I spent a long time saying I thought we were headed for a mass shooting at a COVID vaccine site based on the violent anti-vaxx rhetoric I was seeing online, and a lot of people gave me shit for it.
Wild to see it directed at the CDC after its takeover by a far right anti-vaxx grifter, though.
Some folks are misunderstanding this as me saying I am optimistic, and.

Which is, uh, not exactly a high bar.
I fucking love this about Bluesky, yesterday I did some shitpost about Nazis quoting Marcus Aurelius and then a classicist replied and was like "oh dear I recognize this version of the quote, this is my translation"
And to think I doubted him
Belief is really the wrong framing when it comes to fascists and grifters.
They don't really believe anything, they just tell stories
