“Whipple in July pushed for a city ordinance requiring face coverings to be worn in most public spaces in an effort to curb the spread of coronavirus."

“Do you realize that in addition to water, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juice, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream – ice cream, Mandrake, children’s ice cream!”

Sweden has been excoriated for all the old people who died last spring due to inadequate covid precautions. Yet if the US could even manage the laissez-faire approach of Sweden, the daily death rate in the US right now would be 30-60 a day, not 800. In complete suppression countries like China (0 deaths yesterday, 13 cases in a population of 1.4 billion) or New Zealand (0 deaths, 3 cases yesterday in a population of 3 million), the need for masking isn’t even challenged. At this point, we need to change our national anthem lyrics to:

O’er the land of gun nuts and home of fucking idiots.

They’ve always been here. Trump’s rhetoric has simply made them come out of hiding. Trump bragged that he had given a voice to people who had none. These people are among them.

This will be covered on Fox as “Hero firefighter jailed for opposition to mask ordinance”.
My favorite part is that he had to ask for the Mayor’s address. They are just not sending their best.

There is no shortage of native stupidity in Kansas. See Kobach, Kris W. Although Kobach was born in Wisconsin, his rampant stupidity is most firmly associated with Kansas. It is one of the most popular answers to the perennial question, “What’s the matter with Kansas?”
