RELATIVE ATTRACTION: We can confirm that Troy Jackson and his longtime partner are second cousins. They have two children together

Confession: I’m not as hardcore angry as some people are over COVID. Or I wasn’t anyways, for a while. To me it was always this weird thing that came out of nowhere and judging peoples’ reactions to it or, worse, assuming their motives, struck me as slightly disingenuous. The problem for me came when the evidence that COVID wasn’t a mass extinction event started piling up, yet our policies remained the same. At that point I knew that these policies, guided by Fauci and Weingarten and others, were not aimed at our comfort or safety but rather remained in place because they both satisfied massive egos and were politically advantageous to Democrats. And from then on I viewed every bit of suffering as almost entirely preventable, and I’ve never been able to forgive the people who let it, nay willed it, to happen. My anger is in no way satiated by the fact that not only are these people walking freely among us, but they’re even celebrated as heroes by half the country. It is amazing, yet not surprising, that for all the left’s protestations about “injustice” they purposely overlook, even celebrate, the most egregious abuse of power in my lifetime. I have resigned myself to the fact that nothing will happen to these people in terms of facing justice. Not in this life anyways. As for the next one, well, good luck pleading the Fifth buddy.
