An unofficial mantra that morally bankrupt or ethically challenged Trumpublicans and QAnonists should have taken heed of, but were too conceited and dumb to realize that those invisible deadly viruses and their variants were smarter than them.
That “Covid is not stupid” has yet to sink in among Trump’s patriots and diehard supporters is no surprise considering the relatively high rate of infection and of mortality in most red states—a positive correlation between stupidity and mortality is hard to discount.
