So I guess the main question at this point, as the 4th wave starts, is will the rate of death by anti-vaxxers mitigate the impact of extreme gerrymandering such that the Dems can keep the House and extend in the Senate?

Because the GOP media is busy being Chicken Little about inflation and the DeMs In DiSaRrAy. Trump bears the responsibility for about a million deaths and that’s a fact that goes pretty much unremarked on. But they hustle to remark “both sides,” even in regards to covid.

Nah. They’ve rigged enough states, gerrymandered more and have no problems any of the basest kinds of cheating. The mortality rate for Republicans from covid is something like 30-80% higher just because they are so much less likely to be vaccinated and they refused and refuse to believe that covid is real and they take no precautions, but they’ve cheated themselves into a silo where they’re still likely to win.

Those are some insane numbers. Especially West Virginia, which is adjacent to some of the most highly vaccinated counties/states in the country.

It really is a cultural issue.
