And right on cue this morning Trump is tweeting we might have to postpone the election because it may not be safe to vote because of the pandemic. Wait, the same pandemic he said is going to go away? The pandemic that he's claiming yet again that can be cured by hydroxychloroquine? Trump is already and predictably sewing the seeds to stay in power. Perhaps that was the reason for the "change of tone" the media was so excited about. Can you just imagine the fallout from the press had Obama attempted to stop the 2014 midterms because of Ebola? Of course that's an absurd similarity since there were only four cases in the US as you point out but this much is clear- A narcissistic sociopath, clearly unfit to be dog catcher is getting away with shredding our democracy while the press is duped into breathing a sigh of relief when he changes his tone! The destruction of the United States is happening right before our eyes and the media is an active participant. What happened to the story of Russian bounty on American soldiers? Now Trump is pulling 12000 troops out of Germany. How much is the media going to let President Putin... er Trump get away with?

What frightens me is how a president can allow a pandemic to spread under their watch and still be eligible for re-election.

The institutional failures in this country right now run so deep.
