A conservative woman who is strongly against free vaccinations against the viral pathogen responsible for the global health crisis went on a TikTok rant.
However, in the heat of her frustration, she inadvertently wound up advocating for universal healthcare,a decidedly liberal progressive, socialist viewpoint.
The original TikTok video posted by Samantha Rose—a.k.a. @conservativerose1, a Texan Donald Trump supporter—appears to have been taken down.
In reuploads of the video, the anti-vaxxer demanded answers.
"If giving out free [the virus] vaccine shots is the health of the nation, then why don't they give out free chemo? Why don't they give out free insulin?"
" Food for thought: if the government really cared about people they would make stuff like that for free."
TikTok user @goodtrouble_ stitched Rose's original video to his facepalm response.
He said with a sigh and a smirk:
"That's socialism. Socialized medicine, anyway. Yeah, we want that too."
@goodtrouble_ @conservativerose1 welcome to the resistance
He continued by welcoming the accidental socialist.
"Listen, I don't care that it took you kind of a circuitous way to get here, as long as you've arrived we're glad to have you."
"Bernie stickers are around back, you can pick up your hair dye and your Pride flag. Welcome aboard!"
By Wednesday, @goodtrouble_'s video racked up over 839K likes on TikTok.
Many commented on Rose's political detour.

We may all be on different paths in life, but it is our hope we eventually end up where we need to be—on the side of empathy and compassion.
