“Anything that relates to water quality, removing contaminants, things like that, we’re not touching that,” Tuck [the bill sponsor] said. “It’s anything that has to do with health. So fluoride, vitamins, whatever else it is.”
Oral hygiene has a direct relationship to your health, just the increase of heart disease alone is going to kill or disable so many people
I feel like this presidency is really showing the base/superstructure distinction.
Like, obviously everything that’s happening is in response to the base (declining empire, destruction of the public sphere, etc.)
But there are just so many instances this time around of the fact that we’re being run by ideologically committed morons. Like, removing this shit from the water supply is not, like, a ploy to privatize the fluoridation of water. They’re doing it because they’re conspiracy brained.
And it’s not targeted either, it’s not like they’re pulling funding for fluoridation in heavily black areas or anything like that
They’re genuinely stupid people who actually believe insane conspiracy theories about fluoride and don’t believe in the benefits. There’s no plot. They’re just really really dumb. They’re also evil, but it can’t be understated that they’re dumb.
Daniel Craig’s little speech at the end of Glass Onion describes the current era better than anything else I’ve seen
“It’s so dumb it’s brilliant”
“No! It’s just dumb!”
There’s gotta be a broad overlapping of profoundly stupid and “evil.” The garden-variety evil person probably is just really, really dumb, while a small minority of evildoers are highly intelligent sociopaths.
Of course the more involved they are in organized religion, the easier they probably are to push into weird evil shit, since they’re primed to comply and not question their own actions.
is not, like, a ploy to privatize the fluoridation of water.
But I nevertheless predict that fluoridated bottled water will be on store shelves by the end of the year if it’s not already.
This will not happen. Fluoride is already available to people who can afford it in the form of toothpaste, and toothpaste is a way more effective method of fluoride application than drinking water. The point of fluoridated water isn’t that it’s the best way to prevent tooth decay, compared to toothpaste it really isn’t. The point is that it provides fluoride to literally everyone, even people who can’t afford toothpaste, because everyone drinks water. It is completely pointless as a product.
Kids need fluoride though as their teeth form, toothpaste is not enough
But have you considered: “I drink fluoride water that means I don’t need to brush my teeth.”
Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t this type of guy actually exists. I don’t think there’s anyone who cares enough to buy fluoridated water, but not enough to brush their teeth.
Ah, but you’re not thinking like a grifter!
Picture this: Fluoride water that sells itself as “showing those stupid republicans” the fluoride wouldn’t be the actual main selling point, it would be so a person can loudly announce what kind of person they are (a smug liberal)
You’re right I failed to consider this, looking at it from this angle I could see it
maybe some adhd people who can’t consistently brush but would get the fluoride drink
I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
Watching Dr. Strangelove for the first time was interesting, because of how similar General Ripper’s character is to modern chuds - the same brainworms being around in 1964 as in 2025
Lol I saw the amount of comments and thought, “wow this is a bigger deal than I thought.” Then I saw the federated user coming in.
This is grim. Water fluoridation was one of the biggest public health victories the US had gained.
Keep your teeth safe, comrades. Try a fluoridated oral rinse if you have difficulty with consistent brushing.

The florida jewish dude who shot up 2 Israelis in Miami makes more sense now
Private dentist lobby must be laughing their asses off at how much money they’ll be raking in from this.
fluoride mineralizes and closes your third eye.
lead opens up you up to eternal, spiritual wisdom.
like how pooping the bed and rolling around in it while squealing jibberish turns you into an antennae for Christ.
NOOO MY TEETH
i’ve actually heard even “progressives” say fluoride causes low IQs so not particularly surprising i suppose
Anyone who talks to me and dares to call themselves a progressive and then says the words IQ is getting a harsh slap across the face
I will never forgive the nazis for experimentation with fluoride. The other stuff, too, but also fluoride nonsense.
Nothing really changes
Good idea I guess, wouldnt want to waste flourine flouridating the ocean once florida sinks into the sea next year lol
Florida? More like Fluoride-dont
Removed by mod
There was a first?
Yes, apparently Utah banned around a month ago. I must have missed that reporting too.
it’s got to be a really high bar for me if we’re going to require people to be medicated by their government.
-Governor Cox
Honorable mention: Hawai’i refused to even enact a fluoride requirement in 1966 and it’s failed in the legislature ever since.
In 2015, the state’s 3rd graders had the highest rates of tooth decay in the entire US.
This is one of the bluest states in the entire nation. Would you like to know more?
I hate this godforsaken country.
The dirty soda cabal and dentists conspired to make this one happen
Bonus Fact: Gov. Cox posed with Donvict Dementia last year at Arlington National Cemetery to campaign for votes over dead vets, endorsing donOLD Krasnov. Cox apologized for the vet desecration stunt, but not for endorsing the Tax Tariff Troll. Now kids have to get fluoride in other ways as the government chisels away at the things that actually make Utah great.
Donvict Dementia
donOLD Krasnov
How do these liberal Trump names just keep getting worse?
Give them a break, it’s literally their entire praxis.
I lost all hope when I heard “Mango Mussolini”
FFS you had “Dorito Mussolini” right there and you went with Mango you god damn shitlibs
Mango Mussolini does have alliteration though
But Dorito sounds more like Benito
libs don’t know his full name
So are you going to join an org
or is your idea of “organizing” coming up with more names to call Trump?
can’t wait for mandatory methylene blue water
we’ll have the bluest water folks
