18. As much as Trump deserves instant removal, Republicans will never do it.

We have six months to the election, and frustrating as it is to listen to Trump (I no longer watch), he is doing himself damage even among his own voters. Yes, there are some people who will do the stupid things that Trump suggests, but more people will think he’s bonkers for suggesting that a bright light or ingesting household cleaners might cure coronavirus.

The states that re-open early, like Georgia, will see a big spike in infections—and that will work against Republicans there.

We need to do everything we can to get people registered to vote, and to support vote by mail as an easy alternative to in-person voting. Here in my county, the Democratic Party is finding a way to contact people online and get them the papers to register to vote since we can’t do in-person registrations yet. A lot of local Indivisible groups are also active and have Facebook communications. I know a lot of people no longer use Facebook, but my local group has been active in using it to coordinate letter-writing protests since in-person protests are too dangerous just now.

I’m cheered by the recent election in Wisconsin. If Biden can win states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, Trump will lose.
