If you compare to best practice or at least attempted best practice if you add East Asian and South East Asia and Australasia together, it's a population over 2,000,000,000 and less than 1,000,000 cases, compare that to the US. Unfortunately some countries like Philippines and Indonesia probably can't stop it but they are low income countries with crowded slums where it's near impossible to stop but at least they have achieved slowing it down and tried.

Some of you have said has it always been there under the surface and the answer is of course, look at any dictatorship in history but especially Japan and Germany because we all know them from WWII , think how those populations behaved with probably 90% support. In other words only a small minority of us are capable of withstanding brainwashing, you will never know you are that way unless you become brainwashed but at some point realise that was the case and consider yourself stupid which is psychologically very hard. So vast majority have it in us, stress and having no control over something is apparently a precursor for believing in conspiracy theories, so for many covid 19 has reinforced there support for and belief in Trump.

@eandsm4620 see the top 2 responses to the original comment, people confused about their friends/associates behaviour, I responded to that saying most of us can be brainwashed given the right environment, it doesn't mean someone was always like that.

Trump is actually extremely similar in behaviour and style to former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra . His base was the poor and the same sort of rhetoric coming from a billionaire who says he's not a politician. I believe Trump has probably studied up on how other leaders did what he has just done, I would say he has studied Reagan's success previously and the slogan Make America Great Again actually comes from the Reagan campaign. Trump is no Reagan though.
