I received the following reply on Facebook this morning to a comment regarding the pre-election seating of a supreme court justice:
"There will be no will of the people in this election. Just a bunch of mail-in ballots for corpses sent in to get the almost-a-corpse in office, just so he can resign for Hitlery 2.0."
The scary thing is that this is rather typical of comments I've seen. Where in the world are these people getting their "news" if not from the lips of the president himself? Certainly not from the representatives of both parties in congress. Certainly not from the FBI or from election committees. It is sheer fantasy, flatly contradicted by every knowledgeable party. And yet the idea pops up again and again, repeated with the utter conviction of unassailable ignorance.
Ah, my poor country. Thoughts and prayers.

There are not enough thoughts and prayers to help us at this moment in time.
Mb--I do fear that this is the case. People think that they can elect Biden and suddenly things will be okay. I don't think so. The infection of Trumpism is present and spreading. It is not difficult to imagine widespread violence and rebellion.
