Yes, I’ve been using “Kennedy outbreak,” meaning an outbreak that occurs after followers of his conspiracy theories opt out of safe, well-established vaccines
In keeping w “Kavanaugh Stops,” let’s call these Kennedy Pox.
The measles outbreak in South Carolina is “accelerating” with no end in sight following Thanksgiving and other large gatherings, state health officials say.

“Ppl seem to be identifying his behavior as rage bait, and they are increasingly refusing to respond w/the anger Trump desires. Instead, the eye roll is proving to have power. The immune response to provocation is building/robbing Trump of what was once one of his most effective political tools.”
When I first saw that "rage bait" is the Oxford Word of the Year, I thought, "what a sad commentary on how broken things are."
But the more I thought about it, the more hope it gave me. Having a name for MAGA's addiction is the first step to a solution.

One of the reasons the Republicans are pushing so hard to kill ACA *while* making half of all their attacks on it focused on trans people, is that they're convinced the average American hates healthy trans kids more than they love their own sick cis kids.

3) The effort is the juice! The effort is the high! Mastery of a skill is an unparalleled buzz. "Having written" is nice yes, we all joke about that, but *the making is the pleasure*. Men who've never experienced that, trying to steal it because ironically *they do not know its value*, is a sin.

So after we got over that whole McCarthyism crap in the 50s, we got the freedom of the 60s and the weirdness of the 70s and I just really hope I'm around to see straight men in makeup and crop tops and heels in 2040, dancing to Space Disco with long hair and mustaches once we're through ALL THIS.

And most of those people are people who are related to you and can't believe that you would actually stand up for yourself! They can go kick rocks!
One of my fundamental beliefs is that I should not have to talk to people who have been cruel to me. You might be surprised to learn how often -- and vociferously -- people disagree with me about that.
