I voted earlier today and was the only maskless person inside my polling place, which is in a very blue/PMC area. Funnily enough, despite the fact there was a big "Masks Required!" sign on the door, I got zero hassle from the poll workers, who were two middle aged black women, both in quite a cheery mood and being very friendly with me. They obviously didn't care one bit. I did however run into a couple boomer family members of mine (uncle and aunt) and I could tell they looked a bit freaked out seeing me maskless in a public place. They are true believers in the narrative. to put it lightly. Awhile back my uncle tried to bribe me $100 to get the vex!!! Every time I visit their house (which is maybe once every couple months) he always ends bringing up the dang vex and when I give him a vague or non-agreeable response I can see that it tears him up inside. He's too non-confrontational a person to actually be aggressive about it though.
What freaky times we live in. I really hope the narrative lets up sometime not too distant in the future!!! btw, how have your divinations been going regarding the narrative timeline?
My sister, back in the day, had a HS math teacher, a no-nonsense black lady. One day, after a chickenpox outbreak at the school, they got her discussing childhood diseases. She'd had ALL of them-- measles, mumps, chickenpox, the works. They were incredulous: weren't you vaccinated for those? No, her family didn't believe in that. Typical teenage shock. How can you not believe in immunizations?? She then patiently explained to them about the uncle her family lost to the Tuskeegee experiment, what Tuskeegee was all about, what had been done to the experimental subjects without their knowledge or permission, and the devastating effects on her family and the broader community. They concluded slackjawed, and probably remembered that history lesson from their math teacher better than anything in their history textbooks. My sister can, after all, still recount it three decades later. Is it any wonder folks in the black community don't totally trust experimental vaccines? If the rest of the country had any sense, they'd all be looking askance at people wanting to experiment on them, too.
I'm glad that people besides me are talking about the deep connection between the PMC (Professional Managerial Class for those not in the know) and Covid hysteria. The anti-Trumpers and the Coronatarians are the same people, and right now the PMC is going through a psychotic break over the end of Progress as we know it. It is the end of their world, but that has been caused by the easily accessible oil being on the wane, not by Covid being on the rise.
What makes me sad is your uncle thinks $100 is worth risking stroke, Guillian Barre syndrome, heart attack, or death of anaphylaxis. I think once the non-monsters among the PMC realize the amount of disease and death the Covid vaccines have caused, they will regret their capitulations to the vax and its propaganda.
I have not done any divinations on the vaxxed and unvaxxed recently. I'll consider doing another round soon.
