On Earth 2.0 President Hillary Clinton did not cut funding to help us confront a pandemic, we would've taken steps several weeks sooner, the pandemic would've been far better contained, and Fox News would be saying it was all a hoax and the economic downturn was Clinton's fault.
We are a nation capable of governing ourselves in accordance with the realities of the modern world. But we have a political culture in which one of our two major parties refuses to participate in the process of modern governance.
To continue the simulation of Earth 2.0, Fox's attacks on Clinton's "hysterical overreaction to what was ultimately just a new form of flu" drive voters to reject Democrats at the ballot box in 2020. Don Jr wins the WH with massive GOP majorities in both houses.
But really, who am I kidding? There is no President Clinton on Earth 2.0 because she was impeached in 2018 for her emails, and it's President Kaine who limps into the 2020 election, hamstrung by how effectively his administration responded to the coronavirus challenge.
