19. Covid-19 is an opportunity

For republicans to take down institutions, consolidate power, etc. it is not a disease that needs curing. I wish people and especially the media would realize this, which they might if any of them read some history. Nothing trump does is new. Yes he’s a bumbling psychopathic criminal idiot but he must know history history because he is following the authoritarian playbook to a T. And has studied Hitler and who else in the world was tutored by evil Roy Cohen. I recently read 1721, about the Boston small pox epidemic. You can see the same politics going on then as now. The same actors, different names. How many years did the media take to call out Trumps lies as lies and not untruths. The media love him. He’s their biggest cash cow ever.
By the way, this is my first post and probably last one too as I have not had an easy time signing in to DU. I click on stay logged in, but it doesn’t keep me logged in. Then when log in next time the password does not work. I try and request a new password it is rejected, over and over. This goes on a half dozen times then finally i get lucky and it lets me make a new password, which works but for only one log in. I doubt I’ll go thru this again. It could take an hour to log in. But I wanted to say I love coming here to DU, as a place to find out important news stories, and I enjoy reading comments to try and learn how people think and feel. I guess I will have to be content to only read DU and not comment. Thanks. Stay safe.
