I'm fairly certain, they just all got together to make a list of all the stupid things they could do to own the libs.
The neat thing about this one, is that It only hurts the people that are going to follow him. The people who didn't vote for that side know better.
You would hope so, but there’s just as many ‘crunchy’ people on the left as there are in the right.
WTF is going on in this thread? Are milkies the new tankies?
Today's Republican Party didn't get into their position of awesome power by listening to experts....

I wanna say yay Darwin will save the day but I'm too afraid of intentional sabotage on pasteurized milk.
It's a good day to drink oat milk.
Lol you know what would be 5d chess to get people to become vegan by Sabotaging all the food production standards to 18th century level.
Let's see here, RFK wants to ban vaccines and promote raw milk.
There is currently a bird flu epidemic in dairy cattle from bird droppings getting into the feed.
Consuming raw milk is one of the few ways humans can become infected with bird flu.
I'm sure this will be fine and the virus won't mutate to allow for human to human transfer, it if it does luckily it only has a 56% mortality rate compared to the Covid morality rate of ~4% during its peak.
You might misunderstand. The bird droppings did not accidentally get into the cow feed. Humans put it there intentionally to save money. Just search for "poultry litter" or "broiler litter" and "cattle feed" if you don't believe me. The people who came up with this idea are actually proud of it.
In the US, right now, the dairy farms where they let the cats drink raw milk saw half their cats die.
This is an actual thing.
RFK is secretly a flu virus wearing a human suit.
[preface and disclaimer: I’m remembering off the top of my head something I read over 30 years ago, details may not be exactly correct]
Not sure whether you remember the chapter of Sideways Stories from Wayside School, by Louis Sachar, in which there was a student who nobody liked, who was a real asshole and wore a stinky raincoat. The kids kept trying to take off his raincoat, but underneath was another, stinkier raincoat, just layers and layers of progressively stinky raincoats, and with every raincoat removed, the kid just became a bigger asshole and his laugh louder and more high-pitched.
At the very end, he turned out to be a dead rat in a pile of stinky raincoats.
That’s what the whole administration is shaping up to be. Except we knew this was coming and allowed it to happen, so I guess that, ultimately, we are the dead rat.
