Thousands of Americans cannot wait till November, they'll be dead.

I may be dead, you may be dead. Trump is killing us and he will continue to kill us. Does anyone hear doubt Trump will lift the stay at home order too soon?

Yes, some states will refuse to do that, but Republican states will listen to Trump. Those states will spread the virus. We have to get rid of this motherfucker NOW! We need a nation wide call for Trump to resign. Anything less is suicide.

1. K&R. This will be a long process, but it starts today. The problem is, this is bigger than Trump

and we've got to push off systems and things we may not dislike.

But we can do this, if we have the willpower.

Response #1 - Trump and the Dow are linked. People use it as an economic barometer. People are even linking it to when our economy recovers from COVID. Well, that's dangerous and ill-informed (No pun intended). Trump has touted the Dow as a selling point of his administration and even here has not been immune to that.

If you REALLY want to attack Trump, then you attack the Dow. And I don't mean you say "Ah, but it was high under Obama for X, Y, and Z". Oh no, I mean you attack the credibility of the Dow.

Make things like these become common knowledge...





If people google "Dow" or "Stock market", these things should be showing up in the top of image search results.

Another thing to attack the credibility of the Dow is to notice and make it noticed that the Dow is often not connected to us, to our economic lives.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142456989 (Stocks roar, with Dow spiking 1,300 points)

These 2 things were posted hours apart. Get contradictions like this noted.

2. Response #2 - "I alone can fix it" means he has taken on centralized responsibility

"With so many decisions made by so few people in the (regime), mistakes of judgment, policy, and action are likely to occur."
-From Dictatorship to Democracy, page 27

With centralized control comes centralized responsibility.

Question the regime's competence. You question their ability to handle the logistics. You question their flexibility. You question their ability to respond to a crisis. You question their charismatic abilities and "divine guidance". You question their legitimacy.

"Can't"... can't handle this pandemic.

3. We need new indexes to measure economic prosperity for the vast majority of Americans.

Using Wall Street numbers to gauge the economic wellbeing of average Americans is like putting Jeff Bezos in a room with 99 homeless people and concluding - on average - everyone in that room is a billionaire.

4. Absolutely!
