That's another thing I actually agree with you on. People keep saying "230,000" deaths, but even if they thought Biden could have done better, how much lower do you think it could realistically have been? I think as you say due to the demographics and health factors of Americans, combined with people's far greater propensity towards liberty more than other countries around the world, that there was always inevitably going to be a large number of deaths. In terms of deaths per population. Deaths per capita are not astronomically high and there are countries doing worse where arguments can be made that it should be easier to control.
However, I do think Trump has acted with very little class and decorum around the issue though, regardless of effectiveness I think his cavalier language has been offensive given the very real danger and impact of the virus. Whatever his intentions, comments about masks, his vendetta with Fauci, the way he acted like Superman when he recovered which to me felt demeaning towards others who have been more negatively impacted by it.
Those are the type of things that bothered me personally, but when I see "230,000 deaths on your hands" or whatever it's just a political tactic with very little meaning beyond the slogan. If it was the other way around around Republicans were shouting "150,000 deaths on your hands" at a Democrat leader they would rightfully be fighting annoyed and fight back at it.
