Watching the ebb and flow of discussion on social media and amongst friends and neighbors, I think that another line needs to be added to George Orwell's Party slogan. The idea has always been there, but now it serves us well to make it official:
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
Fear is Safety.
Long live the party.

Funnily enough, '1984' and 'Brave New World' were both required reading in my Public School Freshman Honors English class ('89-'90.) I wonder if those two tomes are even allowed nowadays...

we'll actually have that corporatocracy some erroneously fear-mongered we had the past couple of decades.
Maybe they were just ahead of the curve?
Now my tinfoil hat is glowing.
Kind of a coincidence that this happens once we put a millionaire business mogul in the drivers seat.
Maybe that's why he isn't doing it himself? It's being done in a back room deal. corporatocracy would greatly benefit people like trump.

if he enacts the powers invested in him during times of war... well theoretically he could stay in indefinitely, or at least until the "conflict" is resolved. But first he would have to declare a state of war, and I'm not sure one can declare war on virus...?

Your right. I hadn't considered that.
I guess we need to watch what trump does about the november elections then.
