Because there are no possible ways to analyze, categorize, parse, or dissect population data other than by "Share of Trump votes," there must not be any other possible explanation for anything other than that red counties = bad, blue counties = good.
"In October, 25 out of every 100,000 residents of heavily Trump counties died from Covid, more than three times higher than the rate in heavily Biden counties."
"As the chart makes clear, the toll has been even worse in counties where Trump won by a landslide than in counties that he won narrowly."This phenomenon is an example of how the country's political polarization has warped people's thinking, even when their personal safety is at stake.
To be clear, he believes that the underlying explanation for higher Covid-19 mortality in red counties is actually the lower vaccination rates in red counties.
Compare to the Biden Counties where Trump had less than 30% of the vote that represents a 110 million Americans, and average population in those counties is 137 thousand.
So the data shows that Red counties having higher mortality rates overall is not a new phenomena at all, and fits with historical trends.
Blue counties had only slightly lower mortality than 'Light Red' counties, with 'Purple' and 'Light Blue' counties having the lowest.
