Trumpism is an incompetent death cult. While the movement's incompetence (embodied by the inability of many of its worst monsters to keep their jobs long enough to enact their key policies) finally met its match with the pandemic, though.

1/ Image
When the plague started, Trumpism's thought-leaders rushed to advise the elderly voters who constitute its base that they should engage in high-risk conduct:

They insisted that the answer to the plague was for the "free market" to decide which countermeasures would save our lives:

Late last week, the @RIAA sent a legal threat to @github, claiming that the popular (and absolutely lawful) tool #youtubedl (which allows users to download Youtube videos for offline viewing, editing and archiving) violated Section 1201 of the #DMCA.

Even by the heavy-handed standards of the RIAA - a monopolist's "association" dominated by only three members - this was extraordinary. The law in question derives much of its efficacy from its vagueness, which chills software developers from risking its severe penalties.

2/
#DMCA1201 is an "anti-circumvention" law, banning the distribution of tools that bypass "effective means of access control" for copyrighted work, with a $500k fine and a 5-year sentence for a first violation.
