America: Be Prepared
We all have our ways of expressing what an abject disaster 2020 has been; I happen to admire whomever decorated this road sign to make his point.
In truth, of course, it’s possible that 2021 will be even worse. In particular, the damage that Donald Trump has done to the United States in his first term will be pale in comparison to what we can expect if we’re stupid and greedy enough to hand him a second term, one in which the Supreme Court has been packed with conservatives, the senate remains committed to its subservience, the “justice department” functions as his personal law firm, and the country’s response to the pandemic remains in disarray.

The core reason, of course, is certainty and predictability. Trump by nature is impulsive and erratic; he’s a man whose decision-making is rooted solely in what he happens to perceive to be good for him in that very moment of time. 
Here’s a good 
Here’s an interesting way of putting the whole thing about Trump and racism.
In large measure, these times here in the United States are defined by an astonishing level of selfishness.
