You 2 are waaaay too confident. You seem all too ready to underestimate the ignorance and hatred of the voting public and the skill and determination of Ruskie hackers.

Quote:I can see your point. Republicans, and even Democrats, are NOT acting as if Trump is obviously crazy. They will probably vote as if this is an ordinary sporting contest between two teams. Tens of millions don't have a strong enough opinion about Trump's insanity to go to the bother of voting.

Many Democrats act as if Trump is only mildly peculiar: More than 2,000 people have already died and Anthony Fauci estimated this morning that the final death toll would be 100-200,000. In the midst of this, Trump is busy insulting the CEO of GM; fighting with governors he doesn’t like; dithering about the Defense Production Act; declining to bother with a plan to tell manufacturers of medical goods where to ship their stuff; explicitly warning that people have to treat him nicely or they won’t get any federal assistance; claiming that he’s going to quarantine New York and then backing off; lying endlessly about the state of testing; and now bragging about the ratings of his press briefings.
From any other human being on the planet this would be considered deranged behavior. Can you imagine what we’d be saying if it were Saddam Hussein bragging about his TV ratings in the middle of a pandemic? But from Trump it’s just normal.

The missing six weeks: how Trump failed the biggest test of his life
The president was aware of the danger from the coronavirus – but a lack of leadership has created an emergency of epic proportions
When the definitive history of the coronavirus pandemic is written, the date 20 January 2020 is certain to feature prominently. It was on that day that a 35-year-old man in Washington state, recently returned from visiting family in Wuhan in China, became the first person in the US to be diagnosed with the virus.
On the very same day, 5,000 miles away in Asia, the first confirmed case of Covid-19 was reported in South Korea. The confluence was striking, but there the similarities ended.
In the two months since that fateful day, the responses to coronavirus displayed by the US and South Korea have been polar opposites.
One country acted swiftly and aggressively to detect and isolate the virus, and by doing so has largely contained the crisis. The other country dithered and procrastinated, became mired in chaos and confusion, was distracted by the individual whims of its leader, and is now confronted by a health emergency of daunting proportions.

Fwiw I read that South Korea was widely criticized for it's poor response to the Ebola scare, and that was a big reason why their response to c-19 was so aggressive.
I don't blame Trump - he's a f*cking idiot.

So...
Question: Who believes that China has only had 82,198 cases and after the 3,308 deaths and 75,923 people recovered they only have 2,967 people in the entire country still infected?
Answer: Nobody. Nobody in the entire world believes that.
China is even more full of shit than Second is.

I'll say this about the elections G. Soon enough we'll see the airwaves full of Trump videos. All the lies and all the fuckups. Trump saying, I never said that, and then him saying it.
Like the Coronavirus is fake news; a hoax. Like he never disbanded Obamas pandemic committee, then him explaining why he did it. At which point we'll have tens of thousands dead and dying. God help us, perhaps a hundred thousand or more. I'm hearing now best case is 1 to 2 hundred thousand dead. Holy shit G, holy shit.
tick tock G tick tock
