Trump and Republicans across the United States are taking advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic that they have exacerbated to weaken democratic institutions, throw elections into chaos (Wisconsin), threaten your mail (see Trump’s “no aid for the Postal Service), bludgeon international organizations (Trump tries to scapegoat the WHO instead of admit his culpability), further stack courts with unqualified or downright partisan judges with no interest in progressing our country, and further gut environmental protections among a host of sins.
The house is on fire (climate change), the guests are dying (COVID-19 – currently…climate change is gonna make this look like a walk in the park), and the hosts are assuring everyone all is well while swindling them for all they are worth. And to add to the misery they’ve stopped up the chimney so no one can see anything because of the smoke.
I was looking forward to lunch and a strong drink at the Spoon…when it rains it pours.
