Not knowing anything about the guy, and reading the comments here it seems like this dude was the second coming of Hitler. What did I miss?

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 18 points 1 day ago

A typical enemy of the people. Hated large numbers of his neighbors based on skin color, orientation, etc. allied himself with the corrupt and fascist. Took shelter in religious ideology to pretend he wasn't a bad person. Also a multimillionaire. The usual.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Dude put hate out in the world. I didn't agree with cheering on his death but i certainly understand why they are and it's 100% their right to.

Vaccine status?

[–] Whorehoarder@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Do conservatives averagly (sic) have shorter life expectancy in the us?

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Everyone has shorter lifespans in the US

[–] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

That's not how comparisons work

[–] kn33@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Income and net worth are the best predictors of life expectancy. Geography is the next after that. Those two go hand in hand, though. I don't have anything empirical, but my hunch is that controlling for those factors, conservatives still don't live as long. Things like their ideas of masculinity affecting their willingness to believe a risk is real, or willingness to believe in science based medical treatment.

[–] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Here in Texas life expectancy drops about a half a year per county away from a large city. With the people furthest away living about 5 years less than in Houston or Dallas.

Mostly is lack of preventative care

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

lack of hospitals too.

[–] Rookwood@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago

Toxic masculinity is generally unhealthy. So it would follow if that were the case.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

type 2 diabetes, and heart disease is very high in those population, especially if its poorly managed.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

ootl? i understand there is a show with that name, but idk anything about the persona

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You can read the article, but you're probably better off right now.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

it said "conservative" and "loved Jesus" which could be said about millions of people, was hoping something more particular

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

It also says,

He told a magazine reporter in 2013 that gay people are sinners and African Americans were happy under Jim Crow laws.

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 20 points 1 day ago

Homophobe and trans crusader who helped normalize hatred in the name of his god.

He and his whole family can go fuck off to the mountains and fuck each other.

[–] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Finally, the rot returns to the ground where it belongs.

[–] Sho@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago
