(RETWEET) This may be the most incredible data visualization I've ever seen. It shows COVID-19 transforming from a blue-state scourge (spring 2020) to a red-state one (summer/fall 2020)—with the clear implication being that Trump led his cultists to death.

(PS) Of the two clearly blue states that stay on the visualization—California and Illinois—the latter is last on the list by the end, just about to drop off, and California (we must remember) had massive community spread early on because of travelers (US and foreign) from China.

(PS2) This visualization starts shortly after the partial lockdowns ended—the point at which Trump went to war not against the virus but against lockdowns, convincing red-state voters to rebel against such basic pandemic-response measures. Here we see the deadly—harrowing—result.

(PS3) I saw this visualization on the feed of @AnthonyJClark, but it was originally done by Dan Goodspeed ( https://dangoodspeed.com ), who per his personal website doesn't seem to be on Twitter. Here's where the visualization seems to have first been posted: https://dangoodspeed.com/covid/total-cases-since-june
