Shock development: A Republican in the South tells the truth

They allowed their base to get killed off to appease a malignant narcissist. They are not going to win '22 or '24 with all that blood on their hands. Fucking morons.

Several female Republicans are still semi-ok: Murkowski and Collins saved Obamacare - with an assist from vengeful McCain.

the deplorables deserve to die horrible deaths if they are not intelligent enough to value vaccines.......if they are that dull, they don't need to be reproducing or voting anyway...........

Have the Dumb-plorbables stormed the governor's mansion yet?

No accolades for her:

Ivey has not exactly helped her case. Last week, she rejected a plan by President Joe Biden in which community-based volunteers would go door to door to encourage COVID-19 vaccination and offer help to those who need it.

She also signed a bill banning “vaccine passports” in her state. That same law also banned businesses from requiring vaccination or even asking about vaccination status and banned schools, including colleges, from requiring the vaccine despite the fact that Alabama schools currently require multiple shots, with certain exemptions allowed.

Earlier this week, Ivey rejected a call for wearing masks in schools that was made by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

As usual with Republicans, she's just passing the buck. She's been as irresponsible as every other GOP leader on this issue.

Ivey’s stern words Thursday said one thing, but her actions have sent a different message.

Two months ago, the Alabama Legislature passed a vaccine passport ban on the last day of its 2021 session. Lawmakers rammed the bill through so fast, not even the bill’s sponsor, state Sen. Arthur Orr, seemed to know what was in it.

That bill prohibited schools and universities from requiring students to be vaccinated.

That bill forced private businesses to accept customers who have refused to get vaccinated.

Ivey signed that bill into law.

Two weeks ago, UAB’s leading infectious disease expert Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo warned that lagging vaccinations rates and rising COVID cases, mostly due to the Delta variant, could push Alabama back to government-mandated mitigation measures.

Ivey lashed out.

“No one asked for my input for this story, and the headline is misleading. So, I’ll respond here,” she or someone on her staff wrote on the governor’s Facebook page. “Alabama is OPEN for business. Vaccines are readily available, and I encourage folks to get one. The state of emergency and health orders have expired. We are moving forward.”

Ivy, you in danger girl!

Stupid bitch.

She finally realized it's Republicans voters who are most in danger of getting COVID and dying. Thus the turnaround.

Same goes for FOX News personalities who realized their viewers were the ones who were most at risk.

I’m concerned.

I think that the AMA and hospital lobbies are pressuring the GOP to act. They aren't afraid of lawsuits and I don't think they are even really that afraid of a shrinking pool of voters. Pharmaceuticals, doctors and hospitals are huge contributors to the GOP. They must have finally gotten through to them that be that the costs of doing nothing are going to be huge.

I will never forget predicting in April 2020 when it was reported that POC were dying at higher rates than whites that a change was coming. Literally within 3 days, OPEN EVERYTHING UP, IT’S A HOAX, IT’S NOT THAT BAD started.

Now, deplorables are the ones being killed off and like clockwork, GET VACCINATED, THIS IS SERIOUS, AHHHHHHHHH

I want to see the memo that caused these demons to change course so quickly. They have panic in their eyes.
