For the most part, America under Donald Trump’s leadership has offered an object lesson in how not to handle a pandemic. Delay and denial deprived us of any chance of containing the coronavirus’s early spread; impatience and further denial led to a huge second wave of infections. As I pointed out in a previous column, a great majority of U.S. Covid-19 deaths have taken place since April 17, the day Trump tweeted out his support for demonstrators demanding that states end restrictions on high-risk activities. And in America, uniquely among advanced nations, common-sense precautions like wearing face coverings and avoiding large indoor gatherings have become battlefields in the culture war It may take some time before we see the full effects of this abandonment of American workers, but it’s a good bet that we’ll see slowing growth, a surge in evictions and, in general, the kind of mass suffering we managed to avoid in the first round of the Covid-19 crisis. \\\\\Krugman

So, Nazis, racists and white supremacists like Trump because they like the way he supports their Nazism, racism and white supremacy?

I have to say you out did yourself on that one. It was completely nuts-lol. <,Message #179518 from i-node at 8/31/2020 10:49:58 PM >>. But, WHY do Nazis, racists and white supremacists like Trump? Why do I like the music of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young? Intelligent people are able to look objectively at what matters for a given application. I don’t have to agree with their politics to like the music. I wouldn’t focus on the shiny objects.
