It’s depressing to watch Trump transparently set up chloroquine as his winning move for November. It’s a free option for him in a way it isn’t for anyone else. Near-perfect textbook heads I win tails you lose. All the risk is on the doctors figuring out how to use it safely.

Complex systems problems evolve in messy, nearly ungovernable ways. It’s rarely possible to ever sort out the story of how things happened and come to a blame/credit consensus. We’ll be arguing about this history and it’s counterfactuals for decades and still get nowhere.

As I have contended with others, many times, the main issue was to believe the US Constitution & Institutions would shield us against a modern Mussolini / Hitler. And it was a huge mistake, just like back then. It’s a matter of mankind whims & desires, not Constitution.

I also think a generation of civilized humans will spend their lives looking at each person around them, wondering, "was *she* a MAGA"? Like ex-East-Germans.
