Yeah I think this is the headline that finally did it for me. Hurting Democrats isn't enough, hurting minorities isn't enough. They want the country to no longer exist. They want a smouldering pile of rubble left, literally preferably, but they'll accept metaphorical if that's all they can get. The point of this administration is to destroy America and kill as many citizens in the process as humanly possible.

No matter how bad it's seemed I swear fucking God the next day it's proven worse than that. At no point was it possible to accurately assess how royally fucked we are or how evil these Nazis are. And you'll have Republicans defending all this shit even if they personally are being sent to the gulag. They'd say we're overreacting even as they themselves are having the executioner's hood forced over their heads. I don't understand how it would be possible to use the power of government in more evil ways.

I don't think it's quite that Captain Planet.

The ruling elite in the US are all several generations down the line of nepotism. None of them have ever had to experience consequences, nor learn a lesson, they are just stupid rich people who think they're rich on their own merits.

There are a few very rich very evil people who are playing them like puppets though and they're too stupid to notice.

Oh, wait that is pretty Captain Planet.

I noticed nothing you said contradicts my assertion that they actively want people dead. Nothing about being rich means you need to go out of your way to mass murder. I don't even see how they could profit from this decision

Technically correct! The best kind of correct.
