There is no evidence that I am aware of which would indicate places with strict mandates (Boston or LA) did significantly better or worse than places that made such mandates illegal (Texas).
The outbreak curves and percentages are basically the same, especially when you account for the population differences in age, obeasity, diabetes, etc.
A red state might do worse at times, but is also more easily explained as a result of a more vulnerable population.
Be scientific about it rather than political. There are a lot of ways to analyze the data.
