Conservatives are afraid. They (at least the professionals and the GOP as an organisation) are well aware that they are on course to get irrelevent in the future. Not only are their politicians getting older, their voter base is getting older and shrinking. So the try everything in the book to stay relevant: Gerrymandering, reducing access to the voting process fro people who are unlikely to vote for them, etc. And as we all know, fear, or worse, existencial dread, leads to hate for the other side, the group of people seen as their very threat to their existence.
They are basically cornered rats, clawing and biting the pest control man.
There is no safe place in Gaza. On purpose. It is the IDF hunt&kill zone, nothing more, nothing less. Who does not get shot or bombed will get starved on purpose.
There is a very big difference between the headline of "Bird flu virus found in pasteurized milk" and the real message "fragments of the bird flu virus had been detected in some samples of pasteurized milk in the U.S.". Turning potential health hazards and threats into harmless particles is the very job of pasteurizing. That is excactly why we pasteurize milk.
Heck, the virus particles could even evoke immune reactions, thus vaccinating us in a natural way. Just by drinking milk.
Don't give the Republicands anyy more ideas. DeSantis probably reads The Onion as a source of inspiration.
On the other hand, The Onion has perfectly summarized GOP ideas on this topic...
