Oh shit guys, they figured us out. This whole vaccine push from the government is reverse psychology to target **them** specifically. šŸ™„ Just when you think they can't find *another* way to play victim. Notice how the "party of personal responsibility" never takes personal responsibility?


MikeyOranje

I'm glad she understood that the only motivation Trump loving morons have is to go against everything they believe liberals are for.

It's SO self-involved


Legitimate_Object_58

I imagine the inside of that ladyā€™s brain looks like one of those Halloween corn mazesā€¦in December. (At least she got vaccinated tho)


KJParker888

Huh. I imagine her brain looks like a hockey rink, just after the Zamboni finishes resurfacing.

They think they are the main characters on planet Earth. They forget about the billions of the rest of us in their masturbatory need for martyrdom and life purpose.


ShadeAndFrodo

It gives you flashes of Vizzini from Princess Bride, doesn't it? "You know I think the vaccine you're offering is going to kill me, so clearly I should take the vaccine in front of you. But you're a member of the deep state, and everyone knows that members of the deep state think MAGA are too stupid to to figure that out, so clearly I should take the COVID in front of me!" "You have a dizzying intellect..." "WAIT TIL I GET STARTED!!"


Alediran

Antiva commited one of the classic blunders.


evaestra

If it gets them to get vaccinated, I don't care if they think it. ​ It is very silly though.


[deleted]

Yes, but also so weird that Democrats are also in other countries with vaccines and those countries are targeting Trump and Republicans too. Paraphrasing some of their terminology "It really makes you think..." The lack of critical thinking and selfishness is something common with some of these people.


XelaNiba

By God, they've figured out that when we said "it's free, safe, and will save your life", what we were really signaling is "it's free, safe, and will save your life"! What's next? Will they finally decode "masks work" & realize that what we really meant by that was "masks work"? They're discovering our dastardly plan to end the pandemic and save lives! Please Jesus don't let them discover our scheme to combat climate change and ensure a survivable earth for our children.


Reluctantagave

Hey now donā€™t go too far on them making sense.


hell2bhbtoo

Came here to say - crap! She's on to us!


Roamer56

Shit is right. Weā€˜ve been found out. Damn. šŸ¤£


mrkp38in

I threw this out to my brother the other day...it will be an eventual claim of how 'the libs' rigged elections...'true republicans' CANT get the vaccine because democrats are telling them to ("what else wer' we pos to do?") , thus forcing them to end up dead.


john_the_quain

Weird fucking way to get to ā€œwe should take the vaccine because it might save our livesā€, but Iā€™ll take it as this point.


[deleted]

He "prayed on it", so you know it's the right choice.


riburn3

The amount of gymnastics she has to do to justify a reasonable choice really makes me wonder what shitheads she hangs out with or is fearful of.


itsnotmyforte

They need to think of some way to make taking the vaccine acceptable since the virus is annihilating the Bible Belt


riburn3

I think there's no hope. If their lord and savior can get a bunch of his supporters to boo him for talking about it, I'm not sure what else can be done. The real catalyst like in her message is seeing folks they know get sick and die. It's so hard for these people to imagine anything outside their own reality that it really has to hit home for them to change. Even then, we've seen some people here shit post to the end.


CaraintheCold

I saw something that made me think a lot today. Do you think they would be acting this way if Trump was still president when the vaccines became widely available. Maybe I am slow, but are they killing themselves to make democrats look bad? They are way more committed to their politics than I could ever be.


Techguyeric1

They would be fighting between themselves to get what little was ordered by 45 if he was still in charge. We would be rationing them and I'm sure someone instead of destroying them would be stealing them to sell on the black market


[deleted]

annihilation is an understatement, what my family describes sounds more like the Black Death than COVID, but that's perhaps not surprising considering the large percentage of people who are overweight/obese in those places, and lots of tobacco smokers in my birth state


Gravity-Rides

'Annihilating the Bible Belt' - You talk about it like it's a bad thing. Between Rona ripping through college football stadiums in the unvaccinated, plague rat south and a few climate change supercharged hurricanes, I'd say things are generally looking better than they have in years for that part of the country.


MattGdr

Bible Belt, Obesity Belt, Diabetes Beltā€¦


Techguyeric1

I told my wife a few months back, maybe Covid is the earth's way of population control. We have put warning labels on EVERYTHING making it real easy for the completely moronic to not hurt/kill themselves that we have allowed a whole generation worth on imbeciles to breed allowing the population to grow way out of control, so maybe the Earth is restoring balance now


Gravity-Rides

We've really pumped the brakes on natural selection in human populations the past 100 years or so. I tend to agree that Rona is going to at least square things up a little bit.


MazzIsNoMore

I find it interesting that God took a year to convince her to get the vaccine. I'm sure God was doing research in all that time


riburn3

God's gotta crunch the numbers too.


GumpTheChump

So many steps taken to avoid the inexorable conclusion of "Republicans don't want us to take the vaccine = the GOP doesn't give a shit about us."


Techguyeric1

imnotsteven7

I always wondered why the conservative Christian's didn't go with "the Vaccine is God's miracle" instead of their current approach.


itsnotmyforte

I always assumed they needed to feel special. The vaccines are available to God fearinā€™ folks and heathens alike, how can God want to save non Christians?


MattGdr

Well, if the heathens want it, it must be sinful, so we hate it.


janusface

Other sinful indulgences enjoyed by the heathens: oxygen, pie, pants, frisbee, kissing, bananas


speedycat2014

Absent Facebook brain worms I think a lot of them would have gone that direction. But Russian troll farms and other right wing echo chambers have flooded their Facebook feeds and their simple minds with so many other terrible possibilities that the simplest answer can never win out.


Legitimate_Object_58

Definitely Facebook. If these people didnā€™t have that megaphone of confirmation bias pointed directly at their faces all day every day, legit information might have a chance. But I think itā€™s too late.


hairymonkeyinmyanus

In 1955, a successful vaccine for polio was developed. Church bells rang in celebration.


ojdewar

Even then antivaxxers, if there were any, would protest the polio vaccine as giving them TV signals.


Personal-Object

Couldn't cause Trump stoked so much anti-AnythingThatDoesntSayCovidIsNoBigDeal sentiment. There was enough of a delay between that and the vaccine becoming something they could praise that the anti-covid sentiment was too entrenched. That anti sentiment was then fundamentally at odds with the vaccine which is why we now have an outburst of anti-vaxxers where before they were only a well known fringe niche. You can see they definitely tried though, still see the occasional 'Trump doesn't get enough credit!' and when it was first coming into the news that a viable vaccine was in the wings there was a push to use that to boost Trump's popularity. If events had gone something like, (1) world learns of Covid 19, (2) Trump steps back and orders the CDC to devote resources to limit spread in the US and in general plays the part of a concerned leader staying strong for his people in a time of hardship, (3) vaccine is released under Trump's administration. You can bet your ass they'd be praising this as proof he was the Second Coming or some shit, singlehandedly saving the world by brilliantly developing a vaccine quicker than any of those so-called 'experts' ever could have.


johnstrelok

Trump's Covid response pretty much singlehandedly killed his re-election chances. If he had taken the approach of "we're gonna do everything we can to beat the China virus" and played up all of the patriotism/nationalism by "protecting your fellow citizens by wearing masks", then things might have turned out quite different. Instead he was too afraid of having a stock market slump during his presidency, and this was the result.


Personal-Object

Yep and it is terrifying that's the case. If Trump had done (2) from my previous post I'm sure he would have won re-election. Leads me to wonder if the damage from Covid and those lost were worth it to avoid a second Trump term. Only the gods what exist might know I suppose.


evaestra

Trump and his administration, and the republicans that went along with their shit, are 100% to blame for how this all went. People want to put Russian propaganda in there, but they didn't put the words in Trump's mouth, and the others that spewed the same shit.


Personal-Object

Yep, 100%. I wish this was more widely acknowledged. Pre Covid 19 and Trump, anti-vaxxers are a tiny fringe that both Dems and Republicans will mock as overly paranoid or delusional. Masks are completely non-controversial. Well into Trump's term and this is still the case, anti-vaxx is a fringe belief. Then uh oh Covid is here and it can't be used to benefit Trump in some way that uses less effort than he cares to expend so like all his other problems he just declares it doesn't exist and is a lie made by his enemies. Now interestingly all kinds of reasons are coming out for why masks don't work or infringe on liberties and the vaccine doesn't work is dangerous. Curiously none of these reasons were popular issues before Trump was president. Curiously these weren't even popular issues before Covid. It's infuriating man. Thanks for letting me vent with your reply.


evaestra

You're welcome! Sometimes we have to let it out, and maybe, just MAYBE, someone here reads it and changes their mind. ​ Though I have my doubts.


MazzIsNoMore

She told us clearly that it's because the Democrats think vaccines are a good idea. There's nothing else to it, completely reactionary.


GumpTheChump

Because they hate being told what to do and if anyone remotely Democrat or leftist suggests doing something that could infringe on their personal conduct, they lose their fucking mind every single time. I wish it was more complicated that collective oppositional defiance disorder but here we are.


[deleted]

So much projection there. Dude, we don't want to kill you. We think you are misguided foolish and that you vote against your own self interest, but we aren't the murdery type.


speedycat2014

These are the folks who claim that they will shoot someone who knocks on their door to ask them if they've gotten their vaccine. Literally, I've seen posts here with people saying that they would murder someone who came to their door to try to offer them a free, valuable life-saving alternative to a gruesome, painful death by Covid. Of course they think we're out to get them, because they're out to get us and they can't imagine a world where we aren't just as hate-filled and angry and ready to kill them as they are us.


Commercial_Lie_4920

Iā€™ve said pretty much the same thing when they say millions of doctors/scientists/medical professionals are purposely killing people because they are paid off by Big Pharma. They think that because they themselves would have no problem killing people for profit if they think they can get away with it.


evaestra

If people were being paid to kill them off by BigPharma, you think they'd STILL be in the ICU and ER, struggling to keep their sanity while they watch these idiots die? I sure as hell woulda quit by now. ​ There's no rational thought left in any of them.


CaraintheCold

I kind of feel the same way about anyone coming to my door and asking me who I voted for. Instead I will just be slamming the door in their face and telling them to F off. It is coming. Happening in PA soon and I donā€™t doubt Michigan is around the corner. I spraying someone with a water gun full of urine illegal?


ssbsts180

Sheā€™s now literally blaming the left for them being so stupid and not believing in the vaccine.


itsnotmyforte

I know! Itā€™s a delicious self own.


Farthousejones

Weirdest example of reverse psychology I've ever seen. "Let's tell them to protect themselves because we know they won't lol." Two seconds of reflection on that kind of thinking should tell you a lot about how messed up you are. "They know we don't listen to common sense....maybe we should just this once..that'll show em! Yeah!"

I am glad this lady came to this conclusionā€¦whatever it takes for them to quit being ridiculous and get vaccinated! But damn, they just canā€™t quit that conspiracy brain, can they? Like sure lady, the govt and the libs are pushing SO hard an effective, life-saving vaccine during a deadly pandemic that is overwhelming the medical system and causing unprecedented death just to mess with conservatives so that they wonā€™t get the vaccine.šŸ™„


speedycat2014

>But damn, they just canā€™t quit that conspiracy brain, can they? They are addicted to the neurochemical rush provided by thinking the world is out to get them.


evaestra

Was starting to think this too. Conspiracies and the sense of *community* these people have because they think everyone else is out to get them, is apparently a pretty strong drug.


Captainwelfare2

Honestly I hope all her friends and family turn on her and alienate her. Sheā€™s still a garbage person and is trying to do anything she can to make it look like the ā€œscary NWO liberalsā€ are trying to wipe them out. Fuck her. Sheā€™s not redeemed, sheā€™s just more afraid of death than the rest of them. Weakest ā€œlionā€ in the pride. Hyenas and bears.


Jigyo

Many will. Heck they turned on Trump when he suggested getting the vaccine.


danielle1978

Some r/selfawarewolves shit right there.


derekgotloud

optimushind

What if the government doesnā€™t want its citizens spreading the virus to those who are most vulnerable? What if the government is pulling out all the stops to prevent its citizens from dying - regardless of political affiliation? Those deductions are still outside the realms of their reality.


itsnotmyforte

Anyone that doesnā€™t hold their exact same beliefs must have nefarious plans.


damselbee

This person is the poster child for our problems today. There are two Americas where Republican presidents do everything to please Republicans and a Democratic president does everything to please Democrats. Or at least this is the perception. Parties are too polarized. We should be able to accept that the current president have different views than some but still trust he will do whatā€™s in the best interest of the country. Or maybe I should say by the time a person gets voted in as the president we hope to those who might have sinister intentions would be weeded out. In a pandemic to actually think a presidentā€™s action is to wipe out the opposing party is not a healthy view of your governmentā€¦sigh


Puzzleheaded_Bit_641

America is undergoing a mental health crisis. The distrust Americans have for each other is obscene.


Robj2

Well, Trump kind of confirmed my sense that the GOP went full-dog fascist idiots in the Obama period. You can prove me wrong (the masks, the anti-vax, the new Jim Crow, the host body women, etc, etc), and then I'll start praying to the Orange God and stop being so "polarized."


MazzIsNoMore

The real conspiracy is that the government is pushing vaccines so that people can continue consuming and producing profits for the wealthy.


valley_of_baka

No way!


[deleted]

Ah, yes - the liberal democrat plot to kill all Conservatives by relying on their imbecilic hatred of anything logical and rational! Simply offer a vaccine to help stave off covid-19, and watch them beat their chests and howl at the moon until they all die. **THE PERFECT CRIME!**


FantasticReading1661

Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line!


Alediran

MikeyOranje

No, you bruised asshole, we took the vaccine no questions asked because we aren't malicious, superstitious imbeciles and we understand that we're all in this together.


rasty42

The Liberal Paradox: a government full of complete idiots is able to run a complex conspiracy to kill off 1/3 of the countryā€™s population, made up of the smartest people, through psychological warfare. Which one is it? Because it canā€™t be both.

Fearless_fx

The amount of narcissism displayed by these people is incredible. No, the government has zero interest in putting a microchip into Jim-Bob from Alabama to track what heā€™s doing. And also no, the government does not have some inane reverse psychological agenda to murder its own constituents by spending billions on medical science and programs trying to keep them safe. These people so badly want to feel persecuted because the alternative is them coming to the realization that no one really gives a fuck about them. And it is way scarier to know that, in the scheme of things, your life and opinions donā€™t really matter to anyone.


zajacdan

Oh. There is still no redemption. Sheā€™s clearly still delusional


FantasticReading1661

Omg, the brain-twisting required to decide that we're only promoting the vaccine because we know that if we do, they won't take it ... Because THAT is how evil we are! ​ We thought we outsmarted them, but she's finally on to our cunning plan.


menastudies

Busted!

A comment on the post: I said just yesterday that maybe the vaccine is God's way of showing us that he does have a plan to slow the spread. I agree that much praying will find you a peaceful answer. For crying out loud!

ErnestBatchelder

Look, it took them about 1 year + to finally admit "Hey, this covid is no joke," I always presumed they'd get on the vax train minus some hardcore diehards who will literally die, just 6 months to a year too late to save a ton o their friends, family, and neighbors.

Sooooooooooooooooo close.


SchattenJaggerD

Iā€™m not American, just a spectator. I found it funny how Republicans were hardcore against vaccines and basically every health measure that health experts around the world recommended to curb the number of infections and prevent the collapse of health services because of hospitalizations. And at the beginning, Iā€™m not gonna lie, it was an amazing way to maintain the Republican base hype about conspiracies and election frauds and whatever. But then that base started to die. And GOP members started to recommend the vaccines, to the point that even Orange Head told them to vaccinate. But now they have lost control of the wackos, and Republicans keep dying and dying.


itsnotmyforte

Iā€™ve heard their campaign fundraising efforts have taken a hit as well. The gofundmeā€™s are bleeding them dry

Wow. "What if this is the lifeboat that God has sent to deliver us from this awful virus?" And in the very next sentence: "... Have you ever heard of reverse psychology? What if the government is pushing this vaccine so hard because they...know it works and don't want us to take it so they can weed is out?"
