After four years of a president who showed his displeasure with disloyalty by publicly firing staffers and appointees on Twitter, all while calling them grade school bully nicknames and provoking death threats against them and their families, one would think that the GOP would shy away from wanting to talk about their hatred of oppressive dictators.
But when a once-in-a-generation virus hit the United States, instead of lining up for vaccines as the country has done for every other pandemic, Trumpsters are insisting that President Joe Biden and Dr. Anthony Fauci are oppressing them by telling them to get vaccinated. Stamping their feet while spreading the deadly virus, they’ve insisted that the entire country is in imminent danger because of vaccine requirements. some of which private businesses have instituted, not the federal government.
Real oppression: “the dear leader demands you pledge allegiance to him!”
Fake oppression: “here is a healthy vaccine to protect you and others.”The anti-vax right are the REAL snowflakes.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), who serves alongside Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) on the January 6th Select Committee and is, therefore, persona non grata to the Trump sycophants that make up the Republican Party, called his party’s crazed anti-vaxxers out for their ridiculous claims and false outrage over a vaccine mandate and other vaccine requirements.
In 1905, the Supreme Court ruled that vaccine requirements were constitutional, and in 1922 they determined that schools could constitutionally deny admission to students who had not been vaccinated. The vaccine for COVID-19 is no different except the president who – fatally, for more than 800,000 Americans – bungled the response and tried to brush it away, saying it would “disappear, like magic” and that many CDC recommendations, such as mask wearing, were not to be taken seriously.
Trumpsters have compared vaccine mandates to the Holocaust and to slavery, wanting desperately to be the oppressed ones because they’ve never been the oppressed ones. Thanks to that mentality, the COVID-19 virus continues to mutate and infect Americans.
Twitter was largely in support of Kinzinger’s tweet, while others question his credibility after refusing to vote for a bill to protect voting rights. Read some of their comments below:
