The kindest and most compassionate thing we can do right now is openly cheer for conservatives to defy COVID-19 quarantine guidelines and for Red States to relax their lockdown guidelines.

It's the same way that the best way to stop an adolescent fad is for adults to aggressively, cluelessly adopt it. Even if we secretly *want* them to live and learn from their mistakes, the best way to do it is to make them think they're Owning The Libs by wearing a facemask.

At this point, the only way I can imagine achieving this is by telling them we APPRECIATE them flouting public health policy, because we're FINE with them dying for us. I really think it's gotten to the point where they will literally just do the opposite of what they think we want, no matter what that is.
