Hypocrisy is the trademark of conservatism. It’s us who get fooled into taking conservatives seriously. Every time right wingers whine about anything, it is best not to entertain their crying as anything serious and tell them to fuck off.

Also, we need to call it a plandemic, lie through our teeth, declare trillions of dollars worth of handouts for handful of ultra wealthy and oppose any relief for people who are vulnerable. Oh and oppose any research on cure - scratch that - investigate anyone talking sense and trying to find cure and call them traitors and foreign agents. In fact we need to ban the face diapers (except those majestic pointy hoods, of course). And one fine day in a week or so declare pandemic is all over.
