that Jesus will
save them from Covid.
To which
I always respond, accompanied by throwing
something at the TV (or monitor, as the case may
be) "Who do
you
think
MADE
the virus, ya dang fool? Yeah, Jesus's dad. So take it
up with him, not Mr. Fauci!" (See classic cartoon
below.)
---------------
The gist of this cartoon isn't strictly aimed directly
at the Trump-voter crowd. It applies to anyone who deludes
themselves
with the notion that this corporeal existence we all
share on Earth is transitory, that our ultimate reward
lies up there in the clouds, that any atrocity they might
commit is acceptable because God smiles upon them. Therefore
they sing their hateful little songs, dance their
hateful little dances,
and wax merry
as they pollute and arm themselves to the teeth, reaping
vengeance on their differently-skinned neighbor because,
rest assured, they picked the right all-powerful horse
in the
religion
sweepstakes and all them other sinners can just suck
it.
-----------------
In the beginning of the pandemic there were those in
Right-wing media who insisted that a 1% death from COVID-19
was acceptable,
which only proves how lousy they are at math. "So what
if a few hundred thousand Americans die", they opined.
Uh, try three and a half million, me buck-os.
What if the original calculation of fatality was 5% of
the population, or 10%? Considering how many Republicans
have already died as a result of resisting vaccination
for political reasons I think it would have been worth
it for this country if Trump voters had stood their ground
until a full 10% were piled up in mass graves. Just
saying.
