    You’ve dropped a brick on your foot, specifically? That exact sequence of events? Nothing else could prepare you to say what would happen. Was it a brown brick? Have you tried red? What about cinderblocks?

    We know goddamn well what putting a denialist crank in charge of public health would do to public health.

    This is the party trying to ban certain medicines. It’s gonna be awful for everyone. Anything else would be as surprising as if you let go, and the brick fell up.

          Comrade, I get it, you’re mad. But that doesn’t change the fact that Trump wants to put him in charge. He hasn’t implemented anything yet, so I’ll wait to see what happens before I judge the policies since we have no idea what will happen.

            We have a crystal clear idea what will happen. You’re just acting gullible.

            ‘Maybe it’ll go fine!’ Yeah and maybe he’ll discover infinite energy, or turn off the sun with a snap of his fingers. You never know!

            And I do mean you never know. You’re espousing willful ignorance of the blindingly obvious, as if expected outcomes are a fucking mystery.

            Any single one of this crank’s policies is a disaster, by itself. The antivax bullshit alone should be criminal. Altogether - it’s gonna be fucking awful, and your aggressive shrugging will not change that. Stop trying to excuse and diminish the severity of this problem.

              Dude, calm down. I didn’t vote for the guy. Go outside, touch some grass, and don’t get so worked up over a Lemmy post.

                ‘Gosh, why are people on my ass today? Must be a them problem.’

                  I don’t think people are “on my ass today” at all. I think you’re mad and you’re lashing out because you feel powerless.

                  I’m not the guy who you should be mad at, friend. Trump won both the electoral vote and the popular vote.

                  Seems like you have a lot of work to do. Thanks.

                    I am specifically taking issue with your conduct in this thread. You, personally, are saying indefensible things, regarding this severe looming threat. Your aggressive apathy is not neutral.

                    Sneering “touch grass” doesn’t even make sense - this is real life. People will die. This dangerous moron, this animal-corpse enthusiast with li-ter-al brain worms, will damage civic health. His mere public presence has harmed some people’s trust in medicine… as a concept.

                    Putting such an unambiguous nutjob in charge of the nation’s healthcare structure is not a “guess we’ll see!” situation.

                    And here you are posting a libertarian rag stroking its chin about whether the impending shit-storm will burn down the right parts of the federal government. Then you feign ignorance of what he’s plainly going to do, given half a chance, and what it’s plainly going to impact, given half a thought. The brick is falling and you’re staring intently - wondering what’s gonna happen to your toes.
