I about died laughing. Does this sad example of delusional martyrdom represent anyone here?

Boohoo.
I'm sure the 7,219 Pennsylvania families of Covid-19 patients who have died are feeling a profound sense of grief for the pain Russ Diamond is having to endure.
What a jerk.

Surely, this is intended as satire. You got this from The Onion, right?
Actually, it is truth for many we know in our home state of PA, including many of our relatives.. It is the one reason we chose not to attend our nephew’s 200+ guest wedding two weeks ago. We were unwilling to be made uncomfortable because we would be some of the few wearing masks, if we attended. Not to mention, the uncaring thoughtlessness of inviting 200+ people that you supposedly care about to an event that could have been postponed or shared in a safer format.

Poor Russ.
My MAGA *45 loving BIL that has been calling it the democrat hoax has tested positive, as well as his wife. It's now the Plandemic and he was targeted because he is a *45 supporter. Maybe it's becasue you're a LEO/CO that works in a really big jail and wears his mask around his chin? Your wife teaches indoor Zumba classes, with no mask requirements? You have found a way to continue letting your DS play contact sports on the down low with other *45 disciples kids? Nope, it was obviously a planned attack. Poor BIL. JFC

It's now the Plandemic and he was targeted because he is a *45 supporter. From hoax to plandemic. Nice pivot.  How many more years must the unmasked suffer from discrimination and intolerance? Surely we need a constitutional amendment to right this wrong. |

My dh works in a Prison and we worry everyday that he will get it and bring it home to me. We are masks wearers/hand washers, so we are hoping for the best. |

Pennsylvania's Secretary of Health is transgender. She addressed numerous hateful comments that have been addressed to her simply based on the fact that she is transgender. A significant portion of that Representatives tweet is directly copied from her speech yesterday in which the address is being attacked for being transgender. This man took her remarks and twisted them for his purpose which is even more pathetic.
I am quoting her speech below
Before I begin, however, with the daily updates, there is an important issue that I would like to address.
“I feel that I must personally respond to the multiple incidents of LGBTQ harassment, and specifically transphobia, directed at me, that have been reported in the press.
“I would first like to sincerely thank Governor Wolf for his continued support and for his comments last week. The LGBTQ community has made so much progress under Governor Wolf and his leadership during his time in office, but I want to emphasize that while these individuals may think that they are only expressing their displeasure with me, they are, in fact, hurting the thousands of LGBTQ Pennsylvanians who suffered directly from these current demonstrations of harassment.
“Your actions perpetuate the spirit of intolerance and discrimination against LGBTQ individuals, and specifically transgender individuals.
It is only one month ago that the Supreme Court prohibited discrimination in the workplace due to sexual orientation and gender identity, but LGBTQ individuals can still be denied housing, and public accommodations in most places in Pennsylvania, that do not have local nondiscrimination ordinances.
“In addition, the most vulnerable among us continue to suffer, including LGBTQ individuals of color, LGBTQ youth, LGBTQ seniors, and LGBTQ immigrants. Transgender women of color continue to not only be harassed, but are more likely to suffer, violence, and even murder.
“We have not made progress, unless we have all made progress. It is in this space that these acts of intolerance live, and where we need to continue to work against them. To the perpetuators of these and the perpetrators of these actions, if your apologies are sincere, then I accept your apologies, but an apology is the beginning, not the end of the conversation.
“I call on you. I call on you and all Pennsylvanians to work towards a spirit of not just tolerance, but a spirit of acceptance and welcome towards LGBTQ individuals. We all need to foster that spirit of acceptance and welcoming toLGBTQ individuals and celebrate the wonderful diversity of our commonwealth.
“Our children are watching. They are watching what we do. And they are watching how we act, and to all LGBTQ young people, iIt is okay to be you, and it is okay to stand up for your rights, and your freedoms.”
Levine then paused before finishing her statement.
“As for me, I have no room in my heart for hatred, and frankly, I do not have time for intolerance," she said.
“My heart is full with a burning desire to help people, and my time is full with working towards protecting the public health of everyone in Pennsylvania from the impact of the global pandemic due to COVID-19, and I will stay laser focused on that goal.”

Ah, good ole R plagiarism 👍🏻 Where are all those morals & values again? I KNOW!!! OMG. Just absolutely disgusting how he appropriated a serious concern and made it his own. I thought it was a joke. I DID think it was an Onion story BSnyder! Poor Russ. My MAGA *45 loving BIL that has been calling it the democrat hoax has tested positive, as well as his wife. It's now the Plandemic and he was targeted because he is a *45 supporter. Maybe it's becasue you're a LEO/CO that works in a really big jail and wears his mask around his chin? Your wife teaches indoor Zumba classes, with no mask requirements? You have found a way to continue letting your DS play contact sports on the down low with other *45 disciples kids? Nope, it was obviously a planned attack. Poor BIL. JFC Can this possibly be true? I am not doubting you bothmykidsrbrats, but it seems nearly inconceivable to me that someone thinks they were targeted because they are a 45 supporter. This reminds me of history lessons I had in school with old white men standing in front of doors blocking out Black people from entering. The denial is beyond belief. |

These are the same people (not necessarily her BIL & SIL) that were sharing a video from a “doctor” who believes demon semen causes all sorts of diseases and that alien DNA was injected into people to cause other diseases. Critical thinking isn’t their thing. |

I’m quite often disappointed in the length of time that karma takes. Karma seems to be acting quite quickly with the anti maskers.
Ha ha - told ya. 😷

A young woman quit her job at my friend's workplace today over having to wear a mask. The place has strict mask requirements. No exceptions, period. She was caught several times pulling her mask down on her first day of work. Eventually, a higher up caught her and told her in no uncertain terms to pull it up. She quit on her second day and complained she had been "bullied so badly she had to quit".

At this point, I'm just sad for non-wearers. They are clearly willing to die for their principles. Me, I want to live for my principles.

See, I don’t think the non-mask wearers are willing to die for their principles. They are willing to kill others. If a human being really had principles, they would not make a big fucking deal about a goddamn mask. My personal opinion: When we as a society start attaching “principles” and “morals” to “not wearing a mask”, we have failed as a society and we have failed as human beings. It just tells me that there are selfish assholes who would rather kill others than follow a simple rule. |
