In the meantime, I expect at least one well known beloved person to die from COVID, blaming Trump, of course.
And, at least one mass shooting by some psycho wearing a MAGA cap and screaming the N-word.
I agree. The NYT laughably claiming that dead people in the street and burning buildings are no big deal is a tottering step in that direction but it's entirely futile. "If it bleeds, it ledes" goes the saying, and they're stuck in their own addiction for sensationalism.
The problem is, to a very large degree they started this thing themselves and are finding they can't turn it off. That's news to a lot of journalists and editors who really should have known better, but they're equally trapped in an illusion of self-importance. If what I'm praying for happens in November, they're going to be doing some serious dancing but they will never lay the blame on the face in the mirror, where it belongs.
