Roe v Wade: "This should be decided by the states!"
Fluoride in water: "This should be decided by the federal government!"
???
They're proposing to ban vaccines too, and they're not mentioning particular vaccines, just "vaccines". So no healthcare for trans people or pregnant women, and no vaccines. It's only a matter of time before someone convinces them antibiotics are the devil's work.
I mean...
At this point let's just tell them we forbid them from drinking arsenic because, even though it massively increases testosterone production, all liberal science says most humans aren't strong enough to handle it.
Fucking let moron nature take its course.
Except they'll take a lot of us with them. We need herd immunity, clean air and water, safe roads. They're going to fuck us all with their idiocy.

Antibiotics are proof of evolution, since the various microorganisms create resistances to vaccines.
Nothing says pro life like returning to 18th century childhood mortality rates 😎

Don't we have real problems to solve? Why are Republicans always making up new shit?
More like rehashing old shit. Vaccines are pretty settled science as well.
Because Democrats tend to agree with reality, so if republicans want to oppose them they must insist that reality isn't true.
Distraction 101. If we’re too busy fighting about stuff like this, we won’t come after them for the stuff they absolutely do not want to address. More often than not, the other side doesn’t really want to do the hard work either, so it’s easy to just fight with them about the meaningless shit and get credit for being the reasonable ones. Meanwhile the homeless camps get larger, the health care gets more expensive, the one income family with a pension for retirement becomes a two income family juggling multiple part time jobs with no benefits, higher education becomes something that traps you in a lifetime of loan debt, and we spend billions to elect people who will address none of it.
Pick up a fiddle and enjoy the view of Rome.

Great way to send a lot of business to dentists.
A Pynchon-level conspiracy. I suspect we’ll be seeing some more dentist-on-trampoline accidents.

where are brain worms when you need them to finish the job
starved to death.
It's like a joke unto itself. A brain worm couldn't survive in RFK's brain.

How about making sure 100% of US residents have access to clean, safe tap water first? Eliminate lead and forever chemicals. I don't feel strongly about fluoride, I do feel strongly you should be able to drink water from your kitchen sink without having to worry.
Wow are you a commie? Tap water should only contain flammable gas from nearby fracking plants! Yeehaw

There actually is a huge push to replace ALL lead service lines in the next few years. Also the EPA has extra funding for treatment of "emerging contaminants" which includes PFAS. Republicans are trying (and succeding) to reduce this funding.

"Immediately" means a tweet or Truth Social post by Trump that is so vague no one under him knows exactly what they're supposed to do to enact his order.
And then right back to Day 1 dictatorial stuff like imprisoning political opponents and the press.
What year is this? This was a scare back in the 1970.
Un-fortify the wheat now!

Let’s bring back leaded gasoline and asbestos too!!
Seriously? The bit from Dr.Strangelove? I mean, it's not terribly surprising anymore but I still wish we could get these fucks on some stupid theory that kills them more directly and immediately so they take less of the rest of us with them.
It was a John Birch Society talking point at one time. It was condemned as a communist conspiracy. Of course. Just like civil rights are a communist conspiracy.
Anyway. A few years ago I discovered that my home town newspaper had digitized all the old issues and made them searchable online. I decided to search for family members.
Found my dad mentioned in a report of a hearing on fluoridation. He was talking about it being a communist plot.
Edit:
I just listened to this episode of revisionist history recently. If you aren't familiar with the beginnings of the shit show we're living in, you might find it interesting and/or horrifying.
