    As if the coronavirus lockdown and the masks weren't retarded enough as it were already, now it gives violent rioters cover. Lmao. Our government is the $#@!ing worst in every conceivable way possible.

    Of course not. Like I said, they are more concerned with alienating the black vote than they anything else.

    We f....d up this situation like no other country.

    We have 4% of the world's population and 28% of the world's COVID-19 deaths.

    We got a chaotic, disorganized, heterogeneous lockdown that solved little, and we are coming out of it no better off, while many other wiser countries did it in a more organized and homogeneous manner, and came out of it licking the virus and getting it under control.

    We destroyed our economy in the process and threw 15%+ of our working population into unemployment, while many other wiser countries supported payrolls better and came out of it with minimum impact in unemployment rates.

    With frustrations, divisiveness, us vs. them mentality, class and race divisiveness, and tensions running high, we are devolving into utter chaos with riots, looting, arson, and violence.

    OH. MY. GOD.

    If we gave to a brainstorming group the task of coming up with a recipe for screwing up, they'd have a hard time getting to anything worse than what we're seeing.

    At this point, I think we should fire our entire political class. All senators, all House representatives (federal and state assemblies), governors, mayors, president, everybody, both parties (they are all rotten). We should get all those idiots out and vote for whoever opposed them for some new blood, and restart from scratch.

    Will it happen? Of course not. We'll remain divided; we'll continue to bicker and to be at each other's throats, while our country sinks into such a deep hole, that recovery will be utterly difficult if not impossible.

    By the time we hopefully emerge from this hole, other wiser countries will have occupied the leadership vacuum, and our stance in the world will be irreparably damaged.

    Only if they didn't have Democrats as part of the answer.
