What makes 2020 election different than 2020
The Good:
* Everyone goes into it knowing Trump could win
*No one can argue Trump will mature into the role of president
*His schtick is not only tiresome, it's scary
*All he knows is how to run against. Now he has to defend.
.../1
...
*His free TV of acting crazy is no longer clownish, but threatening
*There arent decades of GOP demonization of Biden.
*Trump has no simple insults of Biden
*Misogyny plays less of a role
*Everyone knows what Russia is doing

The Bad:
*GOP has perfected voter suppression../2
...
*White surpremacists, racists and neo-nazis now know beyond doubt that he is their man, so they not only will vote in huge numbers, but will be armed if he loses
* Trump is using the White House to undermine the vote.../3
...
* The @USPS is being undermined to both slow the vote and make people less confident their vote will be counted.
*Russians have perfected pushing disinformation and it will keep coming, potentially worsen..../4
...notice, damaging things to Trump are about him, his incompetence, & broader public recognition of the threat he poses. Most everything that is harmful to defeating him is about impediments to voting.

Before I get back to work this evening, a caution: Experts tell us we have an extremely high likelihood of experiencing an explosion of COVID in late fall, winter. Our leaders are still stupid. Too many fellow citizens are uninformed. And many smart folks are getting careless...1
...people are tired of lockdown. That's what happens the need for long-term planning is sacrificed on short-term desire. We could have had this controlled in late May, but our president is a moron and too many of us are immature and stupid.

Now, let me throw out a number...2
...we are currently projected to have 400,000 deaths on January 1. The total number of American deaths from the 1918 flu - for the entire time - was 675,000. And if we manage to only be at 400,000, thats the time when the experts are predicting we will be in the middle...3

Let's pretend the propagandists are right & Trump didn't go to Aisne-Marne because of dangerous weather.

Ok, the first 2 pargaphs of the Atlantic story are now cut. (Not because theyre not true, because lets rob them of their talking points.) What remains? Let's begin../1
...he didnt know who the good guys were in WWI, didn't understand why we'd support the allies (as opposed to his policy, which is to support the enemy).

Next paragraph. He said this publicly.../2
...next paragraph, he did this publicly...

I don't know what possibility is more horrible: That the @WhiteHouse and @POTUS lie so readily, that theyre so stupid they don't know basic national security info, or both.

ISIS (the Islamic State) has committed 570 attacks in 2020 alone. They even blew up a maternity ward...
...in Kabul a couple of months ago. Since @POTUS & @WhiteHouse first declared "victory" ISIS (or ISIL or Daesh or IS - I give the alternative names because our intel tends to use ISIL or Daesh, so maybe Trump & WH are too stupid to know that's ISIS) has attacked 2,699 times...
...in fact, while these morons @POTUS and @WhiteHouse are proclaiming victory, ISIS attacks are growing massively - they almost doubled from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2020....
