Republicans urge the ignorant to ‘just say no’ to science

Nationally, a study by Yale researchers determined that “the excess [COVID] death rate among Republican voters was 43% higher than the excess death rate among Democratic voters.”
They are literally being deceived to death.

stupid people breed more, so so long as the birth rate among republicans less the excess death rate outstrips the birthrate plus the excess survivial of the democrats then they will increase their vote share.
whether that's the case or not i don't know but they have other pokers in the fire. attacking education in multiple ways for instance. dragging the next generation down to their level.
Their well documented gerrymandering
Their attacks on the fabric of democracy itself. if you can't win elections, get rid of them.
Their stacking of the courts
In true Republican fashion however, they've flubbed it. The youth is overwhelmingly for Democrats and outright loathes Republicans. Either controlling the poor hasn't turned out that effective for them*, or it's too early to see results. And in the meantime, they're killing their already aging and dwindling base.
*I think they've failed to brainwash young poor children. The vast majority of people I graduated high school with a decade ago, in the Midwest, have become clearly liberal and Democrat. Even the ones who were conservative in school.
They're targeting Gen Alpha though (and the one after that). Gen Z is just about out of K12, but their younger siblings have to deal with stuff like PragerU being part of the official curriculum. I hope the teachers can work around it, but it looks grim.
If only more people voted.
