By October 1st, the U.S. will reach 175,000 deaths. At that rate, we may reach 200,000 by Election Day.

How will that work out for Trump?

So much damage has already been done it doesn’t seem like having everyone take precautions seriously (which you know isn’t going to happen) would make a huge difference. Who would have believed 5 yrs ago, prior to trump, we’d be in such bad shape. Trump is largely to blame, but it scares me to see how much of the country follows his lead. They are idiots, but if trump wore a mask and endorsed cautions most of them would have fallen in line.

I have a projection; trump will drop dead or resign and the majority of the nation will at a minimum be relieved with many outright celebrating. That will push the idiots to violent acts. I’m not worried about a civil war with these cowardly pansies, but I could see some nasty violence erupting.
