(1,206 posts)not only to appease his Christian base, but to make sure that when it doesnt happen it will stoke the culture war and create more division in America that he loves so much.

Theres also a nightmare scenario where we do just enough to keep the number of active cases from growing, in which case we hit a sort of steady state of around 6000 deaths per day indefinitely.
