Trump tests positive for Covid-19

The triumphal return from hospital may turn out to be the polarising emblem of the election:

The president's intricately choreographed homecoming split America along its normal battle lines.

But a very uneven polarisation.
The number of people who still really support trump is dwindling dramatically.

I would liken Trump to Typhoid Mary - but she didn't know she was infected.

The number of Trump people that have the covid now, we may have to rename it, to "Rep. COVID19"

Either way, the USA is gonna get the president they deserve come elections. You get what you vote for. The world just feels it a pity that the president of a single country can impact us as much as he does.

I agree and I don't agree. Voter manipulation and vote rigging is also real. There is careful planning going on when a leader comes into leadership. These things are planned in very detail on every level you can imagine. There is a good chance he would never have become president. Do they deserve it? Well, that is another question I guess..

Agreed, elections are becoming grey, however at the end of the day millions of Americans voted for the likes of Trump or Biden or Hillary to get them into the final election during primaries. The fact that we are in our second election where neither candidate is actually all that palatable kinda scares me. Perhaps that though is also due to how smearing has escalated over the years. Perhaps a lot more candidates from the past would have looked a lot less rosy had they run against Trump.

Anyways. Little to nothing we can do about it but watch from the sidelines and hope that whomever wins we somehow don't get shafted over the next couple years. I just still find it surreal how pathetic US politics has become and that we have a man like Trump in the white house.

Well he’s decreeing insane policy proposals via Twitter fiat while high on an unstable cocktail of medication, and evidencing a shockingly callous disregard for anyone but himself, all while the GOP pretend nothing is wrong so they can enact their own cruel agenda before he’s voted out. So, business as usual iow

Because it has all come down to money, not politics. It doesn't matter how beneficial your proposed polices might be, how good an orator you are, if you don't have enough money (or have not raised from lobby) to plaster your face all over NYT or WaPo, if you don't have enough money to run smear campaigns about your opponents for months on end, you're never going to make it.

That's also why it has stopped being about the positives of the nominee, but rather about digging as much dirt (and denigrating) on your opponents. The politics, news reporting and general population simply went down the drain with it.

You can still find excellent journalism, but when it doesn't agree with one's worldview then it becomes 'fake news'.

Not discounting the sheer vastness of the nonsense out there, of course. But pretending there aren't still real journalists is silly.

It gives you just that tiny glimmer of hope for humanity.

And if it fits a narrative, the Barr is VERY low:
