I think the death counts would be close considering how bad large, densely-populated cities got hit. NYC, Chicago, LA, and Seattle could tip the scale.

That's the thing. When the victims were disproportionately minorities and urban dwellers, the GOP was cool with it because demographics that lean Dem were getting hit worse

Now the pandemic is mostly raging with the unvaccinated, a demographic that leans conservative, so they care.

Yeah I very distinctly remember having a back-and-forth with someone last summer who was downplaying the seriousness of the pandemic and saying that COVID only affects "liberal ****holes."

Funny how that turned out.

don't worry, libs. We got a clown on the inside. His name is DeAndre Hopkins and he will do everything he can to make sure this pandemic continues to ravage non-white communities.

Neat idea in practice but they tend to be the loud, vocal, cocky, condescending and ravenous ones to start with. For us to be the ones to humble ourselves to try and get through to them, nah. Blessed be the ones who can.

Exactly. All other things being equal, it’s better when people, in a given polity, know where others, with whom they disagree, are coming from. But in practice, there’s been almost no attempts by conservatives to reach out and understand what motivates the majority of voters who don’t support Trump and the GOP.

If we define the left as anyone who didn’t cite GOP or libertarian, then it’s the case that we are part of a larger and much more diverse coalition than the GOP coalition. Yet, there’s absolutely zero curiosity on the part of the American right about any of us.
