A Horrifying Thought - If Shitstain Had Won, What Would Be Different On COVID?

[hatrack]

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

We're getting fucking clocked, and it's going to get exponentially worse for months, and Trump can't be bothered to even mention the pandemic. Hell, he hasn't even had a national security briefing since October 2nd, let alone a COVID "task force" meeting.

We're already looking at potential health-care collapse, at least in certain states and regions, with the beginnings of an actual, informed response from the federal government still two months away.

Now imagine a continuing federal non-response lasting six months or a year or more, as President Harkonnen fills his busy days with golf, Adderal and jerking off to internet porn. Even then, a vaccine would be available only to those who pay, because that's how he rolls.

1. This is the herd immunity that Trump favors

The virus runs rampant and millions of Americans die.
In his thinking the healthy survive,
making America great again.

2. There's a strange component at play with the coronavirus

States that had been spared large outbreaks of Covid-19 are starting to see explosions of infections. Generally, these are the large but less populous states like North and South Dakota. Because those Republican-led states didn't follow the CDC guidelines, their infection rates are expanding exponentially.

These surges are overwhelming the health systems in those states. The Dakotas are telling healthcare workers that even if they're infected, they should still come to work! This is idiocy and it's simply because these states refused to understand the science behind the virus. They embraced Trump's stupid ideas that this disease was no big thing. Surprise! You Trumpers are fucked.

The people in these mostly Republican-led strongholds are about to learn how their leaders have failed them. They're about to see the dangers this disease presents. And they're about to learn that good government and science are the only things that can save them.

3. This country's been running on magical thinking fumes for 40 years

And here comes reality with hobnailed boots on, and half of America can't even muster up an appropriate response like "Ow! Stove! Hot!" because Jesus or flags or guns or something.

4. I will disagree. If Joe Biden Kamala Harris had lost, then Trumpers would be...

If Joe Biden Kamala Harris had los, then Trumpers would be dancing without masks.

Basically, there would be a lot more SuperSpreader events, assuming Trumpers wear fewer masks than the statistical averages.
