Except what you describe is NOTHING like the friends I lost. One was black and hated Trump. He was dyed in the wool liberal but not BLM or militant. The most gifted athlete I've ever known and the smoothest dude with the ladies, too. We had epic political discussions. The other was a probation officer in California and the vax was mandatory. Zero political leanings and one of the funniest guys I ever knew. Never saw him lose his temper.
I don't want to upset you, but your personal anecdotes are irrelevant to me.

I don't want to upset you, but you are the one who offered personal anecdotes, not me. I offered population mortality and morbidity statistics
I think you have this completely the wrong way round
