Gloom, despair, and agony

America under republican leadership

The most amazing part of the past couple of days has been watching Democrats throw republicans lifeline after lifeline and watching republicans plow ahead with their plan to reopen the economy, coronavirus be damned, and set themselves up for a bloodbath this November unlike anything they've seen since Roosevelt opened up a can of whoop ass on Hoover in 1932.

From letting Dr. Fauci testify with his expertise before the Senate, to highlighting the CDC plan for reopening the economy (which the Trump administration tried to suppress), to the economic package Democrats unveiled today right as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell was letting Americans know that this economic downturn was going to be a lot worse than folks are preparing for...the Democratic Party has done all it can to keep the country safe and prepare for the tsunami that's coming.  The republican party is basically throwing a Hail Mary pass in hopes of a miraculous economic recovery, but the end result won't be merely losing a game but killing thousands more Americans and sending our economy into a tailspin that will make the Great Depression look tame.

I have no doubt that Joe Biden and Donald Trump will each get 45% of the vote this November, but I'm having a real hard time seeing the 10% of Americans who will decide this election walking into their voting booths and thinking, "What this country really needs is more needless deaths and a wrecked economy...I'm voting Trump!"

At that point we might be able to cue "Taps" for the republican party.

Fuck Donald Trump,
