      Yep. If you cull the weak fast enough, you never have more than a handful of sick people at a time. Mom taught me that!

    Well the average conservative is 50 years old, and the average liberal is 35 years old (in the USA). That alone can explain a higher death rate.

      Well since they are all for raping children, this is unfortunately not happening.

      Well if they have children and see that they died from a purely preventable disease it might be a good thing.

    I bet rich conservatives aren’t. Because for them it’s just a grift and they will get the newest stemcell medicine as fast as possible regardless.

    Darwin would have called this “thinning the herd.”

      Actually that would be Herbert Spencer. Ironic, since Conservatives admire him. At least the ones who can read.

    These stories make me feel a little better, then a remember that herd immunity is a thing and these people are straight up blasé about their relatives choking to death from something preventable.

    Herd immunity also works if you just shoot the deranged ones right?

    Can we make this a law?

    Partisans have to follow ideological discipline… if conservative, you must:

    not get vaccines
    Not have abortions
    Not be allowed subsidized food or health care
    Follow all tenets of your Christian religion
    Etc…

        As long as also the liberals follow the same law practing what they preach, it would be interesting to see who will survive in the end.

          I fully agree, but am having trouble coming up with examples for the liberals like i could for the conservatives…

          it would be interesting to see who will survive in the end.

          This isn’t even a debate. Liberals, because they listen to scientific experts. And they’re more likely to achieve a higher eductaion.

      I knew at least 10 Conservative people who are now dead because of their devotion to the prosperity gospel. Problem is, once they were too sick for it to matter, they begged for medical attention, which you and I paid for.

    Not all conservatives I know are smokers but 99% of the smokers I know are conservative.

    Probably got hit with some huge unexpected medical bills and started avoiding doctors since they didn’t trust them anyway.
