Leftists in 2015: "Government needs to force insurance companies to pay for my birth control, my sex-change surgery, and my abortions!"
MAGA folks in 2015: "Government should stay out of our bodies."
RFK: "For your own good, I'm going to regulate what's in your bodies."
Leftists in 2025: "Look how dumb the Republicans are. Don't they know people don't like government regulating what's in their bodies?"
MAGA folks in 2025: "******* libtards, trying to convince us that government regulating what's in our bodies is bad!"
Me:
Seems like the Covid vaccine was good for us, was relentlessly pushed by the MSM and government, and was even patriotic to take. I could even get fries with that if I got the jab in New York.
And then we found out it was a lie, that the jab was horrible for us, and multiple shots actually caused you to get Covid more frequently.
If RFK Jr. finds out that things in our food, our drugs, our water supply, are bad for us.....should we just ignore it? Slap a label on it like cigarettes?
If we find out that the government or Big Pharma or Big Ag have known for years that they've been feeding us poison, should we let it slide? At least with an abortion you know what you're getting.
Isn't part of this about knowing, rather than assuming?

The Left: "It's not racism when we do it, because we're talking about equity and empowerment."
Me: (Points out hypocrisy to a MAGA republican)
The Right: "It's only hypocrisy when it's about government-mandated vaccines and masks. This is different."
The government was mandating us (through threats, laws, coercion with private companies, travel bans, etc.) to take untested poison -- with no recourse available for damages. Thousands lost their job when refusing it, thousands died, thousands and thousands are left with uncurable health issues.
Today the government is mandating companies cannot use a certain poison -- which has been linked to certain health risks -- to color food to sell to children.

Totally the same thing.
Agreed.
It is totally ok for the government to meddle in both the operation of the free markets as well dictate to individuals what they must or must not put into their own bodies, because otherwise, people might make choices which are not in their own best interest.
Or in the best interest of the corporations which fund our elected officials.
If it is medically proved that a certain inoculation is in fact practical and desirable, those who want it will take that inoculation. Now if some people do not see it that way—do not agree or don’t want to take it, only they will be in danger since all the other people will be inoculated. Those who do not go along, if they are wrong in this case, will merely catch the disease. They will not be a danger to anyone else and nobody has the right to force them to do anything for their own good against their own judgement. They will merely be ill then, but they could not infect others.
If someone has a contagious disease, against which there is no inoculation, then the government will have the right to require quarantine. It’s to protect those people who are not ill, to protect the people who, to prevent the people who are ill from passing on their illness to others. Here you are dealing with a demonstrable physical damage.
Replace "someone has a contagious disease" with "company is poisoning food supply," "quarantine" with "the company to cease," and "passing on their illness to others" with "ingesting poison from others".

Completely agreed. I trust the science on this one, because a politician whom I like told me to.
Having complete control over my own body, and my own liberty, can be dangerous not just for myself but for those around me. I am grateful that we have a strong central government to protect us and keep us safe.

I had no idea there was a term for this. Obama was a master at this, except he'd keep businesses guessing at whether and how much taxes and regulations would increase.
