Except in this case it will take the elders, not the firstborn.

Not to be melodramatic or anything, but maybe the red-state progressives should stay inside and put lambs blood above their doors for the next few weeks or months, just to be on the safe side: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagues_of_Egypt#10._Death_of_firstborn:_Ex._11:1%E2%80%9312:36

There are progressive individuals (and organizations) in red states.[1]   I hope those individuals stay safe while the pandemic continues.   I don’t hope that they come out of their homes to help their locality and get sick in the process.   Of course, some may have to put their health at risk just to eat and pay rent, no thanks to the preferences of their neighbors and local leaders.  I don’t know what purpose your categorization serves, other than as a way to express frustration.   I also don’t want the people you mention above on ventilators or in ICUs, because these are scarce resources.
