The media are awash with prominent intellectuals and journalists proclaiming that what with rampant disease, violent police riots, and a cratered economy this is the end of the Trump presidency.
They are completely wrong. He’s been waiting for this. He now has an opportunity to show all those liberals how to govern in the right — as in extreme right — way.
No federal public health plans: just suck it up and die if you can’t afford to isolate or buy your own ventilator.
No civil rights legislation: just more fire hoses and bullets. Lots more.
No New Deal: just hand over as much government money to the richest as possible.
And the sicker, more racist, and poorer the country becomes, the more excuses Trump has to seize power and concentrate wealth.
No, my dears, the Trump presidency hasn’t ended. In fact, it’s barely begun. He’s eager to show all of us how modern American history should have been done (far) right. And that includes war: Soleimani was just a preview of what’s to come.
He must be defeated in November at the polls.
