Too many Americans now don’t trust the credentialed “elitists” with their graduate degrees and years of research. They’d rather go with the charismatic dunce who cheated his way through high school and can barely speak in complete sentences.

Nationally, a study by Yale researchers determined that “the excess [COVID] death rate among Republican voters was 43% higher than the excess death rate among Democratic voters.”

They are literally being deceived to death.

    I agree with your interpretation completely. I definitely prefer viewing it as a metaphor and I think you’ve explained the metaphor perfectly. My former reaction was triggered by @CrayonRosary’s sentence “Then God cast them out for disobeying him.” I thought I would try to review their more literal interpretation from the same point of view as them – I find it to be an interesting excercise that can lead to better understanding.
