Here we go again. It would be strong evidence that if you elect a demon, you get a plague.

The "god sends natural disasters to punish sinners and non-believers" camp had it all wrong! Instead, it's, "god sends plagues to punish hate-fueled idiocy" (or just collective idiocy in general).

Note: I'm actually an atheist but it would be funny if this is how the universe worked 🤣
