so all i can think is, if the facts all point to the fact that he's trying to kill people, when will we face the facts? for a while i said, well it doesn't matter if he's trying to kill them, or if he just doesn't care. either way lots of them will die, who cares what he wants?

but that's how nazi germany happened too. everyone said yes they disappeared and yes that's unacceptable, but in the end, they disappeared, they were killed, somebody had to want it to happen, and it happened. years later, we look at it and say, how could you have let that happen?

but the facts are this: insisting everyone go to school. insisting it be in person. refusing to pay for testing or tracing. putting it all on the states, until the states have no more. withholding funds to those who don't risk their lives. on and on. it doesn't seem like anyone really wants people to live, does it?

if he uses storm troopers to squash demonstrators, he'll use them to prevent voting too. he'll use them for whatever he can get away with. he'll use the army too if he can get away with it. he'll just kill people, if they don't want to die of their own accord.

it's a very divided country; he knows that and he's encouraged that. he has no problem with one side simply killing the other, quick while they have all the guns. if it gets more divided, more violent, more warlike, he figures, bring it on, that can only help him.

those of us who favor democracy have no other choice but to wait for november. by then a lot of people will have died. and the rest will be good and scared, he figures.
