Trump is done. The extremists on the other side are taking over
Crises are known for strong government, solving the problem at hand, and putting the common good way ahead of personal goals. Yes, you got "authoritarianism" in past crises. This mellowed in the high. On some issues, especially related to the virus, we might echo that if you count enforcing isolation as authoritarian. The problem will be solved.
Is putting other's lives ahead of personal and trivial discomfort authoritarianism? Is it a terrible abuse of power to force people to honor one way corridors in order to maintain social distancing?
On other things, such as police racial violence, you will be reducing abuse of authority.
I tend to agree on Trump.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
