Yeah, disturbing times on so many levels .......
This morning my NYT news feed was full on hammer home the "dire consequences" aspect of the pandemic. The left is struting a nearly 10 point lead for Biden over Trump with < 30d until the general. Pretty sure they want to put the final nail in Trump's coffin to insure he has no leg to stand-on to contest the outcome.
As if adding fuel to the election fire that's already engulfed Trump and is rising furiously to engulf vulnerable GOP Senators, the NYT is huffing and puffing over Trump getting discharged from the hospital, "over the objections of medical experts," (I've really not heard or read about his medical team saying that) proceeding to the WH, deplaning from Marine One on the front lawn, WIHTOUT A MASK, continuing to display his "complete disregard" for the virus that has marked his approach to it since February. Then follows a list of all the data points I repeatedly call out to dispute their interpretation to make their point, "lest we forget the toll of human suffering this president has brought us."
Right.
Look, the pandemic is real but there are so many great stories out there about how it is being faced and managed that these stories aren't front page disturbs me more than the dire consequences harangue constantly streaming from every broadcast and social media source available. The good stories are getting downed out in a dangerous way. Sickening.
I'm looking forward to a landslide Biden win to shut up the NYT and the rest of the fucks that fall in line with them and their COVID BS. Even if I really don't think a Biden/Harris presidency is that great, the lying and counter lying, manipulations of the facts and truth have to stop. I Can't wait for January 3rd, assuming America hasn't disintegrated into chaos and civil unrest by then, when the bad news about COVID will suddenly and miraculously change to good news.
Meanwhile and along the way, the system of the American government's checks and balances is going to be mightily tested. I've read a couple of commentaries from noted historians that a lot is at stake in a pivotal moment for democracy as America has defined it on the global stage for 200 years. It's hard to even contemplate that it could fail. But fail it could and Jon Stewart Mill wrote about that potential in "On Liberty" where he famously described the "Tyranny of the Majority." Another seminal piece on the dangers inherent in democracy was published in 2015 by P.J. Deneen, "Tranquility, Tyranny, and Despotism in Democracy: Remembering Alexis de Tocqueville." I'll be brushing up on those thoughts found in both publications.
