The president wants you dead — and so do his friends and advisers. It's that simple
It's not adequate to say that Trump's regime is stupid and incompetent. That's true — but the malice runs deeper

The president of the United States wants you dead.

Throughout the dystopian horror of the past four years, critics of the Trump administration have speculated, with persuasive evidence and analysis, that Donald Trump and his gaggle of ghouls — Jared Kushner, Bill Barr, Stephen Miller, et al. — are both incompetent to prevent death and indifferent to the onslaught of death if the victims, whether they lose their lives in a largely preventable pandemic, a natural disaster caused by climate change, or at the hands of police or right-wing terrorists, are not white, rich and Republican.

Recent revelations should force Americans to consider an even darker reality, and gather insight into the malevolence of humanity that is typically accessible only in barbaric episodes of history and frightening stories of literature. The most powerful man in the federal government delights in the infliction of pain, misery and grief.

To understand Trump as a sadist, it is helpful to use Occam's razor. The 14th-century Franciscan friar William of Ockham submitted that in order to solve problems, a theorist should begin by cutting away the hypotheses that contain unnecessary complications. The fewer assumptions against reason one makes, the likelier one will stumble upon the truth. (He didn't actually invent this principle, but used it so often his name was attached to it.)

1. Of course he wants us dead.

Black and brown people are dying at high rates from the covid. Old people are dying. Those who will lose their ACA coverage will die. Those people can afford less, and will have fewer insurance options. Young women will die from unsafe abortions or will give birth to unplanned children whom they cannot support.

He assumes that people in blue states will die in higher numbers. (He is wrong).

Only rich, white repubbies need to live. How else can they maintain their majority? Kill off the unwanted!

4. He will use the power to kill if it's given to him. And it has been

He'd kill his own cult as well.
It's the code of the mob. The KGB.

5. This barbaric malevolence is an understatement.

6. The entire GOP party agrees with him. The want anyone they oppose dead so they cannot vote

or consume tax money that is the sole property of the GOP.

7. We're pretty much considered to be cattle;

if the govt. wanted to keep us alive, we'd have healthcare as a basic right.
