Essentially, for Republicans, it seems like avoiding raw milk is the new masking — and they’re just not going to do it in order to prove a point.
For instance, in April, Infowars host Owen Shroyer called the Food and Drug Administration a “gangster mafia” who wanted to “make raw milk illegal.”
“So, now that more people are going to local farms and farmers markets and consuming raw milk, this angers the FDA,” Shroyer said. “This angers Big Milk. Say, ‘No, you need to pasteurize milk, it’s a lot less healthy for you.’ See, eventually, they’ll just make it illegal. They’ll just make raw milk illegal. That’s what this is all about.”
While that sounds straight forward in theory, these same idiots will give their children this same milk and wind up killing them.
Still fits in the parameters of natural selection.

Leadership based on fear and outrage.
Shame.
Shameful
You know, I’m inclined to just let them fuck around and figure it out the hard way.
They pulled the same shit with coronavirus, and it killed a small - but electorally noticeable - fraction of the conservative population, over and above the rates that the general population saw. Given that this is a regressive segment of the population that generally tends to hurt the rest of our society, I’m not going to object too strongly if they want to thin their own herd out with Darwin awards. Please, continue “owning the libs” by harming your own political base.
I’ve been at this stage for a while. Popcorn out, schadenfreude mode ready, and remaining uninvolved.
I did not have “rickets” in my 2024 GOP bingo card.
Politics outside the US can get pretty goofy, but Americans just seem to be on another level… just a shame that we all end up having to deal with the consequences :(
With these kind of articles, it’s a safe bet that almost nobody at all, Republicans or otherwise, cares or even knows about raw milk. It’s a non story.

I swear there has to be something in the water over there or something.
It’s weird. They used to take such great pride in not being like the French.
Then again, they also used to think the Iraq War was a great idea (unlike those filthy French).
Do they even eat chocolate that taste like barf anymore? Man, if old Hershey was still around, he’d set them straight. Or the other thing. Either way, he’d do it decisively.
You can’t tell me what to do!
Apparently for some, this is where right-wing political philosophy starts and ends. Everything else seems to be retrofit around this principle, regardless of its rationality. Even if the party in question is giving you sound advice, like not to drink raw milk, and is doing nothing to prevent you from doing so if you please.
The new GOP mascot needs to be a pig.
They belong in the realm of disease, not animals.
Why don’t they skip the middle step, and just suckle off the teat directly? It’s healthier that way!
It’s a conspiracy! Big Cow is getting in the way!
Ah the new dying to own the libs
The knowledge fight guys are gonna love this
So. If we do nothing, Republicans will go drink raw milk? Sounds ideal! Unless they also want the rest of us to drink raw milk. I’m vegan so it doesn’t affect me, but sounds like a thing you just let them go crazy on. Then we can talk about COVID25 and the rise of madcowcovidbirdflu v2.1.
Just wait until they notice beef is coming from cattle too … ;-p
Reminds me of ‘Soylent Green is people!’
I hear the libtards also hate skydiving and jaywalking across busy highways wearing dark clothes in the middle of the night.
That’ll own 'em if you do those things, too.
Skydiving is OK, but only because it’s regulated. What really pisses the libs off is skydiving out of your buddy’s crop duster with a homemade wingsuit.
Gravity’s a woke scam anyway, just jump from a tall place and drink those lib tears.
