And, yes, for those who want to point out what countries the US is now in league with in terms of our rapidly disappearing democracy, well, I won't argue the point. And certainly, if one looks at Trump's COVID-19 mortality as but one measure from his last term, the decimation of health research and access to health care thus far in this one, well, there is a case to be made. No argument here.
