I think there's a non-zero chance that putting lead back in gasoline is next for this worm-brained worm.

    You used to be able to eat leaded paint chips when I was a boy, now you can’t because of woke sadness

    We need to go back in time and massacre the entire John Birch Society. I know the time-travel assassination list is getting unmanageably long but the John Birchers need to go.

      John Birch Society

      If I remember correctly they peaked in the 1960s with their anti-communist nonsense conspiracy theories and general public didn’t even know who they were. And anybody who did know - knew they were nuts. But now nonsense conspiracy theories are mainstream though for republicans.

        My understanding is that they had a strong, strong influence on right wing thought and many of their ideas have dispersed in to wider Fash culture. They haunt us from beyond the grave, cruel specters clawing at our anti-cavity toothpaste.

          I wonder if ~60 years ago the JBS toyed with the idea of antivax avant la lettre. But they decided that was too batshit even for them.

    Bring back leaded paint and all those dangerous pigments in artist paint. I want arsenic green again. Put asbestos everywhere. It’s a miracle material. I’m tired of my engine knocking so we need lead in gasoline. Lead paint, leaded gas, you know what, just give us more lead. Lead is how leaders are born. It’s the spice melange, it’s the mojo, it’s the essence of greatness. Finally, put the coke back in coke and make codeine OTC.

    I’ve already seen conservative memes about how they removed the lead in gasoline and house paint because the lead is what protected us from their radiation (I’m assuming that’s how they spread wokeism).

    Guaranteed if there aren’t already: there will be people who start selling lead additives so you can start mixing them into the paint and gas yourself within the next 4 years.
