hauling President Pine-sol off to the side, and telling him, Hey, man - all these Republican governors opening up their states is gonna kill off your base. You oughta be keeping them shut down. Or maybe his campaign staff might mention it to him...?
If these red state people who are clamoring to open up dont die themselves, theyre going to start having more and more people they actually know die, and there wont be a Democrat to blame.

They're putting patients in storage closets to make room.
Putin has enough to worry about in his own country. Their lies about the virus severity is unraveling.

I think they're losing control of information.
Truth is bad, even for a dictator.

(12,712 posts)What concerns me is that I assume that General Cockwomble is aware of what is happening and will happen to his base and that he considers them expendable; an Army of Imbeciles, loaded with fealty.
His method of stochastic terrorism, (and I would venture, in the case of COVID-19, stochastic genocide) gives signals that should not be given. Those signals give a green light to the disaffected, rather simple minded elements of our society. They suggest that prejudice and violence against fellow Americans will be tolerated, i.e., races, democrats, liberals, etc. It's from the dictator's playbook.
The fact that he doesn't really care for his base and never did is very troubling at this stage when one is trying to ascertain what his end game plans are, especially if he realizes he will lose the election. Combine that with a major, tragic pandemic on our hands and it only spells trouble with him having access to power right now.
His base is merely willing, unwitting fodder. We don't want to be the targets of those guided missile miscreants.

Letting things get out of hand now will allow enough time for many to sicken and die (especially in red states) so that more and more of his base will be personally touched by his incompetence. I guess the only metric he is capable of using is the economy. Its certainly been his favorite subject to congratulate himself. He cant conceive that people care about their loved ones because he doesnt.
