Sarah Kendzior: The war is on us, on fellow Americans, on everyone in the world. Everyone knew about this virus back in Jan; we saw the efforts to contain it in Wuhan; we saw the devastation in Iran, and Italy.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: This is a man & an administration that wants Americans to die. A de-populated country is easier to control. That's why they made no effort to contain it till it had run rampant.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior:I'm very, very strongly in the Stay Home camp. If you do go out, follow the guidelines--stay 6 ft away from everyone else, wash your hands & sanitize surfaces. You could walk around as a disease vector & infect those who are vulnerable
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: What I worry about is that the Trump will, of course, exploit this situation. I wonder who they will label "diseased," whether or not they have the virus. The Chinese, the migrants.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: Since this is not an admin that cares about truth, they will make things up to cancel elections or postpone them indefinitely.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: I don't know if this virus conveniently appeared and they chose to take advantage of it. It's important to look at the core group of who remains from the original group at the WH--they're the ones who are in charge of the coronavirus
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: None of Trump's core has any medical training; they don't care about people; they're trying to bring on The Rapture & rule over the ruins. If the people would just die off & get out of the way, that's their ideal situation.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: This is what I predicted years ago; it's now come to pass. There's no clear road ahead. Will we have free & clear elections? How long will the virus last? Will we have supplies?
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: Trump has also been purging our intelligence agencies, our military; he encourages the most brutal behavior possible--that's why he kept pardoning war criminals & rewards them for their crimes. It's a whole cultural shift.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: NYT, Fox News, sometimes the Washington Post have written puff pieces, touted the Nazis...
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: Russia has its own issues with coronavirus, & they've been trying to cover it up, much like Trump & Iran did. I think in Trump's case they could have stopped the spread if they'd wanted to...but they didn't. Same with Russia, I think
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: There have been weather disasters like hurricanes, or mass shootings, but those are localized. Now w/ the virus, we're going through an experience we'll all suffer through first hand, w/ our country & w/ the world.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: The GOP is willing, at times, to throw money at people when we don't need it (like Geo. W) but now we do need it. I don't know what they're worried about w/ public perception since they haven't cared since 2016.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: I think we're about to find out who the Trump core, the inner circle, thinks is disposable b/c they're the ones who will get the coronavirus.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: However we come out of this crisis, however it ends, we'll either have full fascism where we've lost all our freedoms, or a lot of these structural inequalities will need to be addressed.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior:Having no way to get by, & sharing that desperation, is a widespread way of seeing what we've been living with since 2008. They'll finally need to listen to the people who've been suffering since 2008; hopefully it'll be a better world
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Rick: I have to have some hope that we'll have people joining unions, that people will organize, like they did during the Great Depression. I have to hold out hope that things will get better.
Sarah Kendzior: The law is not hard & fast, which is what people should have learned from the Trump admin, with all the rules he & his admin broke.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: We need to have paper ballots & mail-in ballots, & it needs to be nationwide by Nov. Don't tell me there's no time to do it b/c there is. Lots of people are stuck home w/ no work--hire them to help out.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: We'll have to rely on distance learning & distance communication, at least for a while, but hopefully it won't be exploited. Hopefully the internet will be what it was meant to be, to open up possibilities all over the world.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: I don't want online schools to be permanent after this--I want my kids to go to school.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: I don't think Italy is making these choices lightly on who to save--their system is overloaded. In the US, they knew Americans wouldn't get tested b/c of the cost, so they said the gov't would pay.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Rick: This is a great argument for Medicare for All--then people wouldn't hesitate to get tested if they thought they were sick. #RickShow
Sarah Kendzior: This reminds me of climate change--there's no way these people think it doesn't exist. They're applying the same logic to the virus, crashing & monetizing the system. If they're saying it's a hoax, it's b/c they want you to get infected.
@sarahkendzior
Sarah Kendzior: There are longer-term plans in the works. I feel they have long-term ambitions & part of that is having large parts of America die off. I don't know what would happen if people would get sick at Trump rallies.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation
Sarah Kendzior: Don't go to rallies. Don't go to concerts. Stay home!
