The COVID response may have reduced leftist voter numbers, accelerating the U.S. "red shift." Ironically, in red states (as well as blue states), hot vaccine batches were more likely to be taken by eager Democrats and Progressives than by hesitant Republicans and Liberty advocates—another self-inflicted blow, much like leftists vandalizing fellow leftists’ Teslas. Leftists’ refusal of effective, unapproved therapies like sunlight, supplements, and ivermectin, coupled with their blind trust in "vaccines", dangerous hospital practices (e.g., intubation), and toxic drugs like remdesivir and Paxlovid, likely drove higher COVID-related death and disability rates among them, thinning their ranks and shifting the political landscape rightward.

That's an interesting way of looking at things.

I suppose any reason to be cheerful is a good one.

Not cheerful, just realistic. The entire debacle was a crime of Biblical proportions. Nevertheless, the universe tends towards self-correction, either by the Hand of God, or by "evolution in action". Take your pick. In any case, the human gene-pool has improved, but at the cost of immense human suffering, mostly undeserved.

I don't mind using the word cheerful. I've had one or two conversations with woke marxist supporters of tampon timmy and cackling hyena version 2. The sheer hate and name calling as a result of pretty much innocuous statements I made was astonishing. I.E. "you only watch fox news" is usually the start of the sheer hate. No, I haven't had a TV for twenty years was my answer. Reminds of the response for mild criticism of jews.

You are bang on, the wokers can hate as much as they desire and no woke defenders will call it hate. If I go on public property in Kitchener Waterloo and wear a shirt or say something that the woke don't like then I can be fined.

Thank you--this has been my own position. I suppose that by mid-terms we may see whether our hypothesis has value.
