Trump Supporters–An Endangered Species
We’ve previously noted that Trump supporters tend to be anti-vaxxers, and that anti-vaxxers are far more likely to die of COVID-19 than the rest of the population.
Something that needs to be added on top of this phenomenon (death), however, is removal from society by way of incarceration. Here’s the fellow, a Republican who lost a local election in New Mexico by a landslide (74% to 26%), who became convinced that the election was rigged, and then, with a team of hired thugs, went about shooting into the homes of the Democrats who beat him.
Felony charges range from aggravated battery to illegally discharging a firearm to conspiracy. We don’t have to worry about seeing this sociopath on the streets for a least a few decades.
I suppose we need to thank these people for making themselves disappear, rendering our world, incrementally, a bit safer and saner.
