    “This is like a story out of the last days of the Soviet Union,” David Frum wrote on Twitter of the NEJM letter. “This is what it means to be a failed state,” wrote the essayist Umair Haque, echoing him. In the absence of an explanation, it is hard to come to any conclusion other than that this is simply mafia government, exerting control for the sake of control, not in spite of but because of the crisis-led demand, and squeezing the American people, as they die in hospital beds and attend — with inadequate protection — to the sick and scared.

    And tens of millions of people will vote for a guy who does that to America. All because he hates the same people they do.

    PS — as I’ve said a gazillion times, I dont have a problem with leftist voting for the ‘lesser evil.’ Thats a reluctant, but strategic and knowing decision. Makes perfect sense.

    But tens of millions of Americans will vote for Trump/Biden/Clinton/Edwards/Gore/Obama/Bush/bush/Reagan/Nixon because…..well you know why. We’ve talkin about the what and why of it since 1998 now. 1998. Or there-abouts.

    Did this Nation ever have a chance to be decent and truly democratic? I dont think so.

    This country was built on slavery and genocide.

    So, nope.

    But I wonder if any country is truly decent. The US became a world power largely because of its size, abundant resources, and the protection afforded by two vast oceans. Most countries don’t impact the planet as much as the US does, but is that because they don’t want to dominate the world or is it simply because they lack the ability to?

    Yeah, you know…stuff like this. This is a straight up Mob move, and nobody cares.

    A couple of months ago, a bunch of politicians made millions on blatantly illegal insider trading information, and nobody cares.

    Exit polls don’t match the results. Nobody cares. Jared and Ivanka are making millions by exploiting their positions in government. Nobody cares.

    Today, a childhood friend of mine told me that Trump may have done things in the past, but he’s changed now, and has been forgiven, just like she has.

    Trump is Marlo. Um…Biden is Stringer Bell?
