the suffering is the point. from AIDS to HPV to COVID-19 conservatives haven't seen a disease in decades that they didn't like

It's horrifying true, because in their warped perception they believe these diseases wipe out the "vermin" around them, the people they dislike and are told by their religion to discriminate against. Facts don't enter into their brains at all, including the fact that their own kids are more likely to be the ones coming down with all these diseases, which are spread through ignorance and lack of sexual education.
