So, wear the mask and double the safe distance when near Publicans.

and needs to be circulated more. I live in a small Trump town and I wear my mask in every store even when it's not mandatory.

Pretty much all of the Trumpers don't wear masks.

My daughter just got back from a vacation to Tennessee and she said that no one wears masks there, she and her family did.

Some of the earliest spreads began because of large black church events. Now some of those may have been republicans, but I doubt all. I also see protesters without masks all the time. Have you seen the pictures of parties in NYC, Chicago, cali, etc? Hardly republican hotbeds. This virus is spread by those not taking precautions, no matter what their political persuasion.

Never mind that your statement does not explain spreads in other countries.

No, actually I hate even saying the name of their party and we don't act like them but yes, it is the current reality.
