I'm not sure why you think that would've helped. A lot of the people who won't shut up about 1984 and Ayn Rand still vote for the closest thing to monarchy they can find on their ballots.

- forgotoldacc 1y agoWe're at a point where people would be glad to starve if they think it pissed someone else off.
- recursive 1y agoI think most of them would say that right up until they could actually feel the hunger. People spend hundreds of dollars on drugs that just make them less hungry so they eat less. So I don't think so.
- wat10000 1y agoSome people see "don't tread on me" as "don't tread on people," while others see it as "don't tread on ME specifically."
- nerdponx 1y agoDon't tread on me but please do tread on those other people I've been indoctrinated to dislike.

- ReptileMan 1y agoOkay - democrats will push us in 1984 dystopia where they force you to accept that reality is what they tell you, and republicans will push us in low life high tech Cyberpunk dystopia where corporations reign supreme. Choose your poison.
- buellerbueller 1y agooh, like that classic Democrat line "tylenol causes autism"?
- ReptileMan 1y agoWe are talking about the same hepatotoxic compound that is absurdly easy to OD on but it gives negligible relief on stuff you should just power trough? That anecdotal - is barely better than a pacebo? Personally - I think that the two main drivers of autism are people having kids later and too high rates of smart people intermarriage. Of course Trump should not have said Tylenol, but paracetamol. And there are some very mild hints in the data that they are correlated, but not enough sigmas. And of course it could be Tylenol and something else with which ot interacts. And autism is so hard to be linked to anything because of how big the umbrella is and that we have such high delay to diagnosis that we will never know. Not taking medications when not really necessary is probably a good precaution principle
- troyvit 1y agoBut if he can't say "acetaminophen" how can he say "paracetamol"?
- buellerbueller 1y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop My point is merely that the lie against reality is being perpetrated by Republicans. You never really addressed that.
- lupusreal 1y agoNobody in America says paracetamol. The generic drug is called acetaminophen in America. Anyway, it works very well for the aches and pains that come from manual labor.
