I keep fantasizing about a moment in Washington like the one at the end of The Wizard of Oz when Dorothy accidentally throws water on the Wicked Witch of the West. The witch melts and suddenly the evil spell she’s cast on all her creepy guardsmen and flying monkeys is broken. They snap out of it and come to their senses.

Obviously, that not going to happen in DC—at least not until Election Day. Even then, there’s a good chance that even in defeat the spell cast over an all-too-significant percentage of the American public and its politicians won’t be completely undone. But throwing out of office the miscreants and their egregious, burnt orange overseer will be a fine start. Too many have suffered death, illness or economic ruin in part because of their arrogant and selfish rule.

None of us want America held back any longer by this awful disease. We all want it returned to normal and maybe even better than it was. But as Elie Mystal at The Nation notes, “Quite simply: It’s the people who are most vocal about wanting the country to reopen who are making it too dangerous to reopen the country. It’s the people who are least concerned about their own health who are putting everybody else’s health at risk…

“We can’t manage the crisis, because too many people have decided to be unmanageable. We are slowly beginning to understand how to protect ourselves from the virus. But we have no clue how to protect ourselves from the virulent people who insist on spreading the virus because they’ve determined they can live with other people dying. A person walking around without a mask isn’t telegraphing that they don’t care about their own life; they’re shouting that they don’t care about yours. They’re willing to be the one who kills you, because they don’t value anybody’s life but their own.”

Donald Trump is their enabler-in-chief.

1. Really it's Trump AND the Republicans.

There are many Republicans that have the experience to know what is right and wrong with all of this.
So Republicans need to be held to account. All of the elected officials that haven't done a damn thing to stop Trump at anytime since he got into office.

3. 1/3 of this country

Has a dark triad personality.

Narcissism ,Sociopathy or Authoritarianism in various degrees.

They are the minority bullying and gaslighting
Proving they are violent terrorists. Trump is exactly what they are along with republicans,libertarians,
neoliberals.

They are toxic people that see themselves as perfect,so therapy does not change them. They never stop being what they are and doing the shit that harms others.
