Saw a dermatologist the other day and when she saw my "WOKE, it's not the insult you think it is" T-shirt [View all]

We began to discuss how much both of us hate the piece of shit.

I then said to her how crazy is it that the CDC director was fired and all of the people at CDC working on vaccines were fired, and that there was drastic restrictions of the Covid vaccine etc. She shocked me by saying she knew none of us, was unfamiliar with all of it.

Yes most of her friends are doctors and none of them have ever mentioned it, she assumes none of them know either, and I live in a very liberal city in a very blue state.

When I was at Labor Day protest today the vast majority of the other people there, and there were hundreds, were OLDER people.

Not only are younger people not involved they really have no idea what’s going on and find most of us an annoying pain in the ass that we keep talking about it. Not all of them, please don’t come back with that, I’m talking about millions of them though the same ones that couldn’t be bothered to vote on election day

Don’t know who to blame or what probably social media.


Now people can stop saying that those of us who say they’re going to take our vaccines are overreacting, you can stop saying that, or the ones who assured me the Supreme Court will NOT let the piece of shit get away with anything he wants, you could stop doing that too please.
