These weirdos remind me of those serial killers that one day get caught and when reporters go ask their neighbours what kind of person they were, they say: “He seemed pretty normal. Always greeted back.”
These people are the same: up until 2019 they seemed normal. I mean, they all voted blue no matter who and were not very smart or well informed, but most people are like that. It took some new version of the bird flu to turn them into fucking Borg.
And, yes, I am perfectly and _unironically_ aware that something like the flu can kill me, but the odds are so low that I see no point in worrying about it. I have plenty more serious stuff to worry about.
