[kj] OT: Trump

[Thomas Bell]

I find it incredible that shit unwound to the degree it has in the matter of
just 3 months.

 

Trump is an asshole and a shitty President to be sure but the blame for what
we're currently dealing with falls on far more than just his shoulders. The
idiotic partisan politics that have dominated this country have only
magnified the problems and limited if not outright stopped solutions from
what otherwise should have been easily solvable problems.  The terrible,
inconsistent managing of the Covid crisis on the Fed, State and Local level
is a prime example.  Theoretically, we'll soon be having a massive second
wave of infections thanks in large part to the past weeks' worth of throwing
out "social distancing" guidelines so everyone could have massive protests.
So much for shutting down the economy and putting 1/4th of workers out of
their jobs.

 

I'm more disgusted with the stupid, selfish behavior of Americans than I am
with The President who at least we'll have to option of voting out in a few
months.

Living in the US right now is living during wartime. I have to check in with
my Latino students weekly to see if any family members have died. The virus
is spreading like wildfire, mostly due to intentional genocide by Dump (the
death rate is several times higher for ppl of color). There are mass
suicides, including of doctors, who cannot face reality anymore. The economy
is in ruins. Mental illness and domestic abuse have exploded. Cops are
beating, killing, and torturing men, women, and children in the streets and
even in their homes. The hope is that more and more people hate fascism and
are trying to defeat it.
