      Yes, a very scary crisis under this asshat is what truly scares me (and that’s assuming he doesn’t just go for broke on being a dictator day one). I mean, Covid was bad enough, but had a very, very low fatality rate.

      Something like H5N1 would be a total fustercluck of conspiracy theories, narcissism, bad advice, nonsense and carnage under this utterly incompetent dumbass and his grifting accomplices/hangers-on…Americans would pay the price by the millions under such bad “leadership”.

      Thankfully, at least, adults are aiming to do something about it; I hope they don’t slow down in any way, and instead work on this very diligently in the even that donnie does get into office so that we are prepared for just such an event. Of course, the faux/maga/q brainiacs have spread so much antivaxxer nonsense that their actions would likely have a negative effect even when we do have a vaccine and even if donnie is not in office.

      H5N1 is almost certainly going to become a pandemic no matter who wins.

      And the majority GOP House (plus a likely Senate takeover) will do the same exact thing they did in 2019 when COVID hit: Blame foreigners, persecute physicians, peddle phony cures, and deny its even happening all at once.
