Culture and politics are territorial. Geography matters. There is no physical barrier at the red/blue divides, at least not yet. But the borders make a difference, because people act differently on different sides of them. I first noticed it hitching across country in the 70s. You wouldn't think Montana and Wyoming would be so different but they are.

The biggest purveyor of COVID misinformation, by far, was President Trump and the Trumpist infotainment complex. It resulted in ~300K unnecessary deaths. Your so-called misinformation campaign about transmission (to the extent it actually existed) caused, if anything, fewer deaths by providing yet another reason to be vaccinated.
Leave it to a MAGA wingnut like you to condemn something that (if it actually happened) saved lives while maintaining radio silence about the widespread misinformation campaign by Trump and right wing media to discredit the vaccine and thereby cause an additional ~300K deaths.

Speaking of COVID Misinformation
CLEVELAND — Two right-wing operatives pleaded guilty on Monday in Cleveland to single felony counts of telecommunications fraud for having placed thousands of false robocalls in Ohio that told people they could be arrested or be forced to receive vaccinations based on information they submitted in votes by mail.
Jacob Wohl, 24, of Irvine, California, and Jack Burkman, 56, of Arlington, Virginia, could each receive a year in prison when they are sentenced Nov. 29 in common pleas court. They were indicted in October 2020 on numerous counts of telecommunications fraud and bribery.

I thought I recognized those names, scummy actors those two. Hopefully they'll get some time in the pokey.
