Same type of claim, that is not supported by data. If you have the data, please provide it.

In the same vein, you could assume Democrats are more at risk because they put too much faith in masks, thereby entering more risky situations. Not saying that's the case. The point is, your expectation of who gets infected is merely your partisan belief, not anything rooted in evidence.

25 million people participated in the BLM protests this summer... This paper then goes and picks on Trump supporters.
BLM has a purpose, and was despite of covid. Trump rallies are entirely pointless, and everyone there makes a statement of not wearing masks.
If you look at it from a neutral point of view, you’re making a very politically biased statement.
No. You don't have to agree with the purpose, but my statement is factual.
Give me a break...that's obviously your opinion.

First of all, the disease doesn't care about your political opinion; it will spread in protests whether you are a crusader or an infidel. So it doesn't matter what you are protesting about; what matters is disease spread.

Now regarding BLM's purpose, which was police violence presumably. Police kill around 1000 Americans a year. Not an insignificant number but pales in comparison to the pandemic.

Trump rally, pointless, entirely your biased viewpoint. They were protesting the lockdown, which has crippled the economy, shut down a massive number of small businesses, made tons of people lose their jobs, and come January, will evict tons of people. Their protests had a point, but you're obviously misrepresenting them to fit your biases.

So no, your statements were not factual.
