Today I stopped in to talk with a guy I work around at the shop that his work is centered around. He’s the boss. Since the last election, there’s been a 2016 Trump campaign banner up on the wall. I have never mentioned it, cause I need to keep a good relationship with him. His workers are right there with him politically. I just move on and take care of my business and act like that banner’s not up there.
But today, he mentioned that the president was going to try to open things back up in a couple of weeks. I said that the governor was not going to let that happen. Talking again about Trump, he said “Well you and I know it’s (the early re-opening of everything) never going to happen,” then went on talking about the governor and how he was making a real name for himself with his aggressive approach to the crisis. He was talking about Kentucky Democratic governor, Andy Beshear. At that point, I glanced over at the wall where the Trump campaign banner has been for over 3 years. It was no longer on the wall. It was no longer in the shop. It was simply no longer.
As Trump continues to wage his campaign to re-open all business amid all of the alarming rates of increase in new infections, he’s going to continue to shed supporters who were fooled in the past, but can no longer look the other way when he operates against the interests of working people.
I’m predicting a landslide for Biden in November and the senate turning blue as well as the enlargement of the Dem majority in the house. As conditions worsen with the virus and the economy, Trump will only behave more alarmingly. He will leave office as a pariah and the part of the public that still supports him will no longer speak of him. He will fade away just like W did 12 years earlier.
