*Trump Willing to Kill Hundreds of Thousands of Americans in Effort to Win Election.*
20,000 Americans are dying each month from Covid-19 because of the government's totally wrong-headed response. But it could easily go back up to 30,000 a month, as Republicans "reopen the economy" without having prepared to make that safe to do. Meanwhile, the mad killer encourages Americans to stop wearing masks and spread the disease more.
This could add up to more than 200,000 before inauguration day, at which point (assuming the election wasn't rigged and doesn't get overturned) the new president can start adopting the policies known to stamp out Covid-19.
Until that gets done, we are in the position of competing with everyone else to be among the last ones that remain uninfected until herd immunity protects us, perhaps 18 months and 600,000 deaths further along. (Assuming we have around 10% exposure and need 70% for herd immunity.)
The conman is telling his followers to get ready to fight "Antifa". When they do this, naturally there is no sign of "Antifa", and they say "It worked."
The rate of Covid-19 infections in US prisons is increasing rapidly.
These outbreaks tend to include prison thugs, who bring the disease home to their families. That turns the local area into a hotspot.
At an Oñate statue protest in Albuquerque, a right-wing extremists started shooting and wounded a protester. Cops then arrested some of them, suppressing their thuggish nature because the shooters were white.
Organized violent right-wing militias in New Mexico work in cahoots with various groups of official thugs. They refer to each other as allies and protect each other.
One such gang protected the man who shot a protester. A prosecutor seems to have tried also to protect him. Now the forces of law and order face the challenge of defeating those militias, as well as the thugs and officials that protect them.
