Now, why is this the case? It goes back to the rabbis leading those congregations and Trumpworld courting them for support and buying into the baffling bulkshit.

They’re still resistant to the idea of masking or vaccination and remain a danger to all involved.
Trump might be gone, but the policies and damage he inflicted remains.
