I agree Americans fell in line and conformed at the behest of Trump. A good many trust him. The rest have been conditioned for years by the media and the Left to be scared & to trust authoritative bodies. The "pandemic" was prime pickings. It was a great test for the Agenda 2030 folks in seeing how far their reach could really go and how easily the homo sapiens would roll over to global organizations.

This virus is not the Flu nor is it Ebola.

Thousands of additional people will die when it is and unavoidably from reopening the economy. If it were possible for most people to shelter in place many deaths could be avoided but sheltering in place today as it was during the great plaques of Medieval Europe the providence of the rich. The same relationship exists between nations and the rich and poor. The poorer the nation the less practical shelter in place becomes. The U.N. is warning that a crisis is building in the third world because of social distancing that because of food shortages and resulting political instability could cost millions of lives. The evil of Marxism has always played out on who is expendable. In the Soviet Union it was the Kulaks for the modern relatively rich leftist it apparently is anyone poorer than they are but especially people in developing nations.

Trump's leadership has always stemmed from optimism as opposed to the narcissistic nihilism that characterizes Western intellectuals. It is no different with the pandemic. It is an honest optimism and that is why it is effective. Contrasted against the self indulgent pessimism of the self designated elites including former president Obama it is refreshing. Pessimism like sheltering in place is a luxury indulgence of narcissists.

But, if Trump opposed the quarantine would the American people have followed it on Fauci's advice? Is the public cooperation an indication of trust in the President?

Quarantines are for the sick and vulnerable. Not the healthy. I will vote for Trump, but he can go fuck himself on this one. I am NOT quarantining until I get the virus.

The media and the left would crucify Trump if he went against medical authority. I on the other hand would go to Costco and buy a hot dog and a Diet Coke.
