My daughter is NOT a "redneck" and does not speak like the example given. She has had Covid and was told by her doctor NOT to get the vaccination at that time. She then caught a second case of Covid which she shrugged off. Before coming to visit recently, she (along with all of her family) were tested negative before traveling to see us. All through the pandemic she has been working full-time and has NOT received any Covid stimulus, even taking a hit on a rental property she has where the tenants did not pay rent for four months or more. So, if I take a bit of offense at some of the ignorant and elitist posts, it's because I find that making fun of someone or some group that you do not agree with does NOT convince, but only alienates.
Telling someone that their choice is stupid does not convince. Telling someone that the reason they feel an action is the appropriate thing to do is making someone feel that the choice is a smart choice.
