Disease follows MAGA. It's no accident.

MAGA as a whole presents itself as an adolescent rebellion against what they consider adult authority.

They won't effing obey instructions to wash their hands after taking a dump; they'll make sure that they bring those hands to dinner, they'll make sure they make your peanut butter sandwiches using those same hands.

Snot-nosed kids, defiantly filthy by design.

I never believed in the notion of retrograde culture before MAGA.

Well, they prove it's a thing. Prove it wth their lives as often as need be.

Ebola's coming.

"Just 10 measles cases were reported among international travelers so far this year, according to CDC data."

Any Republicans wanna explain to this ------- why Trump is keeping our borders open for these subhuman disease-carrying immigrants?

You mean hurry up and commit suicide, or murder one of your family members, likely a child.

Based on actual, recent historical expeieence that's what they're doing.

If Ebola really gets to this country, Donald Trump will be in his bunker sucking his thumb, and we'll have a million dead.

I'm not sure we'll have a million dead. We don't have the same funerary traditions that lead to the kind of spread seen in Africa (lots of washing of and contact with the body as part of the grieving process). People will be less up in arms over bodies being taken by men in Tyvek suits for incineration or mass burial.

We had over a million dead last time, with a much less lethal disease.

Plagues are MAGA culture. The movement facilitates them. We've never seen an ideology like it.

I can't locate the YouTube clip from the original Repo Man for the Tyvek suits, but maybe they'll have "Protected by Donald" emblazoned on them.

Trump is going to assure that Ebola gets here-through ignorance, laziness, and incompetence-and when it gets here he's going to assure that it spreads.

Perhaps you'd like to argue that Trump isn't ignorant, lazy, and incompetent?

That would be cute.

If history has taught us anything, it's taught us that he is..

Ebola, screwworm, measles, tuberculosis, etc.

Putting the most incompetent morons in charge is working well.
