It's rampant leftist lunacy to blame this on anyone BUT the Chinese. But lunatic defines these America hating cunts.

January 11: The CDC issued a Level I travel health notice for Wuhan, Chinahttps://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2001191
First case discovered in the US on January 19th. Arrived on January 15th.
January 20: Dr Fauci announces the National Institutes of Health is already working on the development of a vaccine for the coronavirus
January 31: The Trump Administration:
1. Declared the coronavirus a public health emergency.
2. Announced Chinese travel restrictions

But you are and you have.
That's what BoThSiDeRiSm is.
You've given them the benefit of the doubt about everything, and you refuse to hold them accountable.
Instead, you attack the institution of government instead of the bad actors in it.
Ah, so if they were trying to minimize it because it might affect the election, isn't it possible they are utilizing it to settle political scores and rig the upcoming election by denying mail-in voting? So already, you've admitted they see this pandemic as political. So there's no reason at this point to have an effective federal response because no matter what, it is going to affect the election. So how do you overcome that? By canceling the election.If anything they tried to play it down in order to minimize its effects on the election.
So by not taking this seriously and approaching it as a political problem from the start, you're saying they deliberately lied in order to make themselves look better.When they could no longer ignore the seriousness of its spread they tried to show concern and instituted needed measures.
So you're admitting their response has wholly been for their political interests, not the interests of the people.
So...does that mean that the non-COVID policies could also fall into that bucket too? Like tax cuts, for example?
Like, you can't ignore the seriousness of the tax cuts exploding the deficit and not leading to 3% growth, so why continue arguing in favor of that policy if not for purely political reasons?

Here's what we know:
1. They are going to be blamed for this, no matter what.
2. They have said that mail-in voting would "be devastating" to Conservatives because turnout would increase
3. The last two election cycles (2018 & 2019) saw a flushing of Conservatives from power, and massive popular vote margins against them.
4. Biden and Bernie were both leading Trump in almost every battleground state
5. Because of this bungled response and the impeachment cover-up, the GOP is under serious threat to lose the Senate this fall, with Dems only needing to flip 4 seats among the 23 the GOP are defending.
So when you take all those things into account, how could you not want to cancel the election to remain in power and to avoid accountability.
Remember, the Weimar Republic stood until the Reichstag fire...which was the emergency excuse used by the Nazis to make Hitler Chancellor, and canceling democracy in Germany.

Because he knows it is not a possibility. It would be political suicide--lead to impeachment and conviction, etc.
I don't think Trump and his supporters think he is going to lose. His approval rating is an all-time high (45.4%)["538"] and his numbers vs Democrats has narrowed. As long as they think they can win they are not going to consider anything stupid.
I have been reading about something I have noticed on JPP and other partisans. They all very optimistic about the chances their side will win. Both Democrats and Republicans thought they would gain seats in 2018. Now they are both convinced they will win in 2020.
I found studies which said the most committed partisans (generally the best informed) are the most uninformed about the opposition. Liberals give an hugely exaggerated guess at the number of Republicans who make over $250,000 and Republicans think a much higher percentage of Democrats are gay than there actually are (plus some additional descriptions).

They thought they were going to win in 2018, but that didn't stop them from trying to rig that election.
Trump literally said on TV last week that he opposes mail in balloting because it would lead to higher turnout.
Then David Ralston, the GOP House Speaker here in GA, said the exact same thing.

This has nothing to do with Trump and the Conservatives trying to cancel the election.
They were already caught trying to rig it, and Conservatives let it go unpunished.
So if they didn't remove him for trying to rig the 2020 election, why would they remove him for trying to cancel it? Why wouldn't they try to help him? They've already done so once.

Exonerated is forever.
