Nationally, a study by Yale researchers determined that “the excess [COVID] death rate among Republican voters was 43% higher than the excess death rate among Democratic voters.”

They are literally being deceived to death.

    They don’t love being lied to. They love being told they’re great and wonderful and better than “others”. That that is a boldface and egregious lie is not the part they focus on.

      No, they are literally thrilled by being lied to. That’s why we have Qkooks, Birtherkooks, Bircherkooks, Sandyhookkooks, Start the Steal kooks, Hermancainers etc. Conservatives keep making up 100% total hoaxes over and over and over. They think dishonesty is a virtue and honesty is a vice. It doesn’t even matter if yesterdays lie “it was Antifa” completely contradicts today lie “they were tourists”. All that matters is the thrill they get by not having to acknowledge reality in this particular moment.
