What's next for America? Nov 2020
Comments
-After Biden was declared the victor in the US 2020 Presidential Election
"Joe Biden has defeated Donald Trump. Millions across the country are applauding the downfall of a president who has been mendacious in his public communications, loathsome in his personal conduct, and utterly inept in his handling of a pandemic that has killed 230,000 Americans."
-The Guardian Source
After bitterly divided election, what's next for America?
Nov 9th, 2020 Source
"[He who shan't be named], the inglorious captain of this sinking ship, has revealed the United States' flaws, which can never be un-seen. In America—a nation that is supposed to be a global leader—this year has been a raging dumpster fire, stoked by the whims of a raging narcissist of a president, a man with the emotional intelligence of a spoiled kindergartner. Over 70 million people still voted for -- or didn't care enough to vote against -- Trump's cruelty. America is broken and it needs to be fixed."
-Luvvie Ajayi Jones
"For no matter their politics, the American people can stomach only so much of an indecent fellow. Deep within us is an abiding sense that our leaders ought to reflect the values we hope to teach our children. And while some may still be blinded and trapped within his cult of personality, most Americans know that Trump isn't a decent man."
-George Takei
"For the past four years, I have been holding my breath, in a defensive crouch and bracing for the worst. I've expected some fresh horror, embarrassment or trauma to find its way onto one of my screens, and it's been exhausting."
- Baratunde Thurston
"America cannot pretend that the last four years never happened. [We must] Close the loopholes, codify the checks and balances, reform the election process, dam the flood of dark money and foreign influence. Return elections to policies, not personalities."
-Garry Kasparov
"In 2020, decency was on the ballot, and more Americans voted to defend it than have voted for any candidate in history. The election shone a spotlight on the polarization, distrust and enmity toward neighbors and fellow citizens that have defined these last four years."
-Mandy Patinkin
"Election campaigns, even in the calmest of times, shine a white-hot light on division."
-Sean Penn
"Our political system, as starkly revealed by the 2020 presidential election, can neither save nor heal us. We are standing as a people in what Quaker elder and activist Parker Palmer calls the Tragic Gap—the gap between corrosive cynicism and irrelevant idealism, between the way things are and the way we know they might be."
-Ashley Judd
"America has resoundingly chosen truth over lies, inclusion over exclusion, science over ignorance, faith over fear, compassion over cruelty, respect over ridicule, love over hate, substance over style, selflessness over self-dealing, freedom over oppression, unity over division and a global outlook over myopia."

Political commentary -2017
There comments were garnered way back in 2017- the first year of Trump's Presidency
Question
Trump voters only: What is the best thing Donald Trump has done as president?
Answer
He exposed just how many mentally deficient and sociopathic people live in this country from both sides of the spectrum. Didn't realize how many empty vessels walked the earth until 2016 lol.
-James Bartolommeo
The dangerousness of a hollow man.
>> Dunning-Kruger effect, the phenomenon in which the incompetent person is too incompetent to understand his own incompetence... Details >
I do think Fox News has dumbed down half the country...and that cable news and social media has sort of created echo chambers where people hear only what they want to...all of that contributes. But this is indeed the first time in my life that I thought, wow, America is really a country full of stupid people.
- Jonathan Widran
Some people were born with a low IQ and some just develop one from watching FOX news.

The difference between the late '60s and today, is that for the past 30 years, right wing talk radio has enveloped pretty much all of talk radio. And when even halfway intelligent people are subjected to hours daily of hearing what is basically Goebbels on steroids, the same distorted points & lies, incessantly repeated, 24/7, all across America, they become brainwashed, period. No matter how big or outlandish the lies, when they are drummed into people's heads, they replace, and become "reality".
That Goebbels, using only speeches, newspapers, and a handful of propagandist films, could brainwash all of Germany enough to support a madman as Hitler, it's no wonder 60 million voted for Trump.... As to who there may be to stop this madness, I'm with you Jason, I don't see him, and worse, if he did exist, and begin to turn things around, I'm afraid even the Secret Service wouldn't be able to protect him....
“It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise.” . . . - Josef Goebbels. Principles of Propaganda >-Steven Charles
"Fear is the mind-killer. And Trump got elected on anger and fear. And you cannot laugh and be afraid at the same time. So let’s go make people laugh, and then they’ll be able to think. That’s the value of what we do.”
-Stephen Colbert
Facts are the GOP's kryptonite.
- Peter Adams
I don't believe it is a dictatorship...it's more like a crime family.
-Jason Miles
The man [Trump] doesn't even recognize basic truth. He lives and believes his own lies. The country is in for a very hard time internationally and domestically.
- Eric Forman
The results of: media propaganda, omitting Civics from the educational system, the replacement of real news and facts, with opinions and ideologies, citizens united, corporate lobbyist, the use of racism as a tool to divide the people, other methods that continue to dumb down the populace, Supreme Court and the Electoral College selling out the country...
-Aaron Johnson
Basically we are dealing with chaos at the crossroads of Pathological destruction and pure Greed. These guys are going to poison our lives while grabbing as much as they can for themselves over the next four years .

Erasing Obama Legacy (at all costs...)
"Barack Obama faced three potential pandemics in his eight years in office, plus he had the annual flu epidemics to contend with but he never had to shut the entire country down and here’s why…
· He realized that viral contagion was a looming threat, so he increased funding for the Pandemic Task Force, originally formed under President George W Bush.
o Reporting to the National Security Council and operating under the direction of the CDC, it had field offices manned by doctors and scientists in countries all around the world, including China.
o They worked closely with the WHO in locating any outbreaks and attacking them at their source. The idea was to catch these epidemics early and contain them before they could spread worldwide and become a pandemic.
o It was working… The deadly Ebola virus was contained to Africa and only a few cases ever made it to the US.
· Trump, in his first year in office went on a vindictive rampage against the previous administration, ripping up anything with Obama's name on it.
o It was like he was trying to erase Obama’s name from the history books.
o The ACA, (Obama Care) NAFTA, TPP, the Iran deal, the Paris Accords and oh yeah... Obama’s Pandemic Task Force. Trump defunded and dismantled it. He fired its director Rear Admiral Timothy Ziemer. All the top doctors and scientists resigned and were never replaced.
o He closed most of the field offices including the one in China.
o Trump publicly announced at the time “I’m a businessman, I don’t like people sitting around with nothing to do.” So he cleaned house and fired everybody…
· Then Trump’s attack on everything Obama backfired... the Wuhan epidemic blew up in his face.
o In early January 2020 the WHO, the CDC and his own intelligence agencies all briefed Trump that he had a potential global pandemic developing in China… but he had just shut down the only agency equipped to manage such a emergency so he ignored their warnings.
o Later in January he restricted travel from China but it was already too late… The virus had by now spread to several countries outside of China. So he dodged and delayed and denied it for 70 days while the Wuhan flu exploded into a full-blown, world-wide pandemic.
· March 2020…
o COVID19 hit the US and Trump could no longer dismiss it as a “Democrat hoax.” People were dying at an alarming rate.
o He still didn’t have the tools to battle this fast moving virus so he blamed Barack Obama… “Obama left me with a broken system” Pretty disingenuous coming from the guy who broke it.
In Summation
The ineffective response to the coronavirus pandemic can be traced directly back to Donald Trump’s malicious attacks on Barack Obama.
· These are verified facts… Every name, date and detail can easily be fact checked.
· I urge that you do… This is how we got here.

Donald Trump is a mass murderer and a con man - anyone who is still defending him is not only delusional - they are complicit in his crimes. WAKE UP AMERICA!
