it's wild to post this when a more realistic version of it actually happened and it was conservatives who refused the treatment

I am now fully convinced, like never before, that if President Trump somehow cured cancer...

...that Democrats would protest in favor of cancer in the streets

  1. If I woke up one morning to the headline, "Trump cures cancer!", I would rightly assume that the Professor, Wade, Rembrandt and myself were in the wrong universe and we needed to Slide our asses back home.

    And a theoretical cookie to anyone who gets that reference.

  2. Does Matt know he’s canceled cancer funding this round? Does Matt understand that Dems think operation warp speed (dumb name) is like the only positive thing we think he did last go round?

  3. These guys thrive on victimhood, because it's the easiest way for them to try to justify being shitty human beings.

    Also, Donald Trump would never discover the cure for cancer because Donald Trump doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself.

  4. Oh. I thought that said if Trump died of cancer that Dems would celebrate in the streets, and... I mean, yeah. Obviously.

  5. I wanted those vaccines SO BAD so I remember there were this Democrats online who politicized it by claiming they wouldn't be safe. (I did understand why they didn't trust Trump.) Anyway, they were amenable to evidence and quieted down but it is a lesson we can all be affected by fascist nonsense.

  6. See if Trump found the cure for cancer, the treatment would be 5 million dollars even if it cost next to nothing. And if most people couldn't afford it, he wouldn't give two shits. So yea, Dems would be mad about it.

  7. covid vax doesn't stop the spread or cure anything lol if anything this is proof that republicans don't have blind allegiance to any leader for absolutely anything they say or do lol you proved a different point 😂

  8. "if President Trump somehow cured cancer"

    It is a cult. Dear Leader doesn't cure disease, that's the efforts of scientists, researchers, and doctors. It is a cult.

  9. That's a whole new level of irony, isn't it? Like, the plot of a bad sci-fi movie where the cure for cancer gets derailed by conspiracy theories and misinformation.

  10. Unlike Republicans, the rest of us are able to acknowledge when someone we despise still does something good.

    Maybe he would actually EARN that Peace Prize he goes on about if he were to do something like this instead of wrecking the CDC because they disagreed with him during his first term...

  11. I am a Democrat and my husband has terminal cancer. This is the biggest pile of BS. Cancer patients and their families are begging the Trump Administration not to hinder Cancer research. Does he seriously think we want our loved ones to die to stick to Trump?

  12. I am fully convinced, like never before, that if President Trump said that he somehow cured cancer… Democrats won't take his word for it.

  13. Luckily, what Matt von Swol is absolutely convinced about has no relevance or interest to anybody I know, or know of, or care about, or have a vague inkling of, at all. He could be absolutely convinced he is Joan of Arc for all I care. Another loony. Most of the country is not loony. So, fuck him.

  14. Hilarious that they all need to concoct this hypothetical good thing Trump hasn’t done to illustrate that nobody is giving him credit for the other good things he hasn’t done.

  15. Biden literally wanted to do the Cancer Moonshot and trump literally cut billions in cancer research.

    More likely that trump will cause a new strain of cancer.

  16. AT this point of delusion, I think the best strategy for Dems would be to bring the affected people on every talk show. Like, you wanna talk about cancer? Ok, this is the guy working on cancer cures and got his funding cancelled, talk with him.

  17. And also, Trump cancelled research on mRNA, which is literally this biggest hope against cancer right now.

  18. These same fucks turned down funding for a flood warning system in Texas because it was coming from a Democrat

  19. tRump placed a guy in charge of cancer research, and that guy pulled all funding for it. So yeah... I have a better chance at winning the lottery than that ever happening

  20. It irritates me to no end how they can invent wild counterfactuals knowing their base is happy to take it as fact.

    "Liberals would starve a baby to pass a regulation".

    "Yes they would. God how I hate how they hypothetically starve babies. They're probably making plans to do it right now!"

  21. It’s wild how just like in Lake Wobegon where “everyone’s child is above average” somehow every right wing dipshit on social media is simultaneously the worst person ever

    This makes more sense when you view it not as a truth statement but as a cynical rhetorical tactic. He is continuing to prime the base to ignore whatever Democrats say. It doesn't need to be true if it works, and it does.

  23. Possibly right - but only because that corrupt, selfish, sociopathic piece of shit would either (a) sell it only to the highest bidder or (b) keep it for himself.

    The projection....man.

  24. They’re defunding mRNA vaccine research, which is probably the most viable path to furthering cancer research in decades.

  25. This has very much the same flavor as those "this is what will happen under biden posts something currently happening under trump" posts.

  26. The mRNA tech that leaped forward from the covid vaccines literally did cure a cancer and the GOP are killing everything related to mRNA.

  27. Trump can legitimately take (some) credit for the Covid vaccines, and the democrats took it while the republicans took ivermectin. I think if Trump cured cancer, after the monkeys flew out of my butt the democrats would get cured and the republicans would refuse the cure.

  28. It's also more realistic to say that if Biden had cured cancer, Republicans would have rejected the cure and raced to get cancer anywhere they could while screaming "my body, my choice."

  29. They have thoroughly rewritten extremely recent history in their minds and believe wholeheartedly that everything about covid happened on Joe Biden's watch

  30. I mean, RFK just defunded -- among other things -- a prospective cure for cancer....

  31. Do they ever get tired of the constant BS. It’s just endless BS. They have nothing else to offer.

  32. Yeah in fact Trump provided over the creation and distribution of a miraculously effective COVID vaccine and was supported in those efforts by Democrats while Republicans went literally crazy and decided the vaccine being pushed by their own president was some plot to destroy them

  33. scientists were getting super close to curing some kinds of cancer when trump decided to defund all the research, so I think we would actually be pretty thrilled if they got back to work on that.

    2
  34. this is a particularly wild hypothetical because trump is literally doing the opposite of curing cancer by letting rfk jr throw cancer research out of a moving car window

    "every accusation" discourse go brrr, go brrr brrr forever. it is a law of thermodynamics at this point

  35. Trump won’t back anything if it doesn’t put money in his pocket 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇦🇮🇪🧐

  37. If Trump decided to assist a green energy transformation and create a compassionate immigration system and take money out of politics and support real education instead of dismantling it and punish Netanyahu so that he stops killing people, I'd be all in!

  38. The cure for cancer is actually in the Epstein files, all Trump has to do to prove this guy right is release them.

  40. He'll be able to announce they've cured cancer right after RFK announces all testing of cancer is to stop. This after all is why COVID was spreading.
