As the economy slowly implodes during the "3rd wave" of the coronavirus, Congress in the person of Mitch McConnell has decided there will be no stimulus passed before the election. Furthermore, McConnell has decided to blame Democrats for the inaction, posing himself as looking out for the little guy instead of "coastal elites".
The epic hypocrisy of this stance would surely be the death knell of any other politician, but McConnell is bullet proof in Kentucky. If Jesus Christ was running against him, Moscow Mitch would find a way to smear him, or as he did in a recent debate just chuckled as his opponent exposed him for the venal liar he is.
It looks like the economy will have rolled into a ditch by election day. Once again, Republicans will leave the smoking wreckage for Democrats to fix. Meanwhile they will sabotage every attempt, having rediscovered their inner deficit hawks. Falling back to a position of fixing democracy, Democrats will then be labeled as court packing power hungry monsters by astro-turf groups sponsored by Koch Industries and will probably lose their Senate majority in 2022. I hope, but wouldn't bet against national amnesia in 2024. We can then start the cycle over again, praying the Republicans barf up another tRump instead of a really competent demagogue...
