A modern-day Jefferson Davis of the Pro-Plague States of America

Trump Leads Pro-Plague States to a COVID Civil War

Rick Wilson: “Donald Trump fired the first shots in the COVID Civil War this week, a modern-day Jefferson Davis of the Pro-Plague States of America sending his opening salvo from Fort Twitter at Democratic governors who dared to question if it wasn’t just a wee bit early to end the stay-at-home orders in states still far to the left of the peak.”

“He started the week with claims of ‘total authority’ and then cried about a supposed mutiny by mouthy state leaders. By Friday, he was up to calls to ‘liberate’ states.”

“Who does he want people to rise up against, exactly: People who don’t want to die? People who don’t want protesters spreading a deadly disease that’s already killed 34,000 Americans? Governors who swore an oath to serve their states and protect their citizens? Science? Medicine?”

he is truly a stable genius, and smarter than all the generals.

"ironic" use of nazi flags by his army was a surprising tactic.

What's really dangerous is that tens of millions of voters think he should be.
