chill, my man.

My wife had a breast cancer scare a few years back and it was caught early because of mammograms. Under RFK other women won't be as lucky and will develop breast cancer. Some will die as a result.

So, no. I will not 'chill', because that's just another way of saying you don't actually care because it doesn't affect you.

Soon we will have Witch Doctors cough...cough faith healers running Health Policy in America, if RFK Jr has his way. Of course it will cost 2 or 3x at a minimum because why do it if you can't grift and make billions? Welcome to 47's world, of madness.

Ah yes, remove the best method of preventing cancer. That'll surely make Americans Healthy Again. After all, what you don't know about can't kill you.

Like stopping all testing for COVID-19 would "reduce the number of cases" (as claimed by the "jenius" Orange Shitgibbon), stopping preventative illness measures and ensuring the ignorance of the population would also magically reduce the number of known cancer cases, despite all the obvious increases of fatalities due to that cause. This is all gaslighting taken to its extreme, just like North Korea, whose leader the moronic Orange Führer admires. MAGA wants the entire US to live in the North Korean conditions, just as long as it hurts the "woke educated intellectuals"* that they hate. Since the latter are the people who keep showing the MAGA cultist that they are, and always have been, wrong about everything. The Earth really is only a few thousands of years old and the Noah's big box fable is a "true story", etc. There are many members of congress and the WH staff who are at this level of very willful and belligerent ignorance.

*Their labels for anyone who reads more than bibles and comic books, and actually accepts science as the most reliable way of knowing anything. To them, unshakable conviction is the ONLY reliable way of "knowing". Obviously confusing "believing" with "knowing" and "belief" with "facts" because they are THAT arrogantly stupid,

Hope you aren't including violence.

Stopping the madness is actually easy. VOTE this November. If enough people give a shit, MAGAs are still a minority.

Of course the MAGA cultists would never interfere with the voting process, unlike all the previous times that they did. And they would surely accept the voting outcome of the public, despite all the previous times that they didn't. Do you not even recall Jan 6th and how the Orange Führer had to be nearly dragged out of the WH? And he even took top secret documents with him? And he still claims to have won the 2020 election?

It's not the world, thankfully, it's just US.

Your self selected username totally counters your counterfactual statement. I wonder why?

I said most of two decades ago that Americans would tire of nothing getting done, and we would elect someone who would Get Things Done, to our sorrow.

I would rather have been wrong.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of the president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." -- H.L. Mencken, in 1920

Does it have to be legal?

One side ignores the laws, the other side follows the laws. Guess which side will gain the most power in the end? Tolerating intolerance has never been a balanced situation, it is a one way ratchet to totalitarianism. You can add the US to the list of North Korea, Hungary, Russia, etc.

New liberal-minded conspiracy: administration-level MAGAns actually DO believe climate change is real, man-made, and unlikely to be slowed... and have thus made the calculation the best way to put far less greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, is for more people to die sooner. You know, "decrease the surface population," of money-grubbing Scrooge fame? If not early in life (vaccines), then mid-life (mammograms, colonoscopies, soon probably routine blood screenings we all get done during our annual check-ups). And RFK Jr is literally the vehicle used to accomplish this objective (or at least "get the death party started").

I know.... not bad for a novice conspiracy theorist, right??

This must be why ICE is spending 55 billion on crematoriums.

"We strongly urge HHS to restore..."

Do we really have to go through all that useless theater each time? Just start inflicting pain, ANY kind of pain. They won't respond to anything else.

This is starting to enter "Thoughts and Prayers" territory...
