We MIGHT be able to convince a few that billionaire real estate developers are their enemies, not people of color. That "Rich Men" song dances a little close to class struggle.

In this specification, covid_deaths_late is the number of COVID deaths per 1M residents (source) since Feb. 1, 2021 (I chose this date in Fridays post since it approximates when COVID vaccines became widely available to vulnerable groups.) Meanwhile, biden is Joe Bidens margin of victory or defeat against Donald Trump in 2020 (source). You can see that biden is very strongly and statistically significantly predictive of COVID death rates since 2/1/2021. The larger Bidens margin of victory, the lower the COVID death rate. Note, again, that this wasnt true in the early days of COVID; its only been true since the vaccines became available.

(53,544 posts)Just number of deaths annually for the group. About 2 million each year and figuring about 60% that probably voted for him in 2020.

(4,728 posts)that they were killing their voters with the antivax etc stuff. Then I realized that they are not counting on the vote. They are using vote suppression and subversion. Honest election workers are leaving in droves after campaigns of intimidation, for instance.

The US has a strong history of this. The Nazis took their Nuremberg Laws from US racial policies and practices, but they weren't even as strict as the US "one drop" rule.

America has some history for breeding cults.
Main feature: Suspend all reason and logic on a personal level, and give full control of your thinking over to someone else.
Assume they have your best interests at heart.
But . . . why choose the lowest of Humanity to hitch your cult worship on?
Some shrink need to explain that one.
