What Happened in Tuesday’s Vote?
I was really hoping that the POS/GOP primaries on Tuesday night would show a clean sweep for the MAGA team, but that really didn’t happen. Some of the alt-right candidates won, some lost, a few contests are still not done.
But every time the POS/GOP appears to be abandoning Orange Shithead and moving back to reality, I get concerned. Because the truth is that in the general election, if the POS/GOP is dominated by MAGA jerks, they’ll hand over the election results on a silver platter to the blue team.
Take a look at this map:
It gives current numbers for the percentage of state residents fully vaccinated against Covid-19. The darker the state, the higher is the percentage of state residents fully protected against the virus, starting with Rhode Island at 81.5% and ending with Alabama at 49.6%.
With the exception of Florida, all the most vaccinated states are reliably blue states.
Which states are doing the worst job of protecting their residents from this fatal threat to public health? What Al Franken used to call the ‘dumb states,’ but we’ll be a little more polite and just refer to these states as reliably red.
