Don't know how you'd find out, no doubt a touchy subject, but how many MAGA families had a member

die from Covid, and did it change their opinion of their god-king? We are around half a million deaths and I’m sure many were within a maga family. Do they just chalk it up to fake news, blame the Chinese, or some other typical response? Or have some of them changed their minds about their fearless leader?

it would be a stretch for them to blame it on Dear Leader. More likely they're blaming the Chinese, or Dr. Fauci, or claiming it was always the flu or some other ailment because covid is a hoax.

I noticed when I drove up to the funeral home a pod of people standing outside with no masks.

When I went in, the whole family was standing in a receiving line with nobody wearing masks besides myself.

I dropped my charitable donation into the box, signed the register, and left.

I felt bad, these are long time friends of mine, but I can't afford to get sick, and this looked like a spreader event to me.
