      1. It's hard to overstate how bad things look right now for America being able to get a handle on the pandemic: support for the lockdown is becoming partisan, some state governments are prematurely lifting the lockdown, and outside of NY state it hasn't even peaked yet. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1257302227234033673 …

      2. The botched response to the pandemic is due in large part to Trump, who lacks both the intellectual capacity and empathy that the moment requires. His singleminded focus on trying to preserve the image of a good economy for the sake of re-election has led to disaster

      3. But as so often in the Trump era, the disaster was caused not just by Trump's unfitness but also by the very political system that elevated Trump to a position he is unfit for. There's the failure of the GOP & the bipartisan failure of policy

      4. The GOP failure is a simple one: in their heart everyone in party elite knows Trump is unfit, yet they stuck with him. They had ample means of stopping him, up to and including impeachment & removal. At every step, they sided with him.

      5. The bipartisan failure can be seen by thinking about the vector points where the pandemic is spreading fast: meat packing plants, nursing homes, & prisons. These were tinder boxes long before Trump came to office thanks to deregulation, austerity & bad management.

          How is it that so many Republicans are still claiming they don’t know of anyone personally who’s died, that the only place they have heard about deaths is from the ‘news’. I wonder if, after their protests, they’ll all still be so lucky to know of absolutely no one who’s died.

          We're in a Cold Civil War. Trump and Trump Republicans are one side of it. The rest of the free world, not just other AMERICANS are the other side of it.

          I think the only reckoning we're likely to see is this: The US is a senile giant acting like a man who has gone on an absolute bender, got stabbed at a bar fight and is stumbling home bleeding and limping alone in the dark to die in an alley, whimpering. There will be no end.
