He’s a father of a 28-year-old son and he’s hurting. A retired police officer, he proudly voted for Donald Trump every time he ran and never hid his political beliefs from his family. “My son and his wife say that since I’m a fan of Trump they’re no fan of mine and cut me off,” he said. “Now I can’t see my only grandchild who I was so close to. It’s crazy and it’s tragic.”

It’s also increasingly common. The 2024 election spatchcocked the nation, widening a rift that was exposed in 2016 and put in an even sharper gulf four years later. Now, the hyper-partisan politics in the shadow of the 2024 election is breaking the bonds of families to a greater extent than ever before.

Biden is responsible for hundreds of thousands more, ending Covid assistance,

Nope. You totally made that up. He was criticized for providing TOO MUCH Covid assistance.

forcing people back to the office,

Biden never did that at all. It would only even be possible for him to do that with government workers. Which is what Donald Trainwreck is doing. They already drafted a mandate to force all government workers into office 100% of the time.

Prosecute them both for these deaths.

There is nothing whatsoever to "prosecute". Biden saved lots of lives merely by running the government in a competent manner. Donald Trainwreck costs many lives in Covid, but incompetence is not prosecutable. However Trump certainly could and should be prosecuted for Treason and Sexual Assault and Fraud and stealing government secrets.
