After talking with members of the far-right-wing, conspiratorialist, Red-baiting John Birch Society, the Cold War version of today’s Covidiots, Kentucky Republican Sen. John Sherman Cooper concluded that they “don’t know anything about history” and evidently “never read anything at all.”
So here’s a short history quiz for Covidiots – whose ranks include latter-day Birchers. (Of late, the Birchers have been podcasting against "Covid 19 mania.") The society claims "ratcheting up pressure to strip away additional liberties from those who choose not to get inoculated ... is a classic Communist tactic of dividing the people to distract them from what is really going on."
