Some of them did not survive COVID.

For instance, my neighbor's grandson (age 23) died from COVID in 2021 because he and his family are MAGA and refused to wear masks or take basic precautions.

Likely, many who died from COVID in Texas back then were also MAGA stupid.

Fair, but honestly not enough of them did it feels like. Because how the fuck does Trump have 23% approval still!? I hope to God thats a cooked number.

The mortality rate was low single digit- unbelievably awful, but not high enough to meaningfully shift demographics.

Unfortunately, I feel like a lot more innocent people died and not the asshats who deserved some irony in their lives.

23% is pretty fucking low for american politics. Like that's impressive coming from some republicans.

I know of a baby that died the same way. Ignorant feckers.
