Ya know when Conservatives died of Covid in massive numbers because they kept refusing to intentionally antagonize the people fighting Covid and every restriction put in place against it the only thing going through my head was

When these parents go to purgatory, I hope their long dead children greet them, "Why did you let me die?", just before final judgment is passed.

Naaah… I say we let those morons measel the ever-loving shit out of one another. But let them do it on an island somewhere in the middle of the Sea of Tranquility.
