far more important than how red states are dealing with Covid. I'd much rather hear about the Taliban doing bad things, than read about the daily dying of the United States government and it's people. It is hard to understand what the status is of Afghanistan in relation to the U.S., but then that is true of red states as well. I'd ask a Republican but that would scramble too many brain cells.
