This thing has ‘tentacles’; Election this year, census, hostile congress to the president, etc. The chances for politicians to incite social disorder is quite large, IMHO.
Indeed, there’s a lot more to consider than just the virus, and IMO, the looming election is one of them.
I do not see a good outcome no matter who gets elected.
If Trump wins again, I see repeats plus some, of what happened in 2016.
If, God forbid, a democrat socialist gets elected, kiss this country goodbye and be ready for Venezuela type scenarios.
I recognize that there is no way someone can prep for a lifetime survival of like the next 20 years, but if everyone had enough stuff for a few months, it would take a lot of pressure off the system and the glitches and bumps would not have such a major impact with others, who are not prepared and panicking.
Yup.
I expect shenanigans over this.
I expected them anyway this year because, election.
I expect them to be even more shenaniganny now.
