Republicans and Conservatives have been showing
poor decision making and horrible judgment.
Bringing harm to the Nation and more so to their constituents
and those under their influence.
Yet there is no accountability or consequence.
They are still voted in, listened to and trusted.
Treated as if their words are direct from God.
These leaders and influencers are treated like Lords.
How many slips and falls before the call for an intervention?
In another world there would be charges of murder, malpractice or negligence.
But the believers are convinced that their leaders are untouchable.
That they are unstoppable.
The leaders will their minions to function as expendables.
They must be willing to terrorize and kill.
Take away freedoms, limit free-will.
Those who don’t follow that plot are not patriots.
They must also be the sacrificing lot to get martyrdom.
We saw that playbook before.
Which drew our scorn.
That fat we had to trim when the players were Muslim.
But with the American votes, such leads and oaths are noble.
Another hypocritical move.
A staple groove that Americans easily slip into.
What once was a character flaw is now to live and strive for.
The wilderness cry is just a nuisance to get by.
The loud voice is what they are tuned in to hear.
All else are on mute and are believed to be from sources to fear.
So they don’t switch the channel or vary their likes.
The one-trick ponies become their delight.
They are so afraid of any kind of mix.
That death to themselves and their enemies seems a reasonable fix.
The enemies that have brought US to the state we are in –
Have been the Republicans, Conservatives and Right-Wing.
The racists and the narrow-minded who stand with hate.
And Americans who agree with their debates.
Following those who sell opinions as news.
Deliberately lie, deceive and confuse.
The ones who say they will make America great.
But they are suspect at what they mean to create.
They show no respect to the Constitution.
And are attacking America’s institutions.
Those are the dangerous ones.
Causing unrest and division.
Bringing more danger to US and the world.
As many stay unvaccinated even though they have easy access to vaccines.
But they have excuses and reasons.
It’s one thing to be afraid of needles and have concerns about side effects.
But many defect because they have already been injected
with conspiracy theories and lies.
Pumped with politics, drained of science.
Politically driven defiance.
Under the cover of – “I’m not a doctor”, and “just questioning.”
Fox News personalities sow seeds for doubts to slip in.
Then minimize the importance and effectiveness of the vaccine.
After standing with the man who claimed the virus wasn’t real.
Government encouragement increased strikes from the right.
You would think they would ease the political fight to save some lives.
But they are just ensuring that “personal freedoms stay intact.”
“Just questioning the facts”, no harm in that.
“Keeping the government and scientists in check”.
Making sure that they don’t over-step.
Because Fox News always says, does and knows what’s best!
They say a disclaimer that they are not experts.
While they use their status and influence to lessen the experts’ worth.
They know very well, it’s junk that they sell.
And that they even served as the ex-president’s intel.
They move as if they are innocent.
That’s a big pill to swallow.
Yet their viewers still follow.
And it’s to the vaccine shot that the questioning never stops.
Even when the facts are laid out or in their face.
They swat away as they would a bug.
Denial of truth has been their repellant.
While they allow the bugs that sting.
Those are welcomed in.
Guess when you’re high on adrenaline – it numbs the pain you’re feeling.
That’s why Trump, Republicans and Conservatives keep pumping.
Knowing if they ever let up – there will be discomfort.
So they concoct a placebo as well.
One that messes with people’s head.
Not caring about any side or long term effects.
But placebos are limited help to Covid-19.
The mind may provide temporary relief.
But vulnerability to the disease remains.
And the virus doesn’t know it’s supposed to be fake.
Nor can it access what is at stake.
That’s for the people to do.
And when they refuse to, they become a threat.
Not just to them and theirs, but to others who may be near.
When the actions or inactions of some, present a danger to all of US.
There has to be an intervention for society’s protection.
That’s coming now as vaccine mandates – what so many hate.
A sure protest if it comes from the government.
Lessening when there is needed empowerment.
Those on the right have been dimming the lights on reasonable and rational.
Their reaction to damage and harm has been uncaring and casual.
Imagine Fox News personalities and their support
have been publicly decrying any semblance of a vaccine passport.
Yet their H.R. issued one of the sort.
Employees will be freed from the daily routine by proving they’re clean.
That’s if they register for the vaccine pass.
The same that they trashed.
How is that any different from what was proposed for public Joe?
They’ve successfully tainted the messenger and the messaging.
While they implement their own kind in hiding.
So much disinformation about the virus and the vaccine.
While they protect themselves behind the scenes.
It’s one thing to lead the sheep wrong.
It’s another to know that it will lead to harm so you don’t go along.
Even at crossroads to protect and save.
They’ve chosen to ride the political and cultural waves.
While villainizing the people working hard to take US beyond the pandemic.
Continuous, meticulous and systematic.
How many times have their voters and followers been let down and turned around?
Trump said he would accompany the protestors to the Capitol.
Then he leaves the National Mall to a cozy seat.
Watching it play out on live TV.
Texas focusing on voting rights when there were no glitches.
Not working to fix their energy grids that broke when the air went frigid.
Arizona hosting a bogus audit.
Taxpayers’ money direct to a conspiracy theorist’s pocket.
And don’t forget all of the negative that came because of how they handled Covid.
Yet people still choose to move forward with these liars, cheaters and cowards.
Who seem afraid to live as their followers do.
They hustle as many benefits to themselves through.
Not wanting to leave the comfortable bed they’ve made for themselves.
It’s an obvious call who has been steering Americans wrong.
America now into the 4th wave of Covid hell.
Overflowing ICU’s, no empty hospital beds in areas governed by red.
They dictate from the level of the State.
Remove the power and the rights of the locals.
How’s that for the Party demanding freedom and against government control?
Except when it’s their own.
If only for a few, some Republicans and Fox News personalities
have been changing their tune.
They are acknowledging Covid-19 and the need to take the vaccine.
Did they grow a conscience or are they being transactional and practical?
They can’t deny the stark and concentrated spreads nor the economic threats.
The Dow Jones went down because of concerns.
So now action by those because it hits where it hurts?
Is it that promoting the lies now, no longer make sense?
Because it’s not beneficial to them?
Is their loss greater than their gain – thus some willingness to change?
Some praise the fact that they now come clean.
But how can they so easily shelve the fact that they lied and deceived?
Easy to say – Better late than never, then quickly move on.
Keep funding the liars and let them keep the bull-horn.
As they are still used by some as the primary news source.
And they will continue to push their political course.
That seems to be the ride to the conservative side.
Now vaccination centers are empty but hospitals are full.
Young people and children are vulnerable.
All numbers up for infections and deaths.
So many Americans are not vaccinated yet.
With restrictions lifted, people are slack.
It’s getting so bad that there will be no choice but to get back to strict.
Mandate limits.
Americans would be in a different place today.
If they didn’t allow Trump and his Administration to have it their way.
If they didn’t let politics get in the mix and reject the scientists.
Politicians leading in matters of public health.
When they’ve only shown a care to their gain and for their wealth.
All along they’ve done wrong with Covid-19 and the vaccine.
How long will they be allowed to have unaccountability and maintain immunity?
