The lives of us all depend on conservatives' courage

Let's face it, Trump is mentally ill, and the fate of the nation rests on the shoulders of conservatives that he listens to having the courage to tell him what he must do for the nation.  Here is his latest evidence of his profound mental disease:


"“I say, ‘Mike, don’t call the governor of Washington; you’re wasting your time with him. Don’t call the woman in Michigan. It doesn’t make any difference what happens.’ You know what I say: ‘If they don’t treat you right, I don’t call.”


Conservatives on Fox News and in the right wing media bubble need to tell him that he needs to use his powers to send help where it is needed, not where people "treat him right".  Republicans in the Senate and House need to tell him face to face what he needs to do. And if he won't listen they need to go public, en masse.


We need conservatives to show courage and do the right thing for the nation.  It is blue states with high population densities being hardest hit now by COVID-19, but rural areas with marginal health care systems are at very great risk as well, and this virus is coming for them.


Trump's mental illness - pathological psychotic narcissistic self centeredness - makes him incapable of compassion or caring for other people.  He can only see people as worshipers who "treat him right" or as enemies to be destroyed. It is sad for him as a person, and extraordinarily dangerous for the rest of us as long as he has any power at all over our lives.  He literally is threatening to kill people who don't "treat him right."  (It is an understatement to say that this is an unconstitutional abuse of power)


Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, the Fox morning show folks,  Mitch McConnell, Devin Nunes, all Republican Senate and House members, Republican governors - we need you to show courage.  Once you start, all can join, and you will be protected by your numbers if all join in.  And then Trump will decide, ON HIS OWN, that he was right all along that he said he was sending help to every state according to need rather than according to their political leadership, because he is the greatest president in American history.


The fate of America rests on the shoulders of a very few conservative.  I know this seems like a foolish dream right now, but it is one I need to have. And so I dream it.....
