Because the excess mortality Republicans had the freedom to choose. The outcome they suffered was a consequence of their personal decision.

Herd immunity is real. When your decisions affect me, I should have some say about it. And vice versa. As a general principle. I'm sure we could find exceptions.

Plus, I disagree with some of the other posters' implications that red lives are less valuable. I suspect they were being facetious. But if we can reduce excess mortality in red states, that is a good thing. Excess mortality is bad, even if I vehemently disagree with their politics.
