American Horror, Starring Donald Trump
The coronavirus pandemic is spiraling out of control, largely because of the president himself.I think I echo many Americans, and people of the world in general, when I say that I’m having a hard time fully grappling with the gravity of this moment.
It is still hard to absorb that a virus has reshaped world behavior, halted or altered travel, strained the economy and completely reshaped the nature of public spaces and human interaction.
It is also hard to absorb that this may not be a quickly passing phase, an inconvenience for a season, but something that the world is forced to live with for years, even assuming that a vaccine is soon found.
There’s this notion that things could turn on a dime, not because of a human action, but rather because humans are under attack.
