Democalypse Now!

Remember the halcyon days of January, 2020, when this deadly coronavirus was nothing more than a "Democratic Hoax"?

Or in the words of some of our nation's brightest pundits, "a political cudgel wielded recklessly to take down a legitimately elected president"?  I'm not sure why 2,000 elderly Italians would willingly give up their life to influence an American election, but OK.

Those were heady times. And if we could just turn on the time machine we could hear the profound sagacious words of our own stable jenius, Donald J. Trump, making political hay at one of his jag-off rallies.

I don't have a time machine so I'll just have to paraphrase. A little.

"If you elect one of those radical socialist Democrats, this country will turn into Venezuela. Do you folks want to live in Venezuela?"

"If Crazy Bernie and his communist pals get into office you're gonna have people wanting free stuff. They'll demand checks from the government. Do you want your hard earned money going to moochers?"

"If you don't vote for me, this miracle economy will come crashing down. Unemployment will skyrocket. And those beautiful 409K plans, oh they're so beautiful, aren't they? They'll all be gone folks. The stock market will be back to where it was under Barak Hussein Obama. Is that what you want?"

"Are we having fun people? (Holding hand to ear) I can't hear you, are we having fun? A Trump rally is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. If you elect a Democrat, all this will be gone. The shelves at the supermarket will be empty. The streets will be empty cause nobody will have a job. You'll be holed up in your homes, scared to see what's gonna happen next. And you wont know. Because the Do-Nothing Democrats wont know. It'll be ugly folks, I'm telling you, it'll be ugly."

As it turns out, we didn't have to wait until November 3rd and his prophesied Democalypse. The doomsday scenario so eloquently painted by Captain Fuckknuckle is here.

Today.

Oh and to top off this dystopia, we also have to wipe down every damned thing we thing we touch with anti bacterial sanitizer that will probably give us hand cancer.

I'm not saying none of this would be happening now if it hadn't been for coronavirus. But it could all be a lot different if we had taken the proper preventative measures.
