I don't know of anyone in my area that wants the country to be destroyed to prove Trump wrong. That's common alt-right propaganda. Everyone loses when the country goes down the tubes. We're all in this together.
Our (Republican) governor is doing an excellent job, despite huge infection and poor Federal leadership. The (Republican) governor of Ohio seems to be doing a good job as well. Governors have largely stepped up.
And also I see there's the old "hiding in their basement" trope again. The only people secluded are people who can afford to do that. The country is opening up, for better or worse, and people are called back to work, going into harm's way to make a living because they have no choice. Chinese New Year was Jan 17-24. No one was taking this virus seriously enough then, except that racist fears had already cut deeply into the living of Chinese-American businesses, hence the encouragement by some. Is it really all that different from South Padre Island at that time?
Trump is not an optimist. He is an opportunistic narcissist. It's all about his reelection. Hard to believe that anyone from either party admires that at all.
