10. Better than a Martial Law announcement...
Fri Mar 13, 2020, 10:04 AM
Mar 2020

The country shuts down. Everything closes - comes to a stop.
Just in time for the primaries. Don't go to the polls! You could get the virus! That's the next scare.

Keep it up long enough with delaying tactics and Novemnber comes with polling places closed.
Best possible Voter Suppression for Repubs. Elections maybe in 2021..late? or never?

Then when the Military has been weakened, PU-tin might even offer to help...after Blackwater et al, of course.
