It is you guys, led by the Liar in Chief, the fake president, who are whipping this hysteria up so that this tyrant can get himself re-elected because the economy is rebounding. Failing that, he will use you guys, with guns in hand, to carry out a coup attempt on Jan.20, 2021.

I'm not financed by anyone. Dude, the Democrats are the ones whipping up hysteria to gain power. See, the truth comes out of your mouth every now and then without you knowing it. It's not in your interest to have a economic rebound and things getting back to normal come fall. You don't think we know that and understand what the liberals are up to? As I mentioned before, I don't live in Minneapolis or St Paul and I'm not reliant upon either of them. What will we do when they're broke and there's a bunch of rioting. We'll arm up which will be new and then  go around them like we usually do. Like I've said, the Democratic governors better start showing the American voters that they care about them and get the lead out.

To the extent that you join with these ridiculous, gun totin' protesters shouting "freedom" to oppose the precautions and shutdowns to address the virus, you are being financed by Betsy and other right-wingers. You are rallying with them, even if only in writing, and you can do that thanks to the right-wing oligarchs who finance right-wing rebellions. They are the ones whipping up hysteria, because THAT is who are hysterical right now.

Liberals would like to see Trump gone, true. But it's our belief that Trump's policies are causing the virus to explode and persist. Trump's attempts to open the economy too soon will backfire, causing cases and deaths to rise again, and that means the economy will not recover in time for the election. Trump is digging his own grave the more he refuses to provide national testing and tracking. We liberals don't want people to die because of a fake president. 

The Democratic governors are the ones doing the work, but they don't have the financial freedom to create money. Only the feds can do that. So governors, including responsible Republican ones, can only do so much. Their approval ratings are skyrocking while Trump's are stuck at 44%. Trump is putting the burden upon the governors at his own possible expense for November. We would rather that he take proper actions, but he doesn't seem capable of this. He has stopped the aid that was voted by congress unanimously from going to the small businesses that need it.

There are silver linings to the virus. Perhaps more attention will come to the dangers and ethical wrongs of live animal markets, which we have in the USA too, and they will be shut down; along with increased concern for the environment and animals rights generally. Pollution and CO2 are decreasing. There's less traffic on the streets, and more people are out jogging while they work at home. "We're all in this together" is heard everywhere, helping Americans to re-learn this truth which is basic to the Democratic Party and to a healthy functioning nation, but which has been forgotten since Reagan. And stress is being put on Trump, which he can never handle well. All he can do is stir up divisions and put out false optimism. So, perhaps that will end up as a silver lining too, because nothing would be better for the health and prosperity of the nation than his removal from office.
