This is a natural outcome of conservatism, what is conservatism trying to conserve? The existing power structures in society of course. So the power of God over man, of men over women, of white people over other races, and of rich over poor. Science must be rejected because science gives evidence against the supremacy of god, men, the white race and the rich.

This has been their platform literally forever; rather than have to learn anything or improve themselves, just deny that knowledge or betterment exists.

the right wing racists are using a same tactic in Australia to block the indigenous people from having a voice in parliament with a 'if you don't know vote no' campaign. we're having a referendum which means we're changing the constitution, the gist is we're going to finally properly recognise the aboriginal people (the ones that lived here for 60k years plus) and give them a permanant ability to voice their concerns in parliament.

it's disgusting and transparent for the anti information angle, however it sadly seems to be working and now likely the people that have endured mass genocide will again be silenced by the white right elites. Australia will remain one the most racist places on the planet.

You can’t fix stupid.

Isn't killing your constituents a bad long term political strategy?

They see science as an antagonist belief system to theirs. They don’t understand what science is and they don’t want to.

I, for one, respect their right to die early of easily preventable natural causes. I don't like that conservatives are a danger to everyone else, but they were deadly toxic long before Covid.

just dont look up.

everyone who votes Republican is as intentionally ignorant as possible, and you're all assholes because of it

a bare majority of Republicans told a Politico poll that they think the COVID vaccine is safe and effective — 52%, to be precise

Still somehow quite the indictment against Fox News.

They've done this for 50 years, what makes this news?

Dumbasses love Google though. My anti-science anti-government dirtbag relatives cannot stand science but they use Google for everything because they’re dumb as fuck.

Without it they would never have been able to connect with other dumbasses “prepping” for the end times or whatever they think.

The world is so much better with them living where you can’t grow food.

Vaccination for covid is no guarantee you will not get covid. Being vaccinated helps with the chance you'll NOT go to the hospital over it or die. But there is still a possibility of it, but being vaccinated helps a lot

Everyone I know is vaccinated. There is one woman who still isn't and when she had covid she almost died. But she thinks the government is tracking people with the vaccine and it changes our DNA. She gets her news from Facebook post from the right.

Biden wants people to get the new covid vaccine when it gets approved.

I hope that they say no to medicine so that getting a GP gets easier.
