Again. Please listen.

Donald Trump isn’t president to help anyone. He’s not interested in saving lives or marshaling resources to fight a pandemic.

Donald Trump is president to deal a death blow to government as an obstacle to overt corruption and obscene profit. That’s it. https://twitter.com/AP/status/1258355939280814080
Trump and authoritarians like him will never protect their people in a crisis. Crises are opportunities for grift and profit and further erosion of political and social trust and oversight.

Successfully fighting the pandemic isn’t a priority. Using it while lying about it is.
People need to disabuse themselves of the notion that leaders of a country are just inherently concerned with their country’s wellbeing.

People like Trump and Putin view nations as outdated notions and use them as objects of plunder and vehicles for profit. That’s all.
Hypercapitalism and globalism destroyed the notion of nations in general and vaporized any idea of the nation as existing as a way to improve the lives of its people.

We’re still holding onto that outdated concept and Trump and others are using to their advantage.
Any concern by Trump or these post-political authoritarians regarding the lives of their peoples is unfortunately an illusion meant to continue the myth of actual government as being for the people.

It’s a movement to destroy government forever. That’s what we’re watching.
