This is our electorate, though. Not some despicable tiny fraction but loads of people not really examining their own motivations. Condemnation is not going to help (as good as it feels). Flies, vinegar, honey.
Judicial elections matter
This, btw, is why judicial elections in NC matter.

Y’all, most people don’t like being stabbed with needles. Get over it. It still makes a difference.
«Polls show that about 30 percent of the U.S. population is still reluctant to be vaccinated.»
“incorrigible”

Why, yes, i did discover somebody new to follow on Twitter.
John Pfaff (@JohnFPfaff) Tweeted: Miller was abused, attempted suicide several times, starting at SIX. He is not “incorrigible.” He was a hurt, suffering child. I mean, he claimed he was “God” when he committed his crime. This doesn’t point to moral failings demanding “an answer.” This demands something else. https://t.co/VoQ8JAphnY
Tweet from John Pfaff (@JohnFPfaff)
John Pfaff (@JohnFPfaff) Tweeted: These laws are never used as intended, and always metastasize to more-common actions. They are always written too broadly. Like Salt Lake’s DA, who used a sloppily-written anti-gang law to thread two women w life sentences for… throwing paint. https://t.co/ClNCVcfIfI https://twitter.com/JohnFPfaff/status/1387880358423760903?s=20
Closing private prisons caused CO to re-open an old supermax with emphasis on solitary confinement

Ach.
John Pfaff (@JohnFPfaff) Tweeted: It’s a blistering example of how “close the privates!” COMPLETELY misses the point. If the (public) police keep arresting ppl who the (public) DAs keep convicting and the (public) judges keep giving prison time, the (public) DOC will find the space. Here: the WORST space.
The internet is stoopid

Gah. What happened to Darrell Owens (@IDoTheThinking)? He posts good stuff, I blog some of it with WordPress’s automatic link embedding, it gets shipped back to Twitter with IFTTT, then he deletes his account (or takes it private) and the whole delicate house of links collapses. At least the quote is still there if you don’t try to read it through Twitter on Android (don’t know about iOS).

I wonder if I can find info about North Carolina politicians.
Answer: why, yes:

Afraid of needles
Pretty sure all those folks who don’t want to get vaccinated are just afraid of needles. They just wrap it in all this different language.
