I can't stress enough how wrong and disingenuous the most recent wave of COVID revisionism is. The *only period* when Democratic counties had higher death rates was April-May 2020. From June 2020 onwards, Republican laxity and denialism were the most powerful force driving deaths.

Republican control of the information environment means voters don't hear about GOP failures but Dem failures are endlessly repeated. When no Dem failures exist they invent fake ones and repeat those

"We just need to triangulate harder" is a maddening position to read when Republicans are consistently rewarded for doing things that would have been considered career-ending even 10 years ago.
