Amazing American Apathy

As of Thursday February 27, 2020 it was reported that the world wide number of coronavirus cases had reached 83,910 while the highly contagious disease has caused 2,872 deaths. Currently 55-countries have confirmed coronavirus cases and experts of infectious disease warns of a high pandemic probability.

The American population is receiving mixed messages as the CDC (Center for Disease Control) warns of a likely significant outbreak of the disease in the United States and the Trump administration understates the coronavirus potential impact. It is apparent that President Trump is more concerned about falling stock market numbers versus escalating virus numbers. Attempting to appear concerned about the coronavirus, Trump appointed Vice President, Mike Pence to be the Coronavirus Czar. Pence is not qualified for the position but few of Trump's appointees have been qualified. Highly regarded immunologists, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Disease is the medical expert assigned to tracking the coronavirus in America. That said, Dr. Fauci must not issue any public statements without first reporting to Vice President Pence who would grant him permission to speak. Trump must control information Americans get.

Readers: I have stated in previous blogs that our once 'free' America is tumbling towards a Fascist leadership under Trump. Now you can bury your head in the sands of denial but that only makes you a fool and unpatriotic. Check off the characteristics below.

                                                  Fascist Leadership Characteristics

 1. Embraces Nationalism (Trump said, "I'm a Nationalist.")
 2. Disregard for human rights. (Trump separates illegal immigrant children from parents and holds them in cages.)
 3. Widespread sexism....a Trump staple.
 4. Control Mass Media ( Refers to media as "Fake News" and Now tells Doctor to clear virus messaging through his VP).
 5. Religion & government intertwined. (Trump has hoodwinked the Evangelicals with bogus claims.)
 6. Identify enemies as a unifying cause.(Trump claims Mexicans are thugs, rapists, murderers. Says brown-skin people from Haiti and Africa come from "shithole countries."
 7. Patriotic slogans. (Trump pontificates Make America Great Again, which is code for white superiority.)
 8. Abortion & homosexuality suppressed. (See #5)
 9. Military is glamorized (Trump has Military Parades like China, Russia, France and North Korea.)
10. Attacks all liberal views.
11. Panders to  popular religion to use as a tool to manipulate public opinion.
12. Protect Corporate Power (Trump's tax cuts)
13. Suppress Labor
14. Disrespect for intellectuals and higher education.
15. Overlook police abuse.
16. Cronyism & corruption (Numerous indictments & criminal convictions in Trump administration).
17. Fraudulent elections. (We've already had one in 2016 and were about to have another in 2020.)
18. Disparages other government officials (Trump at every opportunity has disparaged the government's Intelligence Agencies, which protect our people. He had criticized our Judicial system and judges.)

If you are a one issue voter focused on money or  right to life or the second amendment,  lots of luck having any rights and freedoms under a Fascist dictatorship.
