    Nah. Grip it and rip it, red states.

    My sincerest hope is that Wyoming has so many Covid parties that five progressives could walk in and get two votes in the senate and one in the house.

    I call it “the shocker.”

        Who gives a shit about an endemic flu that people have built resistance for when those morons are trying to bring back measles and TB?

      Wyoming is next to a couple other states with significant Native American populations. The thing about vaccines is there’s a lot of resistance in those populations, especially if it’s white people administering them. Some of that crowd immunity we expect to have really needs to protect them too, and without it, they will be devastated by white people’s policies again.

      That’s a very simplified statement without much cultural context, but I think it’s so painful to blame the ~500k people in one large, mostly rural, largely uneducated state for this when much denser voting populations did too
