Well, considering the last time they were that close was 800 years ago and the next time they'll be that close will be 60 years from now, I think we did ok....

Covid And Republicans...

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"the average death toll in Republican districts is higher than in Democratic districts."
https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2020/12/08/the-changing-geography-of-covid-19-in-the-u-s/

"Republicans are hit the hardest as coronavirus spreads among elected leaders"
"A persistent refusal to adhere to COVID-19 safety measures has put many Republican leaders and the public at risk, experts say."
https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/2020/12/03/coronavirus-hits-republican-elected-officials-hardest/6413673002/

"county-level consumption of conservative media (Fox News) was related to reduced physical distancing. Finally, the observed partisan differences in distancing were associated with subsequently higher COVID-19 infection and fatality growth rates in pro-Trump counties. Taken together, these data suggest that US citizens’ responses to COVID-19 are subject to a deep—and consequential—partisan divide."

Of course, we have our Trumptoids here, too:
