La Petite Fille has her first dose of the vaccine and a workable game plan to get her other doses and the rest of her vaccines updated! Otherwise, Ye Olde Blogge is just holding on during this crazy school year. Through it all we managed to read some good stuff to share.

We keep wringing our hands and clutching our pearls about so many of our social problems seeming not to know what to do about them. If you trace the causes of vaccine refusal, you eventually get to the root of so many of our problems, Republican refusal to govern at the federal, state, or local level and active sabotage of social services.

We have good news for once! Conservative regressive social policies propagated during times of national crisis, like the #COVID19 pandemic, backfire and cause the electorate to turn against the governments pushing them. Maybe there is hope for the 2022 election. Maybe.

We’re seeing MAGA Nation acting crazier and crazier with them taking ivermectin, avoiding the ICU’s, and nebulizing hydrogen peroxide to treat #COVID19 and even though the AZ fraudit found the election to be legitimate, they still believe it had fraud and the election was stolen. What’s the end game here? What do other hysterias have to teach us about how this one will end?

If the GQP opposition to any rational response to a deadly pandemic that could produce an even worse variant makes no sense at all, it’s because you are not considering the ways that fear and waves of terror affect a population and how useful they are to would-be authoritarians like the GQP are.

Trump’s gross negligence during the #COVID19 pandemic amounts to genocide. Not only has he reduced the average life expectancy of the US by years, the effects on the life expectancy and health of the American people will be felt for years to come.

The thing that makes the Trump base so tenacious is cognitive dissonance. They are so invested in covfefevirus denial that it is better to get #COVID19 than give up on Trump’s hoaxism! That’s crazy, and part 1. Part 2, explains about how to overcome the effect of cognitive dissonance.

What could possibly drive people to refuse to wear masks, social distance, or stay at home as much as possible? It just defies all logic and reason, right? Here are the three psychological factors that combine for the perfect storm of conservative resistance to containing the #COVID19 pandemic

Can we all agree on two things:
(1) All real live Americans are guaranteed Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness; and
(2) Getting, but especially dying of, the covfefevirus would deprive us of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness; and
(3) No one has a greater right to Life Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness than anyone else. We are all equal in that way.
So, wearing a mask helps us preserve the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights, n’est-ce pas?

The Ol’ Pussy Grabber is mentally unstable and mentally ill. He’s narcissistic personality disorder. He’s not dealing with reality; he’s dealing with his narcissistic delusion of grandeur and his narcissistic wound of self-pitying victim. We need to identify all of his behaviors that are driven by his narcissism.

Read up on why we need to support average Americans by putting cash in their pockets during this unprecedented crisis! The benefits of the CARES Act end on 31 July. A new stimulus check of $1,200.00 per adult and $600.00 per week bonus to unemployment insurance is badly needed. The senate will only have eleven days to get it done once they return from recess, 20 July. Call your senator today and everyday urging them to pass the HEROES Act without delay.

I know it’s long. I’ve been BUSY. Real busy. Okay, distracted, disturbed, and depressed. But, there are REASONS. Good reasons.
Oh yeah? Maybe you don’t have good reasons.
So, read it and find out!

The Ol’ Pussy Grabber is back to his narcissism-driven fun and games! He’s trying to gaslight us into believing a pandemic isn’t a pandemic and the sick and dying aren’t the sick and dying. And won’t we all go out and buy stocks again? If not that, let him give the rest of the budget to the billionaire class? It would really help him a lot.
Even the Repubes seem to believe that Congress should mandate the amount spent, where it comes from, and how it’s spent. Do your part to keep them on the straight and narrow: Call your MoC!

Notice how so many people are now so preoccupied by the covfefevirus? Suddenly it’s all wear masks, wash hands, close schools, we’re all gonna die! Well, turns out that’s a universal human reaction. Know who isn’t having it? The Ol’ Pussy Grabber! In fact, he’s having the opposite reaction.
