Better side prevail

Trump’s policies will cause a big increase in the numbers for coronavirus, and guarantee virus hotspots and locations will spread around. He wants schools open with teachers and students in classrooms. He wants businesses to open up as much as possible to bring about an improved economy with lower unemployment. He favors policies of all Republican governors in their states. What will be the results?

Governor Noemi of South Dakota is a Republican. She has approved a gathering of 250,000 people on motorcycles in her state. There will be no requirement for masks, or social distancing. The event is scheduled to last for ten days. The motorcyclists will come to South Dakota from many states. If any of the riders on their way to South Dakota have the virus they will spread it en route. When the event is over and they depart, the numbers with the virus will inevitably increase. They will spread more of the virus on their return trip. That event is the epitome of human stupidity.
Florida, Georgia, and Texas have Republican governors. Those states are among the highest with those having the virus, and dying from it. There is tension in those states between the governors, and the mayors of many cities within the states. The mayors favor precautions to limit the virus.

They have ongoing disputes with their respective governors.

Trump is under the illusion that everyone should like him and appreciate all he has done for businesses, farmers, and those invested in the stock market. He says Joe Biden is one of the radical Democrats, does not believe in the 2nd Amendment, will take away people’s guns, and the most preposterous assertion of his is that Biden is not religious and will hurt God.

Democrats and Republicans have existed since the 19th century. There has always been a back and forth flow one party being in charge, and then the other. One party controls the Executive branch of the Federal government. The other party is the opposition party. There are checks and balances in the American system of government, and keep any party from gaining control. Trump wants everything to go his way. He regards anyone who opposes him as an enemy of the state. He is a tyrant as such. Trump thinks he is the best President ever. Democrats believe he is the worst.

May the better side win on Nov. 3.
