The Economic and Electoral Effect of DEAD PEOPLE

It is clear that #Trump is making the calculation that you can save lives or you can save the economy. Fullstop. It is necessary to examine the electoral and economic effect of DEAD PEOPLE.

DEAD PEOPLE are really bad for the economy. 

They do not buy. They do not sell things. They do not employ, or manage hedgefunds, even if they did all these things when they were alive. 

What dead people do is shrink the economy. Reduce the markets for good and services by one each. That is now over 70 thousand person reduction in people buying, selling, paying ...taxes. And that number grows by thousands every day and WILL ONLY GET LARGER. Everyday. Exponential growth in number of DEAD PEOPLE. If you want to run on a big powerful economy, having a growing Black Hole of DEAD PEOPLE devouring the Economy is a bad way to do it.

The Electoral Effect of DEAD PEOPLE. DEAD PEOPLE don't vote. Their direct effect on electoral representation is the dictionary definition of Negligible. Electoral Non-Entities for true!

But to fail to look beyond that is gross malpractice of any political operator. Everyone who is dead was someone's wife husband child sibling aunt uncle niece nephew friend lover customer (see Economic Impact of DEAD PEOPLE.)

The death of anyone impacts profoundly any from one to possibly millions of people in the case of a death of a celebrity.

The death of a loved one or even an acquaintance is the ONE THING most likely to change one's thinking on political matter if their preferred politics lead to their loved one's death.

Grief anger and recriminations are common feelings surrounding death and always rebound to ...those in charge. Under normal conditions.

These are NOT normal conditions.

Everybody who knows anybody who died of Covid19 or even just infected with it has a really excellent chance of becoming infected and dying themselves. Even if they are believers in Trump.

Trumpsters taste just like everyone else to the Corona 19 Virus.

Everyone who has the symptoms, knows and loves some one who has and knew and loved someone who died from it is REALLY unlikely to agree with #Trump that a strong economy (again, see Economic Effect of DEAD) was worth the sacrifice of them or their loved ones.

There is a key fact about the electoral effect of DEAD PEOPLE. The number of dead people grow exponentially under Covid19. The number bereaved and angry at the Trump Administration grows even faster, ever larger. Even if they had been Trump voters themselves.

Learning that ...they and Everyone they love is one the Virus's menu. The number of people disinclined to vote for Trump grows at a far quicker rate than the number of people infected and killed by the Virus.

It's not something that can be gotten around by the proper Messaging.
