Posting the same image more than once doesn't make it any less idiotic.

The image isn't idiotic; it just isn't making the point he thinks it is. Look at the slope of the line, not the area under the curve.

I meant the fact that it disproves his point, but fair enough. I'm getting worked up and should step away for a bit.

A reasonable slip of the keyboard, in the heat of the moment.

Anyway, for posterity here's the chart being referenced, since the guy posting it got banned and his comment removed:

I think it's actually a pretty useful chart to keep around for the information it's actually conveying (as opposed to how the banned commenter was trying to misrepresent it) Glad I copied it from his other comment when I had the chance, LOL.

Just an explanation for anyone else, Biden started his term with a higher rate of deaths (steeper slope) and finished with a lower right (shallower slope) thanks for showing the removed graph!
