GET ME REWRITE: Greetings from Taylor County, home to Wisconsin's biggest cluster of Trump COVIDIOTS


Sources:  Wikipedia, Line

Last year, Trump won about 72% of the vote in Taylor County, beating now-President Joe Biden there by more than 46 percentage points — Trump's largest margin of victory of any county in Wisconsin. Taylor County now has the lowest vaccination rate in the state, with under 23% of people as of Friday having gotten at least one dose of the vaccine. 
Taylor is far behind the statewide rate of about 42% having gotten at least one dose of vaccine, a figure that includes Wisconsinites of all ages and is a measure of how close we are to herd immunity — not just those 16 or older who are currently eligible for vaccine

In 1940, the population of Taylor County was 20,l05.

In 2019, the estimated population of Taylor County was 20,343.

The following demographics will come as no surprise. Taylor County is a Wisconsin Festival of Whiteness.

  • 15.1% - Taylor County
