Does all this chaos mark the end of Trump's era?

I remember the Bush era ending with the 2008 financial crisis.

Do you think the current chaos we are experiencing signals the end of Trump's era?

Who or what was the source of this rotten movement that surged throughout the world in 2015?

Think he’s done till his fetid corpse melts into the ground. As in most horror stories the evil one is thought to be vanquished, dead beyond repair, yet in one final twist... he’s back.

Keep fighting.

The climbing death toll coupled with Hoax and "I am not responsible" will be all that is needed.

The only thing to be determined after January 2021 is whether or not his cell should be padded.

On the opening screen of my iPhone there’s a blurb from the Washington Post that Trump’s base doesn’t care that he bungled this crisis.

We’ve been seeing threads for years celebrating Trump’s demise, but he keeps on ticking no matter what he says or does or doesn’t do.

We. Are. Fucked.

But she hasn't hit the stage yet.

I think it behooves the Democrats to operate from the dread that the idiot could steal another victory. It'll keep us hungry and scrappy until election day.

And once again (IF there’s even an election), those damn swing-states (apologies to all DUers who reside in one) will be deciding the entire election, since the rest of the states are pretty much set in red or blue stone. The usual suspects:

Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin

The Democratic candidate will have to take most of those states to beat Trump. It’ll take some serious effort, but Trump is vulnerable. His supporters will view this election as a life-or-death matter (not that we won’t). And things could get ugly with the impotent rage bottled up inside the white male Trumpists. 45’s their cult leader, the “chosen one.”

As if this year couldn’t get any weirder.

That was his 2nd term.
Approval still hovering at 40, so don't count the chickens just yet.

A percentage of right-leaning independents will break off from him. That’s all Biden needs to win the presidency.
