I began a recent post Eric Trump Appeared on Fox News–Like There Was an Alternative? with this: Eric Trump suggested on Fox News Saturday that Democrats are “milking” coronavirus lockdowns in order to “deprive” his father President Trump of campaign rallies and hurt him in November’s election.

Please take a few seconds and watch this short but extraordinary video featuring a bear and a road cone. Then ask yourself how it’s possible that such an animal can act with more kindness and generosity than thousands upon thousands of human beings, unwilling to endure a bit of inconvenience in order to protect the health and safety of an entire population.
Many people living outside the U.S. borders are trying to understand what has gone so terribly wrong with America. The photo here may serve as a clue.
