I'm not sure they get involved in politics like that. They and the Amish just like to be weird and pacifists, off to themselves. Muhfukkas won't even let their mustache grow cause "it means you're ready for war" or a fight
Live free Texans!

No more PAWGs, PLEASE??!!!??
It's their choice so...
Based on what I've seen, more Amish/Mennonites have gotten politically active in recent years.I'm not sure they get involved in politics like that. They and the Amish just like to be weird and pacifists, off to themselves. Muhfukkas won't even let their mustache grow cause "it means you're ready for war" or a fight
And no surprise, they vote overwhelmingly Republican/MAGA. Fukk them

" Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the then nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services testifies during his Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions confirmation hearing at the Dirksen Senate Office Building on January 30, 2025 in Washington, DC.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. advocated for the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine during a visit to West Texas on Sunday to comfort two families whose children died of the disease.
Why it matters: Kennedy has been criticized for downplaying measles risks and the efficacy of vaccines, notes Axios' Marc Caputo, who first reported on the secretary's visit to Texas.
The secretary has a long record of sowing skepticism about vaccines.
Driving the news: Both children in Gaines County who died of measles were not vaccinated, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.
Texas has the largest number of reported measles cases in the U.S. Kennedy wrote on X Sunday that 499 of the 642 confirmed cases in 22 states were in Texas.
What he's saying: Kennedy said on X Sunday he's visiting Gaines County, Texas, to "quietly to console the families and to be with the community in their moment of grief."
He said he's also there to support Texas health officials and to learn how our HHS agencies "can better partner with them to control the measles outbreak."
Kennedy pointed to the deployment of a CDC team "to bolster local and state capacity for response across multiple Texas regions, supply pharmacies and Texas run clinics with needed MMR vaccines and other medicines and medical supplies," among other measures he said he'd taken.
"Since that time, the growth rates for new cases and hospitalizations have flattened," Kennedy said. "The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine."
oh word?Poor child was doomed from birth
