But that by most accounts is far enough away to convert most to policy that is scientific, that you can’t solve problems by ignoring them, and should cure at least for a time the political fantasy world that Fox is so instrumental in creating. It will give Democrats the White House and possibly the Congress for a time. I think the Republican Party will be thoroughly discredited. With the blues in control they might be able to implement the blue agenda.
If a big agenda item is correcting the mistakes Trump made, I hope for once there is lots of overcorrection. If we needed good healthcare, perhaps we could get great healthcare. If we needed a willingness to solve problems, let’s solve problems.
There is zero chance that the central crisis issue will be the coronavirus. A disease which kills off old and sick people, and about 1 in 10,000 young people, is not a central crisis issue.
The economic collapse started by our response to the virus might be the central issue... for a while. Then we'll have bigger problems.
