California counties that backed Trump suffer much higher COVID death rates than others.

https://www.sacbee.com/news/coronavirus/article255461181.html

Residents of California counties where most voters supported Donald J. Trump in 2020 are dying from COVID-19 at much higher rates than residents of counties where most voters did not, new state data show.

Trump beat Biden by at least 15 percentage points in 16 California counties. About 51 of every 100,000 residents in those counties died from COVID-19 from July through October, according to the latest figures from the California Department of Public Health. By comparison, about 16 of every 100,000 residents in the 23 California counties that backed Biden by a similar margin died from COVID-19 during those same months.

Eight of the 10 California counties with the highest COVID-19 death rates in California from July through October backed Trump over Biden, most of them by a wide margin.

It is what you expect of those in a cult who believe every word of a conman, who by the way was treated for COVID at Walter Reed and was vaccinated.

But, I live here in California and have friends living up North & in some extremely red parts of California, and some told me months ago that several of their tRump-lovin,' racist, friends/neighbors are vocal, in your face non-vaxxers and will probably not be here come Fall. Can you say self-fulfilling prophecy?

One friend living in Fresno aka Fresneck, told me that her friend's husband passed away from covid-19 about a month ago. The wife thought better of not-masking/not vaccinating and of her husband's deteriorating physical/mental behavior (He kept throwing out sanitizers, wipes, masks gloves out when she bought them, so she put them in the trunk of her car, and carried what she needed on her person), so she sneaked & got tested, no covid, and a co-worker took her to get her first jab a few days later. She never went back home. She sneaked off that night, and went to stay with her niece with an extra bedroom. The niece/hubby & teen son--all vaxxed. That woman had no choice, especially since like I mentioned the husband mentally started losing it to the point where he lost his good, very well-paying Federal job because he refused to vaxx. He also pretty much tried to kill her by coughing in her face, breathing on her, talking loud & spitting in her face, because he wanted to prove to her that covid was a hoax (Sound familiar).

He died a tRump lovin,' racist fool at age 58--He and his covid died alone @ home. His family said they'll press charges against the wife for abandonment That's not going to work, because 2 neighbors saw him yelling at her/push her down this summer several times, and the niece/her husband have cell recordings of him threatening to cough in the wife's face, & threatening to "drink out of the milk/juices" then pour her a glass and make her drink it. I mean WOW @ all of that shit The wife knew she did the right thing by leaving but is extremely distraught, because her/husband met @ 5 and married right out of high school at 19. They were literally together their whole lives.

There are so many heartbreaking stories of people who used to be fairly normal, but when Covid came along, they changed--some of them turning into conspiratorial, anti-vaxing ghouls, fools and fiends, & some taking on murderous tendencies like the lady's husband in Fresneck.

Way too many flawed right wing genes and glad some are being eliminated - by their own choice.
