Basically, my grandfather was from Kansas. His Father was a Captain in the Northern Army from Kansas during the Civil War. My grandfather was very Cowboy like in his demeanor. He once beat up 13 men on a construction job because they crossed him. What's the problem with all this?
It isn't 1900 anymore. People have changed from being like this. My grandfather also once shot off the hat of a Forest Ranger with his bear hunting 30 odd 6 rifle who wanted to take away his mining claim and the Rangers left him alone after that too until my grandfather died around 1970 in his 80s or 90s when his wheel bearing froze on his Panel Truck (Van) and this threw him and his Van into a river in Idaho. My grandfather also went to get his gas coupons from harvesting his Victory Garden in Wenatchee Washington during World War II and they wouldn't give them to him. So, he went back to his vehicle and brought his double barreled shotgun (unloaded) and laid it on the counter and asked for his gas rations to harvest his crop and they gave them to him.
All these things were more normal back in those days and they expected things like this from old Kansas Cowboys of that era who were very solid citizens of the U.S. in those days.
But, what was normal in 1900 or the 1940s from his generation born just after the Civil War is not now. But, Somehow Trump is a throwback to these times which is crazy. Another Throwback to the times of the Victorian Era and Dictators is Putin. It's not surprising Trump and Putin get along too.
Except that Putin now lives in complete isolation and does everything from one of his palaces through a Russian Version of Zoom now in order to not get infected with coronavirus. Whereas Trump thinks he's immortal and that he couldn't ever get coronavirus but his belief system just got shattered all to hell.
So, if you wonder why Trump is so very OFF kilter it's because his belief system has shattered all over the place and he might be dying. But, Trump is old school and because of this might not only die trying to live his own special way but also take many Republican Americans with him into his death.
Also, I'm very proud of my non-conformist Grandfather. And I used this illustration just to show how out of touch with the times we live in that Trump actually is.
In other words, "Someone like Trump who reminds me a lot of Joseph McCarthy of the 1950s who ruined thousands of lives of people in the 1950s for no real useful reason, is the real problem behind 210,000 or more Americans dead with Coronavirus.
Without Trump's 1950s backward thinking less or even none of those people would have died.
Because of this, I blame Trump's archaic out of touch thinking for all their deaths, both in the U.S. and beyond.
