It would energize the parts that are deathly afraid of COVID and think Trump personally coughed down the throats of 200k Americans.
2020 U.S. Presidential Election - Took place November 3, 2020. Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden assumed office January 20, 2021.

I
I read that she had symptoms. This is somewhat freaking me out because blue team is insane and wants an entirely different country that will suck.

Possibly a free kick for the Democrats. No doubt they do what they always do and fuck it up. Inb4 someone in the party, The Squad I'm looking at you, publicly says they hope he dies.

Governor DeWine in Ohio got a false positive, as did an entire baseball team. Also my crazy brain just thought of the possibility of a false positive as deliberate sabotage...

That still doesn't make any sense to me. If Trump is out of the picture, then their problem has taken care of itself. How are they gonna sock it to Trump if he's dead?
Isn't like 70% of Biden's support purely anti-Trump? What is there to motivate Dem voters without bad Orange Man?

True, that is something to consider.
The bulk of the severe cases tended to be in February, March, and April when it was a lot more novel as opposed to months later when the general public is slowly building a resistance and we know a lot more on how to treat it by comparison.
If Boris got the virus in March, it was probably more potent than whatever strain Trump has and hasn't Trump been taking those malaria drugs that can be used to treat COVID-19 and prevent it since April or something

Oh what a time to be alive! Two of the most vitriolic, galvanizing political races conceivable, and we get the front seat. Barring a civil war or WWIII, we’ll be firsthand witnesses to the best years of dumbassery, trolling, and upsets.

Probably something along the lines of "We gotta 'em on the ropes! Let's finish 'em off now!".
Meaning, if Trump is down, this is a huge moral boost to the Dems base, and rallies them all back up. Like it, or not, Trump's entire existence is a huge detriment to them, and him dying, or even being slightly weakened is all that they need to come back and swarm in full-force.
Trump's probably seems like an insurmountable force to some of them, but if he's sudden gone, or even seems like he could be beaten, it's a major confidence boost, and a signal for them to finish him off while they still have the chance.

Something else to consider is that there was a wave of sympathy for Boris around that time which (might account for those approval numbers rising) even among people on my Facebook who usually shit on him. Might humanize him to a lot of people.

Imagine believing both that Trump has a vast paramilitary wing at his command and that he's dependent on Twitter to give the "Execute the winds" order*. This is Q tier conspiracy theory.

You absolutely cannot treat something that has killed 200k people like "LOL NBD" that would be the worst possible optics situation decision I've seen since Tipper yelled at the convention. 200k isn't 1% of the country. You cannot treat other people's deaths like it's no big deal under any circumstances.

Because it affirms the malfeasance narrative that the coronavirus is this super scary disease on par with Ebola if it was easily transmitted. The MSM and elites do not care that death rate have significantly dropped, that the public is building up resistance to it, or that people who die from it are often compounded with other co-morbidity. This was the moment they were waiting for, the perfect occasion to bring the coronavirus back to the forefront. If Trump ends up being hospitalized due to this, they will run with "TRUMP IS SICK" until Election Day happens. The Democrats are relying on the most negatively energized base in history to throw Trump out and if that works, the lock downs will be repeated in the near future. They are already pushing for climate lock down and you can bet even if they suddenly "re-open" after Biden gets elected that the DNC will plan another lock down when the opportunity presents themselves.
We'll have to wait and see. If Trump makes a quick recovery, it can damage the COVID-19 narrative much like how a ACB confirmation would demoralize potential voters on the Supreme Court issue. But right now, we don't know what's going to happen.
Trump is also running a difficult re-election campaign where anything and everything can be used against him, especially his response to the COVID-19 lockdown. Boris was not when he caught it. I'd like to believe the public would be more sympathetic to Trump but I will believe it when I see it. Trump once again has to exhibit strength in order to come out with a fighting shot at winning this election. That's one of the reasons why Trump won the first debate against Biden, because he showed strength while Biden showed weakness.

I'm torn on this being groundbreaking an this meaning literally nothing in the end. I guess it all depends on if Trump survives or not. If he survives, nothingburger. With the extreme political polarization Trump getting sick won't convince large amounts of people who dislike him to suddenly feel sorry for him, nor will it convince large amounts of people who like him that he's shit. The TDS vote is near maxed out. The more leftist folks who hate both Trump and Biden won't be motivated to vote for Biden by this. Tweets saying "lol I hope Drompf dies" aren't a vote for Biden. Hell, they probably hope Biden dies too and by magic the Bernie/Squad/DSA wing of the Democratic party is in power.
Worst case scenario is Trump dies and this causes tensions to explode and leads to a civil war. (My apologies for sounding like Beanie Man by the way)
This year has been a wild ride of absolutely crazy game changers, but mixed in with them is shit that should have hit the fan but didn't.
But it's only been a few hours since the announcement, it's time to see what'll happen from both Team Trump and Team Dem. The Democrats these days have a track record for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory so they might pull some stupid shit too.

Very true. With how much time has passed it's likely that mutations have made the virus into a more infectious but less lethal strain (remember, high lethality is why diseases like Ebola and even Corona-chan's big sibling SARS didn't run rampant over the entire world killing everyone)

I play some Nintendo for a couple of hours to relax, and then I stop to get on the computer for a bit, and I see this.
I'm not even shocked at this point, really. My initial response was "Of course he tested positive, because it's 2020."
Well, the thing that ultimately matters is that he stays healthy at this point.
I agree. This ordeal is either going to help Trump tremendously, or absolutely sink him.

Speaking of, shouldn't we get an "Happening" thread since Trump has COVID-19 and this will be covered extensively until either he recovers or Election Day?
Frankly, I think the 20 years curse is just a coincidence. Interesting from a trivia/historical perspective but it shouldn't be used to predict the death of the next president in office.
Also fun fact, we haven't had a Democratic president die in office since Johnson in 1973. If Trump were to die this month or next month, that means five Republican presidents would have died before Carter.
The hearing for ACB starts on October 12th and the vote is supposed to come in on Friday last time I checked.

Yeah when you have so few its hard for them to die.
Also and this is just some more random guessing. But what if this is a work. He knows rhe media will destroy pence, and he wants to transform the media cycle. So why not make up that he has covid, and then 2 weeks from now like a Phoenix from the ashes he returns from deaths door to debate Biden in a town hall and save the day. Just like in the heros journey trunp makes his own entrance into the underworld woth thos virus and learns from the dead how to defeat biden.
