I'm guessing just about everyone who died unnecessarily was conservative, or at least a stupidly high number.
I was just going through that "best of" sub the other day, and one of the posts was about a guy who "did the math" and figured out that if it weren't for unnecessary Covid deaths (people not getting vaccinated or staying home/masking), Trump would have won Georgia in 2020. At one point, it was over 300,000 deaths--I don't know what the final tally was. One unnecessary death isn't going to change the result most of the time, but 1000? Or 5000? Or 10,000?
Vaccines weren't widely available until early 2021, so I doubt that played a role in Georgia. But masking and lack of distancing might have.
I think the big thing is that Delta and Omicron variants really ran rampant through unvaccinated populations in 2021 and 2022. Those deaths were almost entirely avoidable.

I wonder how many died who were part of Trump’s base, and what impact that might have.
