Q NOTES # 816: Miscellaneous Misfortunes

 One of the Trumplickan candidates for governor of Michigan, Ryan Kelly, has been arrested by the FBI. Specific reason for the arrest is still unconfirmed, but this Kelly guy was one of the flaming assholes participating in the coup attempt on 1/6/21.

One of the few issues driving the Trumplickan political agenda these days is the White Replacement conspiracy theory, part of which asserts that white Trumplickan voters are gradually being replaced by non-white Democratic voters. Daily Kos has an interesting report today that may be germane:

In the early stages of the COVID pandemic, the death rate among non-white Americans was significantly greater than the white death rate. The reasons for this were fairly obvious socioeconomic factors that were easily identifiable. However, the death rate among white Americans now exceeds that among non-whites. Contributing factors include aversion to vaccinations, masking, and social distancing, particularly in red states and red areas in other states where COVID public health mandates are prohibited. In a sense, white Trumplickans are responsible for any replacement of white Trumplickans that's occurring.
