the difference between GOP and us [View all]

We need to stop framing covid vaccination as a public health issue, if we want herd immunity. We should instead play to GOPers selfish instincts.

"Yes, it is YOUR body. Yes, it is YOUR health. It is YOUR choice.
And, I don't give a damn if karma kicks you in the ass for it. Honestly, I hope it does. The sooner the better, without collateral damage to the community if possible."

Framing vaccination as a public health issue is what socialists do. But what would a selfish capitalist do? What would a selfish, but uneducated capitalist do? A capitalist would say:

"I don't give a shit if you die. The vaccine is first-come, first-served. Don't get vaccinated. That just means less vaccine competition for me and my liberal friends. I will get mine and my family get theirs. Fuck you and yours. "

This is exactly the way a capitalist would say it. And it is the only language these idiots understand.
