Yale researchers found that registered Republicans in Ohio and Florida had a higher rate of excess deaths than Democrats.
Fresh out of thoughts, prayers, or tears. They also wasted resources, lives, and time. Enjoy your prizes.

This needed a study? It was obvious to anybody who wasn’t blinded by said politics.
As it turns out, blind loyalty can be fatal.
