It's not just that. They distrust science and medicine in all things. These are fat, gullible people, in overall poor mental and physical health; exceptions have only skated by on dumb luck. If they didn't believe the docs on virus prevention, they don't believe them on obesity and lung disease prevention either. If they didn't wear masks for COVID, they don't wear them for spraying paint remover at their jobs.

It's industrial hygiene and physical and mental hygiene to which they are ignorant, personal hygiene, too. If they didn't social distance to stop the spread, they dont wash their hands after taking a huge messy shit.

You've gone a bit overboard there and come off rather unhinged.

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of conservatives have decent bathroom hygiene. Lol.

Not to mention the study confirmed that the two groups has similar mortality before covid and before the vaccines

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Decent? What makes you say that? If anything, conservative Americans at best would just have similar hygiene to non-conservative Americans. Which means poor. Because yall don't wash your ass. You wipe it with a rag and don't use a bidet. Just walking around with brown rings all day. No bidet-free culture has good bathroom hygiene!

What are we supposed to do at work or in public restrooms, use the bidet everyone else uses? No fucking way, let me keep the toilet paper and just shower daily.
