Trump's sociopathic donors and the GOP let over 1.2 million Americans die of covid.

Republican electoral wins are associated with spikes in excess mortality rates.

@Npars01 @Blinxeto @samhenrigold I can’t count the number of conversations I had in 2020 explaining how the red state governments were covering up massive numbers of Covid deaths. Texas and Florida in particular. CNN went right along with their bogus numbers, even though their case/death ratios were obviously completely bogus. Recall that DeSantis fired his statistician, told lies, and even threatened to have her arrested for trying to get the truth out.

Concealing the true toll of letting a pandemic run amok is one reason why Republican megadonors are funding the GOP to win at all cost.
They don't want scientific studies, DOJ investigations, or Congressional hearings on how over 1.2 million Americans died of covid, or will die of long covid in future.
Especially before they try to get their deluded hordes to vote Republican yet again.
