(180,951 posts)72. Journalist States The Obvious: COVID Is Killing Trump Supporters By The Hundreds Each Day By Dems La
This analysis is based on the three studies posted above https://10ztalk.com/2022/01/17/journalist-states-the-obvious-covid-is-killing-trump-supporters-by-the-hundreds-each-day/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
Former New York Times journalist Donald G. McNeil Jr. wrote an article on Medium that stated what everyone with an ounce of intelligence knows but dont dare put in print: Not only is Trump losing hundreds of voters each day to COVID, they are already surpassing the margins the GOP can hope to attain in the swing states. This hasnt been printed because its ghoulish to post the political ramifications of a human life, to which I reply that Democrats arent the ones killing these peopletheir own right-wing disinformation machine is. Hell, we are trying to save them despite the political ramifications. Trumpists dont believe in wearing masks, hate social distancing, and are so anti-vaxx that they wont even listen to Trump as he tried to tout the vaccines. GOP leaders are also undermining public health directives aimed at protecting people. Trump did have a change of heart about promoting the vaccines only because someone impressed upon him that the deaths are his voters. He really needs as many as possible in 2024, but its too lateand getting worse.
Multiple studies from the AP, CDC, and even Texas health services have shown that the deaths are almost entirely among the unvaccinated, and most of those identify as Republican. The profile of a typical COVID victim is now an older unvaccinated person who is obese and lives in a rural areain other words, the same profile as a Trumper. This is already having a major poltiical impact. McNeil did the math:

This is already having a major poltiical impact. McNeil did the math:
As of this week, about 1,800 Americans a day are dying of Covid; the C.D.C. expects that number to rise above 2,600. Virtually all are adults. If 95 percent were unvaccinated and we assume that 75 percent of those were Trump supporters, thats 1,300 to 1,900 of his voters being subtracted from the rolls every single day. Donald Trump lost Arizona by a mere 10,000 votes. He lost Georgia by 12,000, He lost Wisconsin by 21,000. He lost Nevada by 33,000. Right now, about 60 Arizonans, 36 Georgians, 34 Wisconsinites and 14 Nevadans are dying of Covid each day. Seventy five percent of 95 percent of that would be minus 103 Trump voters per day just in those four swing states. Week after week. That adds up.

No, that's not true. Not when the correlation holds by county on a national level.

It may be safe to say that a majority of Trump voters live in the richer, blue states.
