“It’s All Been Done” is one of my favorite songs by the Bare Naked Ladies. It is the musical version of “there’s nothing new under the sun” from Ecclesiastes. That is how I feel about some of the great debates of our times. It’s all been settled except by right wing ideologues and conspiracy theorists, who refuse to recognize the truth and reality.
Fires ravaging Lake Tahoe, hurricanes savaging New Orleans, and the United Nations issuing a “red alert” have settled debates about climate. The debate is over, it’s done. If you are still a denier, it is probably because of the poison you are consuming on social media.
660,000 dead from COVID, including three conservative, unvaccinated talk show hosts, surging hospitalizations amongst the unvaccinated, and Cam Newton being released by the Patriots, settles the argument. It’s over; it’s done. Vaccinations are safe good, and necessary. If you are willing to die to make a ridiculous point, it is because you are poisoning yourself with social media.
Trump tried to overturn the election, and fomented the January 6th attack. As he would say, everyone knows it. He’s being sued along with Rudy Giuliano, Sidney Powell, the Pillow guy, and many others. The verdicts are in. They are all guilty. It’s over; it’s done. If you don’t or won’t believe that, it is because you are choking to death on the poison available on social media.
It’s all been done. It’s over. There is really not much else to talk or write about. Common sense and science have prevailed. The only conversations we should be having now are about how to mitigate climate change, how to get more shots in arms, and how to bring people to justice for January 6th.
