If you were the leader of a global power hostile to the US & you wanted to undermine our country’s ability to grow, thrive & unite, you’d disinvest in people, infrastructure, science, research & innovation. You’d make people sicker by delaying vaccines. You’d try to frustrate freedom of the press.

The logic of filling in public swimming pools with dirt or cement instead of racially integrating them, applied to the whole country
A Black man won the presidency and they decided to burn the entire country to the ground so it won’t be something worth winning anymore.
