The Weimar Republic came into existence after the post WW1 German leftist ‘revolution’ was put down by the Friekorps. A feckless liberal government with no mandate by the people, held together tenuously by various business interests, eventually gave way to a far right demagogue because the interests of capital will always side with authoritarianism rather than cede money and power to the people.
OP is right. We are Weimar Germany. Can’t wait until the rest of our liberal institutions crumble from years of turning their back on the working class, and people turn to a far right demagogue who promises them to return America to its former glory through racism and nationalism. Trump is just the beginning.

I drive by this nursing home a couple times a month. 22 dead from corona.
That must be a horror show for the staff and other residents there, that many deaths from something they're all exposed to in such a short time period. There will be a lot of PTSD when this is over, for a variety of reasons.
I think in MA it's now pushing 60% of deaths are in nursing homes and long term care facilities.
They had 20 national guard guys dressed like astronauts go in and do testing at one of the facilities. Turns out they ended up bringing the virus into the place and causing an outbreak that led to deaths., so that method seems to have stopped.
I'm surprised prisons aren't getting hit harder, the deaths seem fairly low but who knows how they're treating the sick. Right now it seems pretty consistent that age and obesity are the most common risk factors.
Somehow my 91 year old great aunt (I've never met her) in a nursing home with COPD and congestive heart failure is diagnosed with it and seems to have beat it pretty easily, while my 30 year old healthy cousin did 6 nights in a hospital and still can barely walk/breathe 6 weeks after being diagnosed.

Trump wont let anyhing bad happen, be's doing his best and his best is doing a good job considering the circumstances. Couple more weeks and we're all going back to work like this never happened. Hoping they keep the lines to get into grocery stores, though. Its pleasant not shopping in a crowded Costco.
Keep your chin up boys and dont do drugs or drink to much. Exercise , eat healthy and sleep early. We are fine!

Most Americans are against reopening. Me, I just wish the bar was open. I have only one person to hang out with after working 50 something hours every week. We are definitely doing too much drugs, but it's a drug that makes you drink less, so it's kind of a health drug.

That article references a study that has not even gone through peer review. Matter of fact, it wasn't even tested. It's based entirely on a computation model that has yet to be confirmed via experimentation, and the computational model itself has yet to undergo peer review.

Yeah this is a perfect example of how dangerous downplaying this virus is. And 8f yoh listen to what he's saying it's okay because Trump said it's okay.

Nobody is going to wait for peer review. This life and death, not academia. It involved teams at three high level research centers. They analyzed data on thousands of RNA sequences of the virus and concluded that it's mutating, and the mutation is making it more virulent. That has probably dire consequences for the creation of a vaccine.
Any study can only provide a piece of the puzzle. Not all biological research is experimental. I find your comments puzzling.

If his opponent did not exclusively need a drool cup, I would agree with you.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

He does need a drool cup. But nobody is going to blame the deaths or economic collapse on him, and both of those are going to get a lot worse. Maybe the former and definitely the latter will go on for years.

We will see my friend, whatever the outcome, this will be one of the stupidest and ill elections in my lifetime. The base of support for both seem to have become caricatures of themselves. Im fired up for Biden. Oh wait, here comes Trumpy! The denouement is paralyzing suspense.
