What if...

Demented Donnie and his vile minions have realized that if
they sabotage early COVID-19 testing and allow a larger impact
of the pandemic to affect our country, they could "delay" the November
voting for "public safety," and he declares Martial Law ?

I need a drink.

That was the original intention. The friction within federalism is supposed to end in favor of protecting the rights of the people. Not to discriminate or take away minority rights, but to protect them and grant the most people the most freedom.

The worse the pandemic, the worse it would be for chumpy and his minions. He will be blamed for how bad it is and for being completely unprepared. Right now, a test for the virus costs $3,000 (as seen in other DU threads).

The backlash for the shitty way they are handling it will be insurmountable. They would be far better off if they enacted a good strategy that benefited a majority of people - not just the wealthy.

"inauguration". All his cultists know it too and we're all just waiting for the END GAME to play out...
I think it'll play out well for me and mine, not so well for tRUMP and the cultists.
