2. I guess it's not too soon to Google that question. There might be some data on it.

Somebody's bound to say something, I'll bet. It won't be long.

It felt like an assault when the MF descended on my little community a couple years ago. We good to yourself and don’t watch any media about it. That makes it worse.

6. Like killing itself, Trump seems to believe that he gains power by spreading the virus.

He knows, absolutely, that his rallies will kill people. But what a rush it must be to know that his fans will RISK THEIR VERY LIVES to sit and stand through an hour of his vapid bullshit. Now THAT'S POWER!

And he'll always want more. So he'll use the pandemic death toll as a means of gaining more power.

Now he's advocating for the extrajudicial KILLING of crime suspects, with no indictments, no discovery, no court proceedings, no trial. Just kill them if they are suspected of killing some of HIS supporters. Kill first, and don't even ask questions later.

Trump's policy of retribution will unfurl in all of its full glory if he gets another term. He'll also release all of his criminal cronies from the justice system. He'll let them go so they can work for HIM, once again.

And the 40% who still will die for Trump? They're still here.

But I came across something interesting yesterday about voters. A poster noted that, when Goldwater was running for president in 1964, he was highly unpopular except for a strong minority of rabid Republicans. He got trounced by LBJ in the election. His approval ratings at the time were at.... 40%. So maybe the 40% is the basement of support that any GOPer will get. Trump is at around 40%. If he stays there, he'll get trounced. And he deserves it. At 40% to Biden's 51 or 52%, Trump and Putin's cheating won't be enough to change the verdict. But we have to know by now that McConnell's Senate will rely heavily on flipping the voting machines, with Russian assistance, to help him keep a Senate majority. That's another big danger.
