Interesting because you're the one using an anecdote that doesn't align with reality. Your "lived experience" doesn't really mean shit. You keep pretending like it's only "a small number and we shouldn't judge everyone based off them" but you're just flat out wrong. The entire covid response has been extremely partisan and hiding behind your anecdote doesn't change that fact. The majority of Republicans are in practice anti maskers. https://news.gallup.com/poll/315590/americans-face-mask-usage-varies-greatly-demographics.aspx

And 45% of Republicans have said they never intend to get the vaccine. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/14/us/politics/republicans-covid-vaccines.html

This is not even close to the "small number of people" you keep trying to pretend. Sounds like you're the one who needs to get out more if you honestly don't think there's been a partisan response to this pandemic.
