So could this virus be what does Trump in?

I mean the stock market is crashing, good chance unemployment could tick up quickly at least for a short period of time. Companies might stop hiring for fear of what is to come economically. Even Trump humpers may have fear of this virus as they seam to be scared of nearly everything anyway. They cannot contain this message as states and large local cities will message however they feel fit including major health organizations and companies.

This will give Dems a massive chance to say "This admin is completely in the weeds and incompetent to deal with a crisis.

He has been successful at one thing and that is making people not believe what they hear on the news, or read in the paper. He has done a number on the US and continues to do so.

But sadly if people start dying in the US I think at least some of the not-so-die-hards might be at least thinking Trump fucked this one up bigly.

We ( we're the SMART ONES, ya know) will continue to respond with snarky tweets and sternly worded letters, while he continues to wreak havoc and we (the SMART ONES ya know) can't seem to come up with any kind of effective response.

We can't even seem to come up with an effective bumper sticker.

Frustrating.

That's why Trump has everyone out there trying to downplay how serious this is. He has them out there saying it's not serious and that the Democrats are trying to make this bigger than it is....even some are going as far as saying the Coronavirus is a hoax made up by the Democrats. They're doing all they can to keep from losing their base because of this.

9. Exactly. By November it won't be safe in crowds or long lines, so polling places MUST BE SHUT DOWN.

Because our safety is more important to him than a stupid election.

11. Personally, I would NEVER EVER toss away my vote just because I'm too lazy to show up.

I have a deep distrust of mail in votes, even though I live in a deep blue state.

Why can't we just vote on Facebook or Twitter?

He'd still call it a hoax, saying they're either fake people or not really dead.
