Two separate studies came out over the weekend comparing the states Trump won by the greatest margins and the counties that went heavily Trump.

The second shows risk of dying of covid twice as high in red states. The first compares counties that went Trump by 60% vs Biden by 60%. Amongst those strong partisan counties the death rate is 2.7 times higher in Trump counties. Vax rate skewed also. You can even enter the name of your own county to see how you did.
I've known 3 people in the last two weeks that had to go to the hospital and were put on oxygen. All were strong Trump supporters Two are both back out but toting O2 bottles around behind them and looking at a long recovery, the third will probably die. All believed in those nutty cures, and then it was too late for the monoclonal antibodies. None even knew about the meters you buy for ten bucks and put on your finger.
My county that went 58% Trump had higher Vax rate than average and only slightly higher death rate, lotta seniors here. High Plains conservatives are maybe not so typical. They like science and medicine just fine.
