    here in new england a lot of what are essentially republicans run as democrats for electability reasons. not that there’s a huge difference between the two generally but we’ll get some extra chuddy dems up here for that reason that won’t even bother with a mask.

      That’s basically everywhere democrats hold power. A lot of conservatives still live in those areas, but the whole government apparatus is controlled by the democratic party. So conservatives will run as democrats to get in office and democrats have zero party discipline except when it comes to chasing out the left.
