Probably an older population plus drugs
My question is what do you think is causing this rapid increase in deaths?
Democrats are acquiring more voters.
Agreed. Add in excess deaths caused by missed or delayed screenings for cancer and other diseases during the outrageously prolonged lockdowns . It was even predicted by The American Cancer Society, but the idiot politicians kept on with with them anyway. See here:

Yes, the American Society (and articles in respected medical journals) predicted increased cancer mortality due to “delayed diagnoses; interruptions or alterations in potentially curative treatment; the possibility that some adults will abandon prior patterns of preventive care; and the expectation that millions of adults will remain unemployed and without health insurance.”
Yet the idiot politicians kept on with the lockdowns anyway.
Since the beginning of this year, we have had a blood test tube shortage, which impacts cancer screening and screening for other maladies:
It’s likely a combination of aging Boomers (which was predicted long before Covid), plus effects of the stupid lockdowns (delayed diagnoses of cancer and other serious conditions, plus flabby immune systems), and increased suicides and drug overdoses (exacerbated by the lockdowns).
