Fascism is on the ballot

We don't have an economic meltdown as severe as that of the three years beginning with the Great Stock Market Crash of 1929, although I would not be surprised it President Trump tanked the economy as revenge. We have over. We do have nearly 225 thousand deaths from COVID-19. We just passed Spokane, Washington (99th-largest city)... next on the list are the state capitals of Idaho (98) and Virginia (97).   Just imagine that a city like Bose or Richmond being wiped off the map; that is how severe the loss is. We have nearly four times as casualties in a costly stalemate as America lost in either the wars in Korea and Vietnam. Well, South Korea is one of the most prosperous countries in the world instead of an economic basket case on par (then) many African countries; even though the Republic of Vietnam eventually fell to the Commies, America got some desirable citizens out of that. 

What existential benefit can anyone see in Donald Trump's bungled response to COVID-19? Try convincing me that his conduct does not constitute negligent homicide.  Donald Trump has done more than any President to divide America into hostile camps. No, there are not 'good people on both sides' between violent racists and the rest of us, the people who prefer that there not be racial strife.  I see a smashing Democratic victory as a way of compelling people who voted for Trump for the wrong reasons in 2016 a fresh slate. I expect Trump supporters to hope for the best and be happy when things that Trump threatens do not materialize.

I have no question that President Biden will have his work cut out for him. This is a Crisis Era, and much about America now is nasty.  "Rona" is slaughtering Americans. Trump has soiled American political discourse. Economic inequality in America is typical of that in a fascist regime. Trump has done great harm to the Armed Forces, the intelligence services, federal law enforcement, education, and science. 

Is he up to the challenge? His age leaves some doubts. This said, Donald Trump is both immature and senile, which is a dangerous combination. Biden was a competent understudy for an above-average President... without the personal demons that Nixon had. I see Biden as a one-term President due to his age, but I also see him likely to have good people behind him.

I have no doubt that Biden will have his work cut out for him and it's very obvious to me that he's not up for the task and it's also obvious that he's not in the same league as FDR either. It's to bad that you didn't invest more time in building a relationship with Jesus than you invested with the Democratic party, you wouldn't be in need of a Liberal puppet trying to play the role of Jesus on Earth these days.
