150,000 Americans succumbed. 5,000,000 infected. An economy that shed 20,000,000 jobs. We lost the battle, but now we settle in for the war. This once-a-hundred year event may have been caused on purpose to sabotage the chances of a high-flying president. Alternatively, said president may have calculated that letting the governors lead was the best course of action. Nonetheless, here we all are staring at another year of quarantine life.
What will be the effect of this pandemic and it’s response on the electoral chances of the President, who is never wrong?

Although the 1960s were known for fighting the government’s lies, it took the internet to connect these crusaders for freedom to find their voice in the late 1990s.
