A disproportionately high percentage of the 700,000 Americans who have succumbed to COVID-19 died because, as Republicans, they refused to get vaccinated or to wear masks. Now Donald Trump is gearing up for a possible reelection campaign. He might really miss those lost voters.

Welp, that’s the thing with Prayer Warriors (TM). When God answers the prayer, it’s proof of His divine mercy and love. When He doesn’t come through, and six or seven kids are left without parents because Facebook permitted posts about horse dewormer being a cure for COVID? Well, “it’s a mystery” that doesn’t shake the faith. It’s a win-win. Like how Biden’s supporters simply will not condemn him for being useless. Or Kamala Harris. (Is she even still around? I haven’t seen her in about two months.)
And let’s not forget that the Trumpers are CONVINCED the election was stolen. Facebook, Twitter, etc., allowed these people a star chamber for their delusional state to solidify. All the monkey business everyone was afraid of (two sets of electors, etc.) in 2020? If Trump doesn’t actually win in 2024 (a bet I won’t take), the Republican governors will have no choice but to verify the way Trump’s fanatics want because the other option is a whole pack of lone wolves committing terrorism (and nothing’s worse for re-election at the state level like a couple of mass shootings that could have been prevented).
