US begins election weekend in economic & social chaos

The US economy just recorded its largest quarter of economic growth ever - 33%. Too bad it comes on the heels of a 31% plunge in the last economic quarter. The seven month-long failure to pass a second stimulus package pushed stocks to their worst week in seven months.
The US appears to have been taken by surprise by the long-expected autumn wave of coronavirus, with new lockdowns creating major anger among the businesses who weren’t bankrupted by the spring lockdowns.
Pro-Trump media coverage is dominated by the ever-ballooning allegations of major financial corruption by the Biden family. Joe Biden has never disputed the authenticity of the proof which alleges corruption but he has denied the allegations of corruption.
Anti-Trump media is focused on widespread fears of post-election violence.
Right-wing media says the polls show that Donald Trump might lose the general election but will handily win the electoral college vote. Their claim is based around the so-called “shy voter” theory: that Trump supporters aren’t talking honestly to polling agencies.
Centrist media says the majority of polls maintain a small and narrowing lead for the challenger Joe Biden. They say Biden will win handily when the record number of mail-in ballots are totally counted, which could take many weeks.
Add all that up, and throw in a few more vital issues which we don’t have the time to list, and it’s clear that America is heading into a historic election in an incredibly chaotic state marked by fear, hysteria and uncertainty. The vote is on Tuesday November 3rd.
