For people not familiar with this place it's a gated community for boomers in which kids need a "visa" pass to be allowed to visit.

It also had a STD epidemic do all the all the horny boomer behavior.


quote:

The Villages is one of the fastest growing places in America. It has a rosy lens and conservative bent.

The community of roughly 125,000 is a powerful base for Florida’s Republican party. In 2018, DeSantis won the three counties that contain the Villages by nearly 100,000 votes, in a statewide election decided by a total of 34,000.

Retirement havens dot the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and stretch across the heart of Florida. But none match the Villages in spectacle and size. The collection of subdivisions stretch across 32 square miles, featuring single-story homes, tidy yards and more than 50 golf courses.

The Villages prizes itself as a place that preserves youth through camaraderie and active lifestyle. But with age naturally comes a weakened immune system, which makes fighting off the coronavirus harder for older adults, medical experts say. Seniors are also more likely to have underlying health conditions that make the coronavirus more dangerous.

All of the Trump-obsessed ultralibs I know suddenly think he was basically okay, which is 100% proof as far as I'm concerned that they'll forgive Trump once he's been out of office for a decade so they can hate President David Duke or President Reanimated Corpse of Hitler or whoever even more.

Her doctor's first piece of advice? "Is she conscious and talking? Okay, then for the love of god, don't take her to the hospital!"

What a cool time to be alive!

Edit: And now I'm thinking of the majority of Americans, let alone American elderly people, who don't have a doctor they can call who will actually pick up, or a son to take care of them, and the ER is literally the only place they can go for treatment. I'm really good at making myself feel bad, although I guess these days that isn't much of a feat.

You're allowed to feel upset and scared and pissed TF off. Those are totally valid emotions. Just because someone has things worse than you or your mother doesn't mean that you can't feel upset. It's how you respond to the emotions is what's important

How is your mother doing now?

lol, also since The Villages is overrun with the GOP type of boomer they believe CV pandemic is fake news and continued on with life as usual.

quote:

Still, residents say distancing in a community that so strongly promotes closeness has been hard.

In mid-March, the Villages announced that many community amenities, such as pools, would close, a move residents hotly debated on Facebook. Some suggested the changes were an overreaction; others called those people selfish.

“It’s bloody hot out there and going to the pool is the only exercise a lot of people can get in this weather,” one resident wrote in a letter published on Villages-News.com, an online publication that covers the community.

A commenter countered on Facebook: “Stay home and GROW UP!!!!”

An aghast resident’s YouTube video showed a packed estate sale. Others angrily posted photos on Facebook of people riding around in golf carts and eating takeout at picnic tables.

On March 27, an infectious disease doctor at UF Health Villages Hospital put a video on Facebook begging Villagers to stay home and noting a shortage of medical supplies across the country.

“We still see you here in big groups having fun on your golf carts, big gatherings, and at the same time we see you on our units gasping for air in the ICU, intubated,” said the doctor, Elias Maroun. “Please take thi

A PARTICULARLY GHOULISH SHITPOSTER FOR NEOLIBERLISM AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Funion posted:

The OP was arguing that chuds are somehow likelier to "convince" than liberals.

I will always argue that people who accept science will be more likely to turn leftist than those who don't i.e. chuds.

Obviously on an individual level your experiences are gonna vary wildly. On aggregate though when I say "liberals" I'm talking about all these fuckheads who in an apocalyptic pandemic are still neverbernies that think M4A is unreasonable and Joe Biden will deliver them to the "good" times of 2015 and delete their tweets calling out kavanaugh because their king is also a loving rapist.

These people are completely unmoored from reality but their identity is so tied up in being morally superior that if you show them that their yas kweens are all ghouls too they just double down and retrench. And I get it because it's not easy to think you've been doing the right thing your whole life only to find out it was a lie. I think we've all been through that moment in our radicalization process where our worldview was shattered and you had to pick up the pieces and start from scratch figuring out what was real and who to listen to that won't feed you complete horseshit. Faced with that decision it's a lot easy to pull a Skinner and say no, it's the socialists who are wrong.

At least with chuds you can find common ground by pointing at things and saying "that's broken and hosed up." Maybe you'll disagree about the causes and the solutions but you can at least open a conversation with them. They also have a higher distrust of media and politicians than liberals do, which is beneficial.

I'm not pulling this out of the aether, I've literally had more success with small-business owner Trumpers I don't know than my #wither sister and aunt (rich, comfortable, extremely invested in her moral superiority).

Also the moral superiority/authority/objectivity of the vague idea of "science" is bullshit and always has been. Science, like statistics, is done by fallible people and used by the ruling class to justify their horrific policies. Phrenology was "science," Mengele was a "scientist," you can find "science" to back up whatever snake oil bullshit or genocidal policy you want to sell. I'm not saying all science is useless by any means, but I am saying appeals to the authority of science in trying to build socialism has some serious limits. Science first and foremost has to be replicatable and as long as the means to conduct science remains in the hands of the rich and powerful it should be viewed skeptically.

But the rational thinking promoted by science is actually very important when it comes to UNDERSTANDING their material concerns.

When it comes to chuds, all bets are off on the conclusion they will reach.

That's why we see some of them literally believing in a secret demon-worshipping pedophilic deep-state cabal.

not so my man, people are very good at understanding their immediate material concerns

rationality is a red herring. ideology is much more important, and science education isn't teaching people poo poo about that. the collapse itself is going to take everyone's latent ideological notions about How Things Work and shatter them. chud or lib, they're either going to be open to a new perspective or not, and believing in science isn't going to magically make people more open to the idea that the state should run the economy or even parts of it.

the truth is that all bets are off on what conclusion most people will reach. libs will probably convert at a much, much higher percentage than chuds, but, again, science literacy has very little to do with it.

my bet is that many in the super-hardcore Lib Peer Review crowd will hold out the longest, since they've insulated themselves from critical thinking by repeating the mantra "show me the study" their whole lives. they probably also think the social sciences are fake, the nobel prize in economics is rightfully prestigious, and marxism has been proven wrong time and again.

America is a monstrously ugly nation and culture and you can basically chart it all the way back to its founding and the first people who were enticed by the idea of chattel slavery more cruel than anywhere else in the civilized world and tons more native populations to genocide while becoming extremely wealthy on the bounty of the land. what depraved sociopaths it must have summoned from the vilest pits to construct this loving abomination
