You'd think a collapsing economy would focus the covidians on something else, but cultists have a way of clinging tighter to their faith in the face of difficulties. Plus, even if they do lose interest in medical tyranny, the kind of people who converted to covidianism will become the loudest constituency clamoring for the government to engage in precisely the kind of counterproductive central planning heavy-handedness that made the last two years a living hell.

I expect red states to escape the worst of that, though.
