Any negative news about trump gets you labeled a fake conservative. So does any question of trump's unhinged and destructive policies.
You can easily see how they are devolving in fascists.
They want unwavering, unquestioned allegiance to their supreme leader trump.

We must ban all abortion so kids can die unnecessarily of previously eradicated diseases. That's modern conservatism.

I said climate change was real and got banned from that sub back in 2013 or so. It’s always been an astroturf Russian troll playpen.

Sad reminder to get your MMR booster

u/sara_bear_8888 Feb 27 '25
I contacted my doctors office yesterday to see what I should do. I work in a Texas school district, and let's just say I'm old enough where the MMR vaccines were given to me LONG ago, lol. He's having me come in Monday to check my antibody levels and see if I need a booster.

u/Dead-Red87 Feb 27 '25
If you’ve received both doses of the MMR vaccine, there is no need for a booster.

u/EatTheRich4Brunch Feb 27 '25
I'm in my 40s. Can't remember and not sure if i have a good vaccine record.

If you’re in the US and went to public school in the 80’s, it’s highly likely you got both doses. You might could ask your primary care doc, if you’ve got one. They might be able to test you for it (I know they can tell if you’ve been vaxxed for rubella).

I had my blood titer done and have no immunity so I will need to get a booster. It’s a good idea to check.

That is one shot I remember getting because of the MMR name

u/Ezl Feb 27 '25
Happily I stated school in urban NJ in the early/mid 70s so I can be confident I got all the usual vaccinations. The two I remember are MMR and the “TB tine test.” It wasn’t a vaccination I don’t think - they pricked you with this little device that had 4 little pins and how your reacted (rash, no rash, etc.) told them something.

Oh man, they are in full denial mode.
I go over there every now and again. It's like watching monkeys lose their shit at the zoo. Magnificent.

Caring about a child dying of a preventable disease is pretty close to empathy which is anathema to today's modern conservative.
Op has to be a secret Lib.

u/DueMagician89 Feb 27 '25
At this point there's the Conservatives and the Maga morons. They can intertwine in many ways but the latter are the ones that blindly digest any type of slop that Faux and other right wing controlled media serves them. Almost all news sources sugarcoat anything Trump, Musk, RFK etc does and Meta/X etc all push Pro MAGA articles at you no matter what your views are while hiding anything that denounces them.

u/Rand_alThoor Feb 27 '25
funny they complained about "Liberal Media" for so long.
now all the media is right-wing and has no respect for truth either.

u/Versaiteis Feb 27 '25
It's crazy that they were talking about how this is a propaganda article and it's nonsense.
It's an article by the New York Post...
By someone that used to write for The Daily Mail...

u/JHDCO Feb 27 '25
This is a learned, effective tactic from the Christian nationalists. It works in their churches to control and manipulate congregants and they apply it effectively here too. Shaming people and calling them non-believers, exiling them from their tribe when they question anything or bring up a point of empathy that breaks the narrative.

u/bigfathairymarmot Feb 27 '25
Well, it is actually funny they are admitting to be the political leaning of death.

u/buy-american-you-fuk Feb 27 '25
I mean you can look it up, not like it's fake at all...
TLDR: Texas Freedom Freckles are no joke... get your children vaccinated.

u/4OneFever Feb 27 '25
Children dying has been a pillar of Republicanism for a while now. They stop caring as soon as you are born.

u/psilocin72 Feb 27 '25
Real conservatives deny reality and refuse to think about anything that does help the far right narrative.

u/Kytyngurl2 Feb 27 '25
Checks out, ‘real conservatives’ don’t care about child deaths. Absolutely that is the case.

u/DamiensDelight Feb 27 '25
The folks over at r/conservative are so cucked, they wouldn't know the taste of a woman if she sat on their faces.... They do not give, they only take it.

u/rowanhenry Feb 27 '25
They are genuinely insane. I can't believe this is just the norm now for so many people.

u/bowsmountainer Feb 27 '25
If you don’t want to increase the number of children dying from measles you’re not conservative!

u/Funshine02 Feb 27 '25
It’s why I got banned from the subreddit. Talking about getting vaccinated during COVID

u/Majestic-Prune-3971 Feb 27 '25
The tree of liberty and freedoms must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of children, apparently.

Anyone remotely left of the top posters seems to be considered a liberal, and even some of these right wing numbskulls consider themselves centrist sometimes
