They will stay in power through manufactured crises. COVID vaccines first, followed by flu, then MMR etc. Dying people, dying kids, state of emergency, martial law. "Postponed" elections. Occupation of US cities to discourage dissent.
Meaningless wars with Central/South American countries (because Middle Eastern wars are unpopular), sold as wars against drug cartels. War refugees to destabilize Mexico, followed by "peacekeeping" forces over the border.
They try that American's world standing will keep plummeting. I know the US is incredibly inward looking, but it would be hard to hide that reality from the population.
Most childhood vaccines are administered before symptoms of autism generally appear. A lot of children owed their lives to vaccines, and so got to develop autism, rather than dying.
i see what you're saying but please be careful framing it this way. The biggest reason by far for more autism diagnoses is greater awareness, access to healthcare, and expanding the criteria to less severe cases. We are simply identifying people with autism better than we used to.
As a late diagnosed aspie, I fully get that. I also know that vaccines save a lot of lives, including fellow autistics.
The phrasing is also fun to derail the brains of people complaining about vaccines. It can bypass their mental defences and makes them think for a moment. It doesn't work on the hard core, but the casual idiots are easier to deprogram.
It depends how deep they are. I run into a depressing number that have just been caught up in the misinformation storm. Getting them to stop and think often helps recalibrate their thinking.
It doesn't help much on those that are deep enough their ego is heavily involved.
Meanwhile the link between pollution and autism is pretty clear, and the ratfuckers are removing all environmental regulations. Autism will increase instead.
The pandemic is over but the virus isn't gone. You should get yearly shots like with the regular influenza flu. That said, I live in a country with health care and both shots are free.
Does Lenny have fun bots like Reddit did? Like, can we make a timetoXKCD bot that just shows how long a post was active before the first XKCD reference was made?
America's rich decided on the dumbest possible timeline - between gerrymandering, vote buying, disinformation, foreign interference and a host of local and often illegal ratfuckery tactics, 2024 was not a free and fair election.
America's rich decided on the dumbest possible timeline
Social Media is a worldwide, international disinformation and influence peddling machine created and owned by American billionaires. It is destroying democracy everywhere.
They have the most genius idea ever. If all the poor to middle class people die then that means there country is the best because only rich people can literally live now.
Edit: except they're stealing Israel's playbook by starving them

it doesn’t matter. ratfucker is convinced vaccines cause autism and is doing everything he can to sabotage them.

Vaccines do increase autism numbers.

You really think they'll understand?
They are incapable to read facts and statistics on how vaccines eliminated or reduced terrible illnesses.
They won't understand what you are saying.

If your government is actively trying to kill you and your loved ones, I think it's only fair that you should be able to defend yourself.

Remember during the pandemic when he wanted the vaccine bad, even made “operation warp speed” to get it out as soon as possible.
But his base were anti vax and booed him.

Alberta recently banned covid vaccination for healthy children under 12, so that's fun.
Edit: also if you don't fall into the 'free' categories, it'll be $100
