Trump will say and do anything to evade responsibility for his actions with respect to this epidemic.
Trump will blame the Democrats for any failures, deaths, or disruptions caused by the coronavirus.
A significant percentage of Americans will believe Trump regardless of the evidence.
The dam is not about to burst on Trump’s support.
Trump’s failings are not self-evident to his supporters no matter how evident they are to us.
If his support has not yet begun to slip yet, it is unlikely to slip dramatically in the future.
The coronavirus is already a national crises, and this crisis is likely to get worse.
Authoritarian’s like Trump use periods of crisis to consolidate and increase power.
The coronavirus is going to create a considerable period of crisis in this country, in terms of health, economics and social cohesion.
Be warned, the nation is entering a period of crisis. People will be scared, financially desperate, and many will be eager to find someone to blame for their situation. These are the conditions in which authoritarians seize the power that previously lay outside of their control.
No one is coming to save us. It will only be through the united and organized efforts of people like you and me using resources such as this blog and the power it gives us to organize that will stop this country from falling irretrievably into fascism.
