What's this?

Pseudo stats. Like facts. Such as

Covid deaths by county and 2020 results by county. Counties that voted 70% or more for trump have 2.5x the death rate of counties that voted 70% or more for biden. “Pseudo” stats indeed.

It’s data. You can’t just ignore the data you don’t like. Well, I suppose you can, but not if you want anyone other than the right wing retard brigade on this board to take you seriously.
