Low-key was really hoping that having that sort of demographic representation in the COVID deaths would translate to a different electoral outcome.

But no, we crave fascism I guess. That or the election was stolen in 2024 which I wouldn't even be surprised if that were true given the level of projection Trump and the GOP/MAGAtards regularly engage in.

Demographics is not, in fact, destiny. Partisanship isn't hereditary.

We have a fascist national media that keeps cranking up the crazy in the general population. No amount of disease fatality will change that.

If Biden presided over a stolen election, that's only further evidence of his party's unwillingness to govern.

his party’s unwillingness to govern.

Hey, at least they kept the federal government from being used politically.

Same as forgetting that vaccines saved us. Now we're repeating the same shit we pulled 100-years ago. Great Depression, high tariffs, fascism, all coming around again because every human who remembers is dead.

For example, as a child I was fascinated with grandma's smallpox vaccine scar. Think I missed the cutoff by a year, because smallpox was fucking extinct. She'd also tell me how thankful her generation was for the polio vaccine, how scared she was as a child. She's dead, and so is everyone else who can tell those first-hand stories. So it goes.
