If Congress and Trump wind up favoring corporations and not doing something to enable the working class and the poor to get through this, I think there will be rioting, no matter what the status of the pandemic is. Whether or not the cases and fatalities are getting better or worse, if people can't feed their families or otherwise get shafted, and they see the government throwing money at big corporations, it's not going to go well.
If rioting happens, I hope it is directed at the real villians instead of middle class businesses. Attack the rich if possible, as well as the corrupt politicians. Too bad both of those groups are so well protected and very unlikely to be reached by mobs.
There already have been riots for 55 years in cities without enough jobs enough safe housing and living wages....so the gangs control territories for dope sex trafficking and gun running .... adding middle class people to the already oppressed in favor of millionaire stock holders banksters polluters and war crime profiteering zionists WILL FINALLY BE TARGETED BY THE GREENS AND LIBERTARIANS who have organized against these incumbent gangsters of blueREDS redBLUES duopoly party ....most people in USA are told to stay home like the Palestinians of Gaza are locked down 4 decades now ....finally middle class USA will act in solidarity with the oppressed "others" now LIVING in shrinking zones of personal travel to stores or in their cars to see neglected loved ones
