Their silence makes them even worse than him. They believe in nothing except for their white male superiority, money and power.
This is one fucking mess that will take decades to fix but a lot of people have to go to prison this time.

(21,859 posts)he has been speaking with loved ones who have died of Coronavirus, just to get their stories out. These are 52,000 stories, not just statistics (I think Cuomo said that) . I usually don't watch these because I find them difficult to watch-they are too heartbreaking. But I watched this one last night and it got Anderson choked up and unable to talk for a bit. It also made me think of trump. trump hasn't shed one damn tear about any of the deaths. he is truly heartless.
but here is Anderson Cooper shedding tears (he gets choked up at around 4:32 mark) for a husband and father that he never met but was very moved.

(13,012 posts)I realize we as a nation are exceptional(ly stupid) so the data in other coutries doesn't necessarilly apply, but we should see a slow down in the new case rate and the death rate due to the moderately successful efforts at social distancing. But we are going to stop doing that apparently, and so we will have a second wave and that second wave could be worse than the first, the question is when and I have no idea.

(19,953 posts)in the first place. I think the only way there won't be in excess of 100,000 deaths is if they stop testing. There'll be 60k by the 30th, and at the current rate, at least another 60k by the end of May. The longer this goes on in Red states, the more republican voters will know a friend or a loved one who will have died needlessly from covid, the harder Trump's incompetence will hit home.
