Given that older people seem to be more in danger of dying from Covid-19, and given his (its?) refusal to take action and listen to experts, and his (its?) politicizing a worldwide tragedy, and all this bullshit about dying for the economy, is it remotely possible that he (it) deliberately wants to eliminate a specific segment of the population?
I know this goes way beyond tin-hat time, but it does make me wonder.
Ironically, given the status quo, it would seem that a good chunk of the people who will die are his own supporters who refuse to take the precautions suggested by medical experts.

People of all ages are being affected and dying of this.

Reminds me of the "Master Race" idea pushed by Hitler before and during WWII: ethnic cleansing.

(2,716 posts)He had a chance to correct the huge blunder that got us here. All hes done is make it worse. Now he has Bill Barr threatening governors trying to protect their citizens. Hes inciting his followers to go against the guidelines his own task force established. He is blocking efforts to increase testing and making it more difficult to obtain PPE. He is banning immigrants who make up 1/6 of our healthcare workers. He is pushing ineffective therapeutics that are more harmful than helpful.
If his intent was to reduce our population, I cant think of how he could do it more effectively. He is effectively culling the herd of inconvenient and expensive Americans. Sure, hes killing his own cult followers but he only needs them if we have a real election or if he needs them to rise up against his democratically elected replacement.

(14,118 posts)end The ACA/Obamacare, cut social programs like food stamps, Social Security Retirement/Disability, Medicaid and Medicare then we can see that what's happening now is merely a continuation of their
policy to cause harm and death so that they can feather their own nests. We gotta beat these people
down so far that they can never rise up again.

a single vote which may not actually change anything is not acceptable.
Not an acceptable response if it's just that.
