Yet another conspiracy theory about the pandemic has arisen after a writer for far-right media outlet Breitbart accused Democrats of trying to trick Republicans into passing up the vaccine so they will die of the virus.

How?


Via "reverse psychology" of course.

And the plot supposedly involves not only Democratic Party leadership like Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and President Joe Biden, but also celebrities like Howard Stern.

According to writer John Nolte, the reason conservatives won't get vaccinated is because Democrats are berating them about it for the express purpose of making them not want to get vaccinated so that they will all die and Republicans will lose more elections.


In his September 10 op-ed for the far-right publication, Nolte named also name-checked Dr. Fauci as part of the cabal he says are trying to Jedi mind-trick conservatives into killing themselves by not getting vaccinated.

Nolte's bizarre screed comes after Stern went on a rant on his radio show about unvaccinated people filling up hospitals across the country and needlessly dying of the virus.

Suffice to say, Stern wasn't exactly feeling sympathetic towards these people.

As he put it:

"Go fu*k yourself. You had the cure and you wouldn't take it."

But to Nolte, this somehow spoke to a sinister plot on the part of Stern and Democrats everywhere to convince members of the so-called "Party of Personal Responsibility" to kill themselves by eschewing the vaccine.

"If I wanted to use reverse psychology to convince people not to get a life-saving vaccination, I would do exactly what Stern and the left are doing…
"I would bully and taunt and mock and ridicule you for not getting vaccinated, knowing the human response would be, Hey, fu*k you, I'm never getting vaccinated!"

So conservatives are apparently pro-vaccination now, eh?

Neat!

Nolte went on to say:

"Could it possibly be that the left has manipulated huge swathes of Trump voters into believing they are owning the left by not taking the life-saving Trump Vaccine?..."
"Have you ever thought that maybe the left has us right where they want us?"

On Twitter, people could not believe what they were reading.










This may be deeply unhinged, but if it convinces right-wingers to get vaccinated so we can finally end this pandemic?

Well, any port in a storm!

Candace Owens Posts Screenshot Of Charlie Kirk's NSFW Dig At Meghan McCain—And Get Out The Popcorn

Conservative mouthpieces Candace Owens and Meghan McCain are feuding over the late far-right activist Charlie Kirk, and things got really messy after Owens shared one of Kirk's alleged text messages to her.

Kirk was assassinated in September while speaking at an event in Utah. In the months since, Owens has distanced herself from many figures on the far right, accusing them of exploiting his legacy—at times even sharing private communications she had with him.

Trump Just Responded To Top Counterterrorism Official's Damning Resignation Letter In Peak Trump Fashion

President Donald Trump was criticized for his response to the resignation of National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent over the war in Iran, saying the country "posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

Kent, a former Green Beret and political candidate with ties to right-wing extremists, was confirmed last July in a 52–44 vote to lead the National Counterterrorism Center, where he oversaw efforts to analyze and detect terrorist threats.

Gavin Newsom's Wife Claps Back Hard In Viral Video After Trump Mocks Newsom's Learning Disability

Jennifer Siebel Newsom—the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom—criticized President Donald Trump after he claimed her husband's dyslexia should disqualify him from being president, calling Trump's comments "extremely ignorant and offensive."

Newsom has frequently spoken about living with dyslexia, a common learning disability that can make reading more difficult and affect spelling and speech. He has said he prefers not to rely on teleprompters because of the condition, and wrote in a recent memoir that, when he was younger, he overcompensated by memorizing “pretentious words.”

Gellar reveals reason for Buffy reboot ax

Sarah Michelle Gellar is finally pulling back the curtain on why Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s planned return was abruptly shut down—and the explanation is raising eyebrows.

In a new interview with People, Gellar pointed to a single Hulu executive who, she claims, simply didn’t like the original series, effectively halting the planned continuation show Buffy: New Sunnydale in its tracks—an ending that feels less like a heroic finale and more like a stake through a vampire’s heart.
