COVID-19 is the perfect 4T event?

These days, the people tend to vote themselves into oligarchy and/or tyranny. Witness Poland today. Witness the USA in 2016 and 2000.

Often times the oligarchy/tyranny cheats. But often enough, cheating only happens because the peoples' votes are close enough so the outcome can be cheated. Witness 2000. 537 votes was not so hard to get through cheating.

In Venezuela, Maduro just jails his opponents. In the US, voting rolls are purged. Whatever works for the tyrants.

Good chart, Rags.

OK. I really have a distaste for obvious hypocrisy. Of course any country which is not a threat to the US, like Venezuela should be left alone. These stupid sanctions we bandy about only hurt the populations. The proper action is to do nothing, and if we don't like country X, then just don't trade with them or dish out foreign aid. The other problem is neither of them is supporting Medicare for all. Team D hands out a few crumbs to the working/middle class, while team R is all about arbeit macht frei. Folks who have pre existing conditions should be paid to stay home while our virus policy is basically herd immunity.  "Herd" is correct since team R thinks folks who get a paycheck are "herd" animals. Example, Trump makes meat packing plants "strategic while doing zilch, nada, nunca, null.nil for folks who work there. With all that said, I'll take the Zombie over the Mad Man.  What a shitty choice.

Zombie over the Mad Man, ha ha. I think the public option that Biden wants is much better than nothing, but unless we get a Democratic senate willing to bash through the filibuster, we won't even get that. We didn't even get the public option through a 60-vote Democratic majority Senate in 2009.

The Mad Man only cares about boosting his poll numbers, which he thinks getting the economy going will do. He doesn't care about the people, except his own oligarchy class.
