If President Trump had just instituted a nationwide lockdown, travel restrictions, and mask orders in early March like the Democrats say he should have ...
... then the Democrats would have called him a dictator (again), blue state governors would have refused to uphold it, and Antifa would be refusing to wear masks and complaining that closing businesses disproportionately hurts poor and minority households.
Meanwhile, Republicans would be telling all the out-of-work service industry employees to "get real jobs" while the MAGA crowd would be lining up to make the mask industry a billion dollar a year enterprise.
And we'd almost certainly still have roughly the same number of COVID cases... maybe more, because there's at least a chance that Governors Newsom and Cuomo would have hesitated to go along with the plan for fear of looking like they caved to Bad Orange Man.
