A possible scenario for the next few months.

Trump will continue doing everything possible to hamstring America’s response to COVID-19, forcing people to go back to work even as they begin getting sick and dying in numbers that dwarf today’s terrible statistics.

Forcing children to go to school even as they, their teachers and their parents begin getting sick in appalling numbers. Ignoring all advice from scientists and medical experts. Lying constantly in staged events.

If this goes on long enough, society is going to break down in ways that are impossible to predict, and massive civil unrest on a scale we’ve never seen before is a real possibility as people reach a point of sheer desperation.

And the big question in this scenario: what if this is the outcome Trump WANTS? It would give him a perfect excuse for a power grab on a scale never seen before in the US, and save him from the humiliation of being defeated in an election.

Not saying it’s definitely headed this way. But I don’t think it’s impossible.
