Another good question they would be the answer to is “how can we create the emotional climate necessary to sow deep and lasting divisions in American society, and in particular, how can we reseparate the black community from the Republicans?”
I will note that in Detroit, and Chicago, and Baltimore, and Louisville most of the black folks have not worked in three months, or not worked steadily. Democrats cheer this, albeit not honestly and directly, by telling us that this lockdown should last, well, just short of forever, and at least until the election. In my experience, they get angry both at good news and at suggestions for better ways of dealing with this that don’t involve forcing people who don’t want to to wear masks. They don’t want good news. They don’t want ideas. They want JUST WHAT WE HAVE.
That most of those proposing this are not themselves suffering in any ways I will say, even though it should not need to be said.
Ponder in this regard billionaire “champions of the working class and minorities” like Bill Deblasio and ostensibly Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos. They don’t have a clue, and they don’t care. The math is to figure out what needs to be said to who, in order to achieve political aim X. That’s it. It’s cynical top to bottom. Evil might be a better word. People of the lie.
